WiFi Trouble!!

Sept 11-Boy are we having trouble with our wireless, not to mention our Sprint phone service. We apologize for being hard to reach for a few days. We continued through Minnesota with a great swing through Badlands National Park. For those of you who have expressed concern about Elsie I'll post a picture of her. See? She's having a great time too! After Badlands we lost all communication, but continued across the southern side of Minnesota and on into Wisconsin. We crossed the Mississippi into LaCrosse, birthplace of the world-famous-almost-principal-father-of-the-best-kids, KEN HUBBARD! Beautiful town. The Mississippi was gorgeous, although we've been in low clouds and rain for most of it. This whole area is not as I expected. I thought it would be flat and dry--and it's beautiful, rolling, green hills covered with deciduous trees. Corn and soybeans growing EVERYWHERE! We are now in Iowa with internet friends, Gene and Sandy, who are hopefully helping Gene fix our WiFi. Elsie loved their home-base in Williamsburg, Iowa-atop a hill surrounded by their own cornfield. They are full time RVers but luckily were home. Great pizza and cinnamon roll stop in Williamsburg if you are ever passing through! Love, Barb PS-Will someone please email me the date of world-famous-policeman-father-of-the-best-kids, ERIC HUBBARD so that I know when his graduation (that's probably not what you call it) is? I need a photo of him too!!!
April 1-Now that the cat is completely out of the bag and the whole world knows about Lentil Toy, I thought I'd put in an addendum to this post. Caroline and Marc called us while we were in Williamsburg to announce that they were indeed pregnant. We had been hoping for such an announcement but still weren't ready for the emotions it instilled. All we wanted to do was hug them both--which was tough since we were miles apart. We were sworn to secrecy but of course we told EVERYONE in Williamsburg figuring it wouldn't get back to anyone at home. Once baby was bigger and C & M got to tell everyone I still wasn't really comfortable announcing it on the blog. Now of course, everyone knows and the doctor has pronounced him a healthy BOY! So, our little Lentil is expected on May 19th and we can't wait!
