Jeanie, from LNC we went 18 to Monette, turned left on 139 in "downtown" Monette which took us to 412. We stayed on 412 through Kennett and on over to 155 to 51 through Union City/Troy etc and then hit Purchase PWY right before 51 ends for like 2 exits and then got on 94 to Murray.  I live off of 94, so my house is like 10-15 minutes closer than the Holiday Inn where I was staying the last time I drove Murray to LakeCity.  It was a really easy drive and I didn't speed, well not really!!   The boys move in to the dorms on the 13,14 and 15th of August...how about that next weekend for a sisters get together? Pam, will Jim already be in school then too? Pat, you said you start toward the beginning of the month.  You all could come on Friday and stay till Sunday or Saturday or just come for the day, whatever works out for you...I may have a couch and a chair by then too...those get ordered today!!   Ok, I'm off to do errands..lots of errands..trying to get all the finance stuff straightened out in my head!! YIKES!!  Love you all,  Jamie
