First off, I’d like to offer this cute photo for Project Look Through. Dianne and Dawn have inspired me to join in the fun (with what little time I have left before our trip). This was what I saw when I looked through a family member’s windshield the other day. I had to take a picture of it. Maybe I can send in a few more “look through” shots while on our big trip? We’ll see!
SPRITTIBEE’S HEARTLAND-AMERICA ROADTRIP
I thought I would make this post the Dashboard for our trip. Here is where I’m keeping our list of things to get done and a place to refer to with all our updates. Hopefully if you have been to Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio or Michigan, it will also be a place where you can leave some comments about places that MUST be seen along the way. I’m also accepting emails to this affect – if you don’t want to post it for the world, that is.

Hey, there. Hope y’all have a safe and fun-filled trip!
My boys are still struggling with some bug. We’ve got Chris on antibiotics now and Alex is going in tomorrow to see the doc about some pretty nasty lookin’ tonsils.
I’m sure we’ll be well by the time you get back! 🙂
Peace,
Cindy.

Great PLT shot! Just let me know when I need to post. The only days I’m totally not available are Thurs., Fri, Sat. next week, but you might be home by then. I’ll have to check your schedule! 🙂
BTW, this is the most difficult to read word verification I’ve never seen! (okay, I realized my typo, but then “never” seemed to make more sense) 🙂
