In 2015 I got to go back to Des Moines and this time my mother came with me, or I should say she drove us there! :-) 😆 we got lost and had to have hope's 🤣 grandmother come and get us at the laundromat and take us back to her house and then we went over to Hope's home with my nephews and got to meet my great-niece who at the time was only 3 months old and look just like me when I was a baby totally adorable

I have gone to Des Moines IA and 2014 and 2015 to visit my half sister I found on Facebook we have the same father different mothers, and I got to go visit her family in 2014 on my own on a greyhound, when I saw the downtown area from the highway it is so much bigger than Dayton Ohio I got to ride around with their grandmother ( their mother's step-mother) and I got to go through the downtown area and the suburbs beautiful city. She accidentally drove to a private area with horses, she took me to a downtown museum that was free so much better than Dayton Ohio's museums I got to see where they filmed Field of dreams, ☺️and John Wayne's vest, from one of his movies.

I am from that area. That is where I learned to drive on the McVicar Frwy and scoop the loop. The restaurants are good. When I visit the GDM area, I must watch my speed. ALAN
