December 28, 2017 - Thursday evening

Terre Haute, Indiana

Not much in the way of pictures or news this evening. Honestly, I'm too tired to write.

We left Pentoga Road at 6:15 this morning. With the thermometer showing -23, I started the car well before we left to be sure it was warm. We were almost an hour down the road before the interior became comfortable.

Driving through western Wisconsin from north to south, we made excellent time. Even when traffic was heavy, it moved along.

Arrival time in Terre Haute was around 4 this afternoon. Mom asked if she might treat us to a meal at Red Lobster. Of course!

Supper finished, Sargie was dropped off at the mall. After, I brought Mom on home and saw her settled in before I joined Sargie.

The battery on my iPhone quit working this morning so I took the opportunity to stop by the Verizon store in the mall. It was there I met my newest BFF Tyler. 

Tyler, a sales associate, renewed my faith in the younger generation. He worked with my phone, called Verizon corporate, and did all sorts of digital magic. In the end, my phone worked and the battery is once again taking a charge.

I'll be writing a note to Verizon corporate telling them that they have a real winner for a sales associate in Terre Haute, Indiana.

After a fast jaunt to Sam's Club, we returned to Mom's where we enjoyed a quick visit before taking the elevator to our guest apartment.

I have no idea what time we'll head north in the morning. I'd like to leave fairly early, but both Sargie and I are a couple of tired kids. 

We'll leave when we leave.

It's past 9 and I'm writing this while lying on my back in bed, the computer on my belly. My eyes are growing heavy and they want to close. I guess I'd better let them.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
