It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…

It’s Superman!

After a visit with our son-in-law’s parents in Tennessee on Tuesday, we headed north to St Louis.   It was a VERY windy day, and after crossing the Ohio River near Paducah, Kentucky, we decided to take a different route to get away from the wind and to see what RabbitRAILS might lie ahead.

In Metropolis, a small town in southern Illinois, road signs announced a giant statue of their most famous resident.   You guessed it – Superman!

We took ample photos and then were able to get up close.  I rapped my knuckles against the cape and exclaimed to Pat, “Wow this statue is made of metal.”

She said that made sense, informing me, “After all, he IS the man of steel!”

The Journey Begins

And so it goes – after plans, preparation and prayers, our journey to Alaska finally began at 12:37 pm on April 14, 2018.

Our journey started with journeys of their own.  Family and work lives, retirement six weeks ago and getting ready to leave.

We are especially grateful for sendoffs by our church family group and neighbors.  We cherish the times together and miss you all.

Our first stop is a visit with our daughter, son-in-law and three-month-old grandson near Macon, Georgia.

It is raining here today but we are nice and dry.  Good chance to figure out how to blog and to plan our days ahead.
