65 degrees here near Perkins, Oklahoma at 7:10 pm Sunday. Was 73 degrees here when we arrived at Bixley Lake RV about 4:50 pm -- different from the 55 degrees this morning when we left the Neher's near Hiawatha, KS - some 345 miles ago.
Our route for this trip. Was 89 miles to Neher's (1) last night; 345 miles to near Perkins, OK (2) tonight. 67 miles to a stop at Rev. & Mrs. Bakers in Yukon, OK (3) tomorrow morning; then another 233 miles to Core of Engineer's Park (4) southwest of Fort Worth, TX tomorrow and will stay Tuesday night, also. Wednesday 231 miles to Coushatte Recreation Ranch, Bellville, Texas (5)where we will attend Pickin'nGrinnin Bluegrass Festival Thursday through Saturday. Sunday 328 miles to our home in Kenwood RV Park (flag).La Feria, Texas.
Yesterday morning, after we had everything packed in the pickup and trailer and the house all closed up, we walked across the street to the cafeteria in the hospital for breakfast. Then, headed out about 9 am and were at Neher's about 11:20 am.
After eating lunch we loaded up, in Neher's wheel chair van with a ramp so he can drive right in with his electric chair, and drove around Hiawatha seeing some sites, and some of the trees turning their fall colors.
They had one tree still loaded with a lot of big, good apples. I picked some for us to take with us and some to leave with LaRhoada, even though she has lots already frozen lots of sliced apples and apple sauce. She offered the apples, on the tree, to a lot of people, but had no takers.
Of course, we played lots of Pegs & Jokers game after dinner and after supper.
Some of playing Pegs & Jokers is skill of the game, but a lot depends on the cards drawn.
Harold uses the electric Giddy-Up-Go all the time.
You can't beat LaRhoada's cooking and the three meals at their place lived up to expectations.
Drove in a lot of wind today. Had side-wind from the south-east for several hours, then a sort-of tail wind. Was a difference of 2 MPG between the two different times.
Since it was warm and sunny, with the back of the pickup to the west, the flowers got a few hours of sunshine on them before dark.
Have telephoned Rev Baker and are to meet them between 9 and 10 in the morning.
Over and out, for now -- Lynn
