For those without FB:
A VERY SAD DAY.
I drove home to the farm this weekend to get furniture and stuff of mom's that she needs to move into an assisted living apartment next week. She's excited about it. And we were going to star setting it up today when I got back. I left the farm early and make good time not stopping until ii got to the state line.
Somehow a blue tub that was strapped on came loose and blew out.
It contained the quilts she had made for grand kids weddings and 1st babies.
I turned around and drove back to hays and met my sister in law who traced my route from the farm. No luck.
So please pass this along to your friends. If anyone was on I 70 on sunday June and 22nd and picked up some quilts from the highway please contact me.
Follow up: someone contacted him that they spotted a blue case and did not stop.
Through Facebook, a very wonderful woman, who is a stranger to me, saw the post and replied. She and her husband were leaving Russell, KS yesterday afternoon, and noticed the tub, STILL INTACT and duct taped shut, at the bottom of the I 70 roadside on the north side of the westbound lane, about a mile or two West of Russell. The husband thought it might have been nearer the next exit west of Russell. We had driven past that area looking but it is easy to miss something when you are driving with no one riding shotgun.
Is there anyone near or in Russell that would be willing to go and look along that area to see if they can find the quilts? I am willing to pay for your time and gas to do so.
