on the road again

McFarland, WI, 9.19.05-- warm, windy, thunder and lightining last night. I'm on the road again this morning. This is where Trina lives. I've been here since last Monday, eating cheese and seeing the countryside. So much corn, so many farms, and a lot of antique shops. Take a look at the photos.
We went to a Cubs game at Wrigley field Saturday. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost to the Cardinals. Lots of red in the stands. It sounded like there were more Cardinal fans that Cubby fans. Of course, I went overboard at the souvenir shop.
On my way here from South Dakota I visited with Linda and Sarah. Friends from Terra Madre in October. Linda lives on Standing Rock reservation and Sarah is at White Earth in Minnesota. At Sarah's they had just started the rice harvest and I unexpectedly took part in the canoe races. It was fun (after we finished the race). While there we husked corn, canned tomatoes and Sarah canned some salsa. It was great. Angel got in a fight with Sarah's dog, Koya, over food of course. I suppose every road trip needs a little drama every once in a while. She's okay and eating as much as ever.
As I write this Angel is waiting patiently for me to finish so we can get going. Mom's friend, Sandy has inivited me to visit her in Indianapolis (!!!yay). Then I'm off, finally, to Roswell Georgia, where I will harrass people until they get tired of me and send me back to California.
