Day 36 Wednesday 10-14-15 Amarillo to Oklahoma City.

Today is a travel day from Amarillo to Oklahoma City where we will visit with family tonight. 

Of course we all know everything is bigger in Texas.  We saw this cross along I-40 at “The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Ministries” in Groom, TX.

  
 
 
 
 
 

 

We have never been to Italy to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa…But we saw the Leaning Tank of Britten.

We got a room in Yukon, OK then headed south to Bridge Creek to visit with family.  I have an aunt, Ruthann, that is only a year older than I. We could find all kinds of trouble to get into as kids.  About the time my dad was ready to skin us alive my grandmother would say "It's okay...Their just having fun".  Ruthann is kind of responsible for Linda and I getting together when we were in our teens.  Ruthann and her husband Jay, and Linda and I ,would double date.  Anyway, Ruthann and Jay's one son Keith now lives in Oklahoma with his family, Stephanie and Ty.  It just worked out that they were visiting as we were passing through.

We had a great evening visiting together and our first home cooked meal since September 8th.  Yumm! 

Linda was fascinated by the storm cellar which came in handy when a tornado hit earlier this year.  The house received quite a bit of damage but Stephanie and Ty road it out safely down in the cellar.

After catching up with lots of stories and hugs for everybody we went back to the room for a good night's sleep.
