Thursday, 1/16/20....left at 5 a.m. for Owosso to pick Julie and Phil up to go to Iowa

I got up at 3 a.m. and Bill got up at 4.  Showered and got ready. Packed last minute stuff and then left at 5  to go to Owosso and pick up Julie and Phil.  We got to their house at 6 a.m.  We helped them put their stuff in the back and then left.  It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and clear roads.  It was 31 degrees when we left Michigan.  It kept getting colder the closer we got to Iowa, and was 7 degrees when we got there at 1:40 p.m.  We had visiting as we rode and got to know each other better.  They are a very nice couple.  We ate at Culver’s at noon.  We saw two smashed semis flipped over along M-80 and one car.  I found out later from someone that there was a heavy frost and a lot of slick spots on the road.  We rested for a while when we got to our room.  Went down later for fellowship and snacks, then out for pizza.  After that we went to church for our leadership meeting.  It was very good and encouraging.  We shopped at the goodies store and got some new CMA shirts that just came out.  Came back and relaxed for a while and then went to bed.
