I don't mind lady bugs paying us a visit, but I didn't care too much for the cricket we had. One night, I was sitting on the edge of the bed and felt something brush against my leg. Dog was in the bed, so I knew it wasn't him! Minutes later...Jiminy Cricket!!! There be a cricket on our pillow! Actually, I'm not entirely certain it was a cricket. Thought they were smaller than this thing was. Looked more like a black grasshopper to me. Is there such a thing? Anyway, freaked me out!! Still wonder how it got in here. Be gone black creature of the night!
We are in Taylor, Michigan. We'll be picking up our rental car in the morning and heading home to Sudbury...an 8-9 hour drive. It's a lot cooler up here than what it was this morning down in Missouri. Time to break out the long pants, socks and runners!
Dwayne will be heading back down here on Friday to re-unite with the red beast. As for me, I've decided to stay home until after Christmas. I want to be home to enjoy the season with friends and family.
It's been an enjoyable 6 weeks. Next time I head out, it'll be for much longer. We did file the initial paperwork with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service and they've assigned us a case number. The ball is rolling for getting me into the States. Now we wait to hear further from them as to what they want from us next.
I'll make a few more posts before signing off till the new year. I have some pics I want to post from an outdoor sports outfitter store we visited a few weeks ago, but I need a better connection to do it.
For tonight, here's a pic of a little chapel we passed in southeastern Oklahoma called 'The Roadside Church', and a unique former gas station, now a Chamber of Commerce...
You never know what you'll find around each corner!
