Smoky's mom and much of his extended family lives in southern Illinois and just over the river in Missouri. We were lucky enough to find a small trailer park in a town near Smoky's mom where we could rent a spot by the month and thereby have a place for our little home on wheels whenever we needed to be close by.

Tuesday afternoon, after a rather bumpy trip on the interstate between Paducah and Illinois, we arrived at our new lot. Bill, the trailer park's maintenance person, and Grace, his mom, greeted us and helped us get set up on our spot.
We had a great first visit with Smoky's mom in the afternoon, but because a really large storm was brewing, we headed to the grocery store and the local Walmart and then back home to prepare dinner.
The storm was everything predicted, with strong winds, heavy rain, and power outages. Fortunately, our electric power returned very quickly, but even as the evening nears midnight, it is still raining. Tomorrow promises to be a great day.
