Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 03, 2013

First vacation we ever had from our kids for a weekend, we went to themed hotel, like the Madonna Inn (google it), and stayed in the 50’s room, where the bed was half of a old car in front of a projector screen (like a drive in) … and slept soundly for the first 10 hours straight …

No mas!

The first time I EVER spent more than $4.00 per gallon of gasoline was in Peoria. Grrrrrrr

Looks like Luci is fine without her mom (which is usually the way it works). The part that I find funny is the “old-fashioned” phone cord. Haven’t seen one of those in a while!

I hope the emergency landing isn’t for long. It’s cutting into their Paris time.

Well, they’re only 2 /12 hours from Paris, Illinois. I say, make the best of it.

Fancy ring-a-dings, they called them in the 1970s. AT&T actually sold phones that resembled them, even if they had a rotary dial on the base. This was the decade before PCs et cetera, and the only video game out was Space Invaders. (Maybe Pong and Berserk too, but that was so long ago.)

…….. and the video games then were the size of pinball machines.

That’s Evie – making hay while the sun shines.

Want Joan excited to visit Peoria when they lied that was the trip. Heck being there might help her nervers. Instead if being in another country on a different contenent. They are just in anither state

Don’t make it worse Evie.

I dunno…I don’t think Peoria is really being made fun of…it just that it has a great name.
