This is Barb posting for Bob. Dad's internet service is down right now, he's having air card problems, so I am posting for him.
The picture above is from 9/7/08 when we all got together when Mom and Dad were home. From Left to Right: Becky, Bob, Lois, Barb.
Mom and Dad are still in IL, at the same marina as the last post. The flood waters from Ike have gone down in their area, but are still causing problems downstream. A few locks close to them are open, but farther downstream are still closed. They are staying put until possibly Tuesday next week.
They were going to leave Thursday, didn't get too far and had engine overheating problems. They went back to the marina they'd just left. They've replaced the water pump, cleaned out the water lines, replaced exhaust hose - the exhaust is so hot it melted the hose and it was hanging down closing things up. They are waiting on replacement exhaust hose to fix the problem. Hopefully, when it is all back together, the exhaust hose will be correct and they will be able to leave on Tuesday.
They are doing well, have rented a car for this weekend as they are getting cabin fever. They are enjoying the corn festivals in the area. Today they were in Morris, IL. Tomorrow they will be headed south to explore a little.
They are doing well and are hoping to get going on Tuesday.
