2010

Well...
Didn't get anything posted in 2010 and, I suppose, it is no small wonder...
In December 2009 Matt, Rhea and I decided to move back to California at the end of January 2010. Rhea's mother had breat cancer and my mother's health was failing. It was a difficult decision and more so for me as I loved living in the midwest. Actually, I love living anywhere but Southern California - too many issues.
After securing a transport for our belongings and preparing ourselves for the long trip ahead we left Aurora, Illinois at the end of January. We were about 200 miles from Aurora when the fuel pump on my car gave out. We spent 2 nights in Bloomington having repairs completed while we stayed in a motel with 'bed bugs.' I should interject at this point we had planned our travels around a huge ice storm that was going to hit 5 of the states we had to travel through. Our delay put of head on with the storm... We managed to reroute the trip and drove above the storm and that is another story.
