On Friday we drove down to Indiana through a series of strong thunderstorms with heavy rain. It was no fun at all.
Our object: moving Bill out of his dorm room at Ball State University and bringing him home. Because he will be transferring to a school closer to home, this will probably be the last time any of will ever visit Muncie or Ball State.
In a night and day contrast to last year, Bill was fully packed and well organized. All we had to do was carry his stuff down to the Jeep, sweep his room floor, and turn in his key.
If I had known that, I would not have reserved a room for the night at a local motel. And we had checked into the room before he went to the dorm. So, since we were stuck paying for the room no matter what, we decided to go ahead and spend the night in Muncie anyway.
We ate dinner at a popular local pizza place called Greek's. The pizza was good. bill sold back his textbooks.
In the morning we ate a quick breakfast in the motel lobby, then all drove home.
Dan and I (in the Jeep) decided to cut cross country on US 12 from Coldwater to Saline, rather than stay on the freeway. It was actually a pleasant drive, through the heart of the Irish hills, and passing many garden centers and antique stores. We had a pleasant drive! in fact, I want to head back out there someday to visit the cactus greenhouse that we saw.
We solved the dilemma of the dog by chaining him to the front of our little barb. We left one of the doors propped open, so he could enter and exit the barn at will. His warm dog bed was in the barn in a dry corner where no rain could penetrate. his water and food dishes were also in the barn.
I did not like that solution, but he is much too elderly and frail to board, we could not leave him in the house, we have no fence for your yard, and he is far too incontinent to take anywhere in a car, or keep in a motel room!
