Norman, Oklahoma

We had a grand time in Amarillo, Texas, visiting Rudene and Wales who were our camphosts at Big Meadows this summer. We met them for dinner at Cattle Call and had a great barbeque dinner. We shared with them the map of how Big Meadows will be redesigned. Hopefully they will be able to come back to work with us in years to come.

We normally stop in Oklahoma City to visit some campers who stay with us at Big Meadows for about two months. However, they were all going to be out of town this time when we were coming through. So Wednesday we drove through heavy, laborious fog all day on our way to Norman, Oklahoma. The drive was hard and tired us all out. We came to visit other campers who spent some time with us again in Big Meadows this last summer. We made quick friends with Susie and Dave. Susie and I have a lot in common and she was interested in learning everything about fulltiming. I gave her a book on fulltime rving and she devoured it! We shared a few meals this summer and loads of laughs....they are fun people to be around. So we parked at the Riverwind Casino in Norman and Susie and Dave came by and guided us to BJs, a pizza extravaganza. Great pizza and microbrewery. After dinner Jim and I went back to Susie and Dave's and I helped Susie work on her blog settings.

So here we are today, Thursday, driving up towards Vinita, OK, to eat lunch at at Clanton's Cafe recommended by Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (DDD), foodnetwork tv show that we follow. Clanton's is known for their chicken fried steak - which is a favorite of Jim's and Bill's. I'll let you know later how it was. Vinita is also known for having the largest McDonald's and the largest crossword puzzle....we'll see!

This is pretty neat!!! Jim's driving and I'm sitting here typing along on our blog. We have an "I Go" adapter to plug in the computer to the cigarette lighter and with our Verizon Air Card, I can be on the internet as we drive along.

Hope you like the color changes to the blog. Remember, you are loved!
