Oklahoma to Texas

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

Five years ago today… the happy couple.

The groom with Mama Trudy during the reception.

Honeymoon on South Padre Island.

Just a little glimpse back to the beginning of the marriage and ministry that God brought together.  Thank you, Hon, for making me feel like we are still on our honeymoon.  I love you.

So today, the happy couple is on the road again. 

We got on the road about 8:30 this morning and were blessed with blue skies and not a lot of wind.  Soon we were going through the rolling hills of south Oklahoma.

Being hungry, we decided to stop at the Flying J and have breakfast, but low and behold, the restaurant was closed.  So….

we went across the interstate to the IHOP.

IHOP parking wasn’t RV friendly, but we parked on the shoulder behind an 18 wheeler.

I just passed the time taking pictures of the countryside.

For as long as Don or I can remember, some part of I-35 has been under construction.

There are a lot of horse farms and ranches in Oklahoma.

Approaching the border and the Red River.

That’s the most water that’s been in the Red River in a long time.

Back in the Lone Star state.

Just part of Texas’ “drive friendly” motto being encouraged in a big way.

Past the outlet mall in Gainesville, we exited the interstate and took Texas 51.

Just a nice scene.

That’s an odd architectural style for a Comfort Inn in Texas.  Things that make you go hmmmm.

We have a top latch on a bay door that keeps coming unlatched, so Don stopped to re-latch it.  I took a picture of these Evening Primrose wildflowers while we were stopped.

Cattle farm.  I like it.

There was a brand new school behind this building so it’s my guess that this is an old school building.  I like that it has been kept in good repair.

I love the old church buildings, especially when they are still being used for community worship.

Love this ranch house.

From this point, we could see for miles.

Today is the World Day of Prayer and there is much that needs prayer in our world, but looking at this scene one would think that all is right with the world.

Goodness.  Let’s just go out here in the country and build a castle.

Approaching Decatur, Texas.

The courthouse in Decatur.

The soil here in this part of north Texas is really sandy.

The white fences give such a neat look to the farms.

Part Two will be posted in the next post.  I haven’t had much to take pictures of all winter, so I am really enjoying taking pictures today.
