MISSOURI

We made it to MO in one day (a big day) Called MO kids and said we were there but wore out so wouldn't be in till the next day. These big days are hard on us old people. Mike was pretty good for Mike except for a tooth ache. Carol was doing great we think retirement has been good for her. Didn't get a picture of Susan and Joe's gang and when they were all there together forgot it. We stayed a week and they didn't want us to leave, I think it was because Mike didn't get any apple dumplings. We had a great time and needed to go on our way towards home. Well when you stay someplace for 5 months that makes it home too.

This is in Big Cabin OK, a truck stop where we always stopped. Anyhow we stayed thre the first night as we had an appointment to get some recall work done a mile down the road. I finally got a picture of the ole chief walked out there and the batterys went dead on the camera, so got my walk in that morning. His feathers go clear down his back (cement feathers).

Guess this star doesn't need any explanation. We stayed all night in the welcome center, we thought that was appropiate after all they built it for us winter Texans. They have pansys planted all around the star. We do love it in Texas. One more night of dry camping and we will be in Aransa Pass our home. We have our spot open and we can get set up for 5 months. Got the bugs washed off the front end put our shades on the windshield. Went to our old church here and felt right at home.

This load was parked next to us in the welcome center. We couldn't figure out what it was till the next morning. It is one continous piece of gas pipe, there were 3 loads traveling together.

"WHAT A GRAND WORLD THIS WOULD BE IF WE FORGOT OUR TROUBLES AS FAST AS WE FORGET OUR BLESSINGS' wish I would have thought of this.
