Today I completed my journey back to Ct via NJ. Not good news today from the homefront. While away vacationing in Ireland, my dear Grandma Burdick passed away from mostly natural causes. She was in her nineties and a huge influence and presence here in Stonington, CT. More on her at a later date. Keep us in your prayers. Thank you.

Animals seen: A flock of nearly 50 Whooping Cranes!! This is big for me, to see these huge endangered birds in their natural habitat. :)

Meaningful Thought: Iowa is NOT flat, and is quite beautiful.
