On Tuesday morning we decided to take a drive. We left Grand Rivers and drove toward Cairo, Illinois. We crossed the Ohio River into Illinois then crossed the Upper Mississippi River into Missouri. From the bridges we could see all three rivers, the Upper, the Lower and the Ohio. It's been almost 40 years since I've seen all three rivers at the same time. We continued driving north to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. (hometown to Rush Limbaugh). From Cape Girardeau we recrossed the river back into Illinois then headed south back to Metropolis, Illinois where we crossed the Ohio into Paducah, Kentucky. During the drive we passed field upon field of corn which reminded Morele of family trips to Chicago where her grandfather would remark in French, "Regardez les mais ". In Metropolis we stopped at the Harrah's Casino
