Our stay in Arlington was great as we were once again able to renew some old acquaintances while being fed by some pretty great cooks! We will be back in spite of a couple of people sharing the flu (11 of 15 people got sick)... sigh.
On the 13th we headed to our good friends Phil, Kathleen and Leslie Hunter in van Alstyne TX where we spent a couple days in their driveway. In spite of them having 4 cats, I was able to spend a significant time indoors with them playing games and eating... yes Kathleen is another one of those great cooks! Phil also does a mean job of cleaning up the dishes - ha.
Monday morning arrived and we had to head north so we could make it back in time for Sydney's birthday but first we had to find some good friends, Tom & Kathy Marlatt, in Sulphur OK. The GPS is great as we were able to find them and they had lots of room on their front lawn for our rig... see picture below.
We also enjoyed some great BBQ at Smokey Joe's and then went back to Marlatt's where we played Mexican Train and some other game called BO BO or something like that... it is not a favorite of mine but Arda sure enjoyed playing this with her sister Yvonne when we were in Holland this fall. After a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, we headed north once again.
This time it was direct to GR with over-night stays at Wally-Mart... Who says the scenery isn't beautiful as Arda took this picture of a sunset in Marshfield MO.
As we traveled north, we had beautiful, sunny weather so the drive went quickly with us arriving back in GR 101 days, 9482.5 miles and 901.0 gallons of diesel fuel. I didn't count the number of boxes of wine Arda drank but it was more than 1...yuk, yuk.
Well this is the end of this Tally... we head south to TX & AZ in Jan and I may start this again but we will see. I'll post it on FB if I do. In the meantime,
Keep your loops open!
