Goodbye to Bixby, OK 4-7-09

This is the back of Walt and Cleone's beautiful home outside Bixby, OK. This is the second time that they have hosted us on their "farm".

Walt and Cleone are RVers. Their coach is in the "barn" next to our rig. We are sitting on a pad with full hook-ups that they built so their friends could visit in comfort.

We stopped by cousin Colleen's one last time as we left town. Two other cousins surprised us. That is Tooter (James) and Betty Margaret on the left and Colleen and Ted on the right.

This is Colleen's house. Brent, do you remember visiting Aunt Idella here? She took you into the root cellar.

This MacDonald's is on I-44 north of Tulsa, near Vinita, OK.

Go ahead and laugh, but these trash cans are all over Oklahoma. I think every state should adopt the idea. Well, states with lots of varmits might need lids.

We spent the night of April 7 near Joplin, MO at Carthage. It is where Precious Moments are made and was the scene of 13 Civil War battles. It is now April 8 and we are at Peculiar Place Park in Peculiar, MO, yes, Peculiar. Thank the U.S. Postal Service for that name. Long story. The park roads are named for places on the original Monopoly game and they call the RV dump "Waterworks". The speed limit is 6 1/2 miles per hour. They are living up to their name.
