07/06/19 - On 07/05, I got up around 7:50 am and started to finish putting things up since I was hoping to leave by 10:00 am for Auburn, Nebraska.  Alice had already left for Colorado and her husband David went to the farm to say good bye to his sister that was leaving.  She lives in Georgia.  David returned and helped me finish up and get the RV moved out of the yard.  Well, because of all the rain, I had sank some so I had to rock the RV a little to get it out of the yard.  Finally, we made it and soon I was hooked up when a huge what he called a wall of clouds came up from the east and the west and he was really concerned since he says that what stirs up a tornado.  We watched it for a minute, discussed whether I should wait to get on the road and finally it kinda got to looking a less angry so I started off around 9:35 am.  I was not even 5 minutes down the road before it really started to rain but never poured enough that I felt I had to stop but was very, very windy so driving was a little slow until I got to Topeka and then I had good weather all the way to Nebraska.  I spent a little more time for lunch since I was trying to get my directions to Galen's house in my mind since the GPS did not recognize the address. I text Katie to confirm my directions and then took off.  I got to their house at around 2:30 pm.  I got the car off and then discussed where I would park.  We decided on a place but had a low hanging wire so Laura (great niece) stood of top of their SUV and gave me directions as to whether we would clear the wire.  I got I only have about two inches left but cleared it and I am parked on the side of the house.  We leveled the RV but waited until Galen came home to hook up the electric.  Katie made a great dinner and after dinner we then hooked up the electric, took a shower and I was off to bed by 10:30 pm. 

This morning, I have been getting settled in, need to write a birthday card and on the phone with my siblings since I have been asked to speak at Aunt Kay's memorial with memories I have of  her.  This afternoon, will spend the time with niece Katie and her family.
