When we said good night to Nana last night, we told her we would come by this morning to see her again. We got there about 8 or so. She had arranged for us to eat breakfast with her so we waited until a table for 3 became available and had breakfast with her...it was a wonderful visit. After breakfast, we went out into the courtyard and sat on the benches and talked for a while. We had to beg and plead but we finally got Nana to agree to let us take a picture with her in it. Couldn't get one of just her so we got an aid to take one of the 3 of us. We also had a hard time getting her to smile a bit, but she finally did...just a little! Since we had the dogs in the car and we were sitting in the courtyard, Jerry went and got them and they got to visit too! Of course they got lots of attention so they loved it!
Time to say good bye and get back on the road. We will arrive in St. Louis sometime this afternoon and I guess that will be the official end of this trip. HOWEVER...I won't get home until after Aug. 6 because of the family float trip. The trip to STL was uneventful...still lots of cornfields. Although I will say we were MOST impressed with the farms and cornfields around Williamsburg. The cornfields were beautiful and looked to be manicured!!! As were the roadsides and the farms we saw. Everything was so clean and neat....I don't think a corn plant would dare grow taller than it's neighbor...it looked like very tall, very manicured grass! It is really a lovely area.
It is not too far a drive from Williamsburg to STL. We were at Jean's right at 2 p.m. after having stopped at Ted Drewe's for a frozen custard and a hot fudge sundae! Yummmmm!!! That is a most honored STL tradition in the family and we are always happy to uphold that tradition! It was good to see some familiar faces. We went to the nursing home to see Jim and then we took him and went to eat with Carol at Pietro's and had some good Italian food. Then we had some more Ted Drewe's. Jean had plans for the evening. We spent the night at her house and planning to head to Piedmont tomorrow.
