Mom and I talked extensively at breakfast. Her natural tendency to talk is taking over. She is speaking a lot, and it really won’t be long before here voice normalizes. We decided that today would be a good time for me to go to the Train Museum. It was a really hot day, and I remembered a trip there with Uncle Charlie.

But first, I went to see the sights in Kirkwood. However, no trip would be complete without touching base with Grandpa and Grandma Speckert's grave. First tree past the stone wall.
