An hour west of St Louis, Missouri.
They will help clean out the basement.
We have been here 6 years, it will not take long.
Finished up contract Friday and don't know where I will be working next.
House has to be made ready for sale.
Will have a large assortment of the local sausages and beer, not AB.
Tell them to watch out for freezing rain, sit tight somewhere warm.
No one can drive on wet ice. Better to delay or skip trip than wreck.
