Powderly, TX to Tulsa, OK

Last October when we were at Angels Camp for a couple of days, we always saw this man riding his horse every morning.  He’s still riding, rain or shine.100_1985

If the rain slicker on the cowboy above doesn’t give you a clue, maybe the water on the windshield will.  It’s raining.100_1987

Texas has Bluebonnets, Oklahoma has Indian Paint Brushes and little yellow flowers…. lots of little yellow wildflowers. 100_1992

We sure are enjoying seeing all the green grass and trees.100_1996

Now we are getting into the deep hills of eastern Oklahoma.100_2000 100_2002 100_2005

Eastern Oklahoma has not escaped the forest fires. 100_2006

Wonderful, dear, sweet friends, Norm and Lori Post, affectionately nicknamed by me: NoPo and LoPo.  We connected as they are traveling from Arizona to their home in Michigan.  They’re staying the night in Claremore at the KOA, so we drove out, we went to dinner in Claremore at the Rib Crib, drove back their 5er, played a couple of hands of the “stupid game,” and laughed and laughed and had a wonderful time.100_2017

Oh how I love this kid.  A sweeter spirit you will not find.100_2020

It’s been such a blessed day.  Safe travels and seeing friends once again.  We have so much to be thankful for.

Nothing like the "stupid game" for some laughs, gives you time to talk etc...

What a wonderful and blessed time we shared with you. I am still laughing about our double duty toilet. Looking forward to when our paths will cross again. Love you.

LoPo, I just don't know how to tell that story and do it justice. The funniest part was NoPo saying,"It doubles as our shower," in his matter-of-fact sort of way. After the toilet had sprayed out on the floor for me because of the air in the line, it just struck me so funny and then NoPo got tickled ... situational, but worth a really good dose of laughter. I still laugh, too!

NoPo and I are laughing at your comments about our second shower, who would have thought, a 5th Wheel with 2 showers :>), brings tears (of laughter) to our eyes.
