Finally on the Road

After a fun filled weekend in St. Charles with Pam’s mom and extended family we are finally able to travel for a few weeks.

Since our last blog Pam’s step dad passed away in April and shortly after that her mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer which has metastasized to the liver and brain. At 91 years of age she has opted to do immunotherapy with the hope of extending her life a few more months.  Pam’s brother and his children and grandchildren were in St. Charles and our children and grands joined them for the weekend.  It was fun filled and busy but mom enjoyed it all.
John and I left the Missouri heat and humidity and drove north hoping to escape the ‘oven’ but haven’t gone far enough.  We are camped in Illiniwek Forest Preserve, a county park near the Quad Cities on the Mississippi River.  We are also on the Great River Trail, a bike path that runs about 60 miles from Davenport/Rock Island northwards.
