Road Trip to Missouri

We get all loaded into Rick and Wendy's truck and Don prays for our safety and "Lord, may we all still be great friends when we get back home! Amen!" 

And we're off!!

This is Lake Hefner in north Oklahoma City.  See the parasail?Lake HefnerWe had a nice drive to Missouri, stopping in Vinita at the Clayton Cafe for lunch.  On down I-44 a few miles, we stopped for dessert.100_1187We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.  On the way, I took over a dozen pictures of giant U.S. flags.  100_1186We made it to the Lake of the Ozarks!  Wendy has her camera aimed and ready.100_1197 Ah, there's a nice view.100_1199Bruce greets us in the parking lot of their condo.100_1202The view from Bruce and DeAnn's deck, with flags even!100_1206When we arrived, DeAnn was gone to the grocery store (yeah!! groceries are good!)  When she arrives, hugs all around.  It is good to see our wonderful friends, the Hoover's.  If you remember, they were our awesome activity directors at Quail Run two years ago.100_1207I love this picture of Bruce and DeAnn at the restaurant where we had dinner.  100_1208Our traveling buddies, Rick and Wendy.100_1209We asked our waitress, Laura, to take our picture.100_1210 Saturday morning at the condo, I loved taking pictures from the deck.  Sunrise over the Lake of the Ozarks.100_1216100_1220 100_1217A rainstorm in the distance.100_1221100_1222We fed these ducks, and more, from the deck.100_1224100_1234100_1227It is so peaceful here.
