Back home!
We made it home about 3 p.m. yesterday. Drove through snow all the way through Iowa. We stayed overnight in Peru, Illinois, Made it through the Chicago traffic mess easily. Traffic was not bad. Weather was okay. We didn;t see a snow flake until we got off the freeway in Monroe. We walked in the house to find we had had a break-in. The back sliding door had been forced open. They broke the lock and the board we used to doubloe lock it. Then they broke the door into the 4 season porch from the first porch. Okay we got two porches! Anyway they bashed that door to smithereens. The frame work was laying on the floor so we realized something was wrong right away! My dresser drawers were half open just like in the movies. They pretty much took all my jewelry that I was not wearing. So we spent a couple hours with the Police. They took fingerprints and photos. They said they had just arrested a guy a couple days ago, but I am sure some drug dealer is wearing my jewelry right now. I am afraid they will come back. Lenny will be fixing doors. I think I will go buy timers for lights. I just keep getting more upset as time goes on. We probably have not discovered everything that is missing yet. Luckily I had our two laptops with us. The rest of our TV's and electronic stuff is older and not worth much. Today it is 40 and raining. Will all freeze tonight. We went grocery shopping so can hibernate until weather is good again. I am going to put up my snow village, if they didn't steal it all. I will put a photo of whats left later!
