Day 2

Good morning America! Day 2 and we are on the road again. Willie already sang of course,

We hit the closest Starbucks, picked up some music and here we are, on the way to Omaha.

Cathy asked about Dorothy yesterday, so I will fill everyone in. Dorothy is from OZ an she is our GPS. She is trying to get home, but I swear she is NEVER going to make it, with or without the ruby slippers.

She gets so confused and thinks she is in Australia. She does have her moments though.

Yesterday I saw about 35 Buteo's ( Raptor with a wing span longer than the tail length )

We saw 2 Eaagles and a handful of Kestrels. The Ferruginous were incredible.

They are a large (largest ) Buteo. If you see them flying they have a light underbelly with some brown mottling.

When sitting, they look like their head is too small for their body and the feathers on the legs come down to the feet. They can get to 25 inches tall, they look huge!

The boys (Simon and Schuster) don't really care about the birds.

They are asleep, it is a hard life. Afterall they did have to go out in the cold and walk

around and go to the bathroom. Ah........the life of a dog. They do like to listen to music though.

My son Gabe is a muscian and we will put one of his CD's on soon. The boys think he is great, ,espicially when Laney sings with him.

Life s pretty darn good when your husband is the bus driver ( his comment ) and your son sings and your daughter travels with you in her virtual office. I am the luckiest woman in the galaxy.

It is another gray day , but we are missing the storm that is brewing behind us. A lot less stress to travel without bad weather.

Iowa sure has bumpy roads...............good thing no one gets car sick here.
