JP and I set out on our adventure with my husband, Tom in tow. We were heading to St. Louis for Tom’s interview with Timberline Landscapes and JP insisted on coming along. We had a busy day attending church with Tom’s sister Kacie in Edwardsville, IL and then we headed to Maplewood, MO where Tom’s interview would take place. JP and I sat waiting anxiously in the car. I think that JP was as nervous as I was! When Tom came out, he thought the interview went very well! So we decided to make the trip back to Carbondale, IL! However, JP insisted on making a pit stop on the way.
JP wanted to visit the Perry County Courthouse in Pinckneyville, IL. He told me all about this beautiful church bell that was in front of the courthouse. According to JP, the bell was from the Lost Prairie Lutheran Church, a country church outside of Pinckneyville. However, in 1968 the church was destroyed by a tornado that ripped through the area. The bell was the only thing left of the church and the county decided to place it at the courthouse in memory of the church. Although it was dark outside, JP insisted that we take a picture!
JP, Tom and I had a wonderful time on our journey to St. Louis and back! We learned a lot about Pinckneyville’s history! And…Tom got the job! We are moving to St. Louis next week! JP has traveled 186.8 miles! He has traveled a total of 1633.9 miles.
