what poison ivy did to me :(
my legs…
my feet….
ouch!
Cat loose!
We made it out of Nebraska alive. Iowa was another story though. First we stopped at a podunk gas station on the west side of Iowa and go figure, kitty escapes from the car! Yep, I tried to catch him and learned that chasing a cat is totally futile… He found his way into a shallow swamp next to the gas station–swamps in Iowa smell BAD. Then we lost him. I thought he was stuck in the mud under the surface of the water, so I stepped into the swamp and started digging around. Then, surprise! he appeared on the bank at the other side of the swamp. So, we got him back into the car, but I lost my flip-flops in the mud and we smelled like stinky wet swamp for the rest of the day.
