Yeah, it's been a while.

I've been to Oklahoma and Texas in the past few weeks on another road trip, gaining another state for my map. OK was OK by me in OK City. We went to the bombing memorial and museum



On to Dallas for JFK memorial, the "grassy knoll'' and the 6th Floor window view.




George W Bush Presidential Library



Waco Texas, not just for Magnolia Farms 



 a boat tour on the Brazos River.


Dr Pepper Museum, 


                An oil rig in Galveston TX


Duck boat ride



and the view from our room!


Another good time was had by all!

    What a great choice for your OK site. I still remember right where I was when the radio was covering the OK City bombing. I have a cousin whose hubby worked down the block from there and was knocked off his seat as the windows blew out. Seems like one always knows someone who was in the neighborhood of the disaster de jour... a different cousin was in London when the subway bombing happened... and there are a whole slew of you folks that I got to know because of hurricanes or 9/11, or any number of "bad things that happen that need to be talked over in the larger Interwebs". Back when we didn't line up along fault lines in society, if I remember, but worried more about the individuals to whom this all happened. But boy, I have veered off course here!

    Great Texas sites, too.

    Onward while I go check out the other blog in this "two-fer"!

    Great photos as always! (although I would recommend taking your triple overpass photo from the grassy median, doesn't show the debris at the curb ;-) Seriously, I found the Sixth Floor Museum fascinating as my dad was a big Warren Commission booster

 Things continue to improve in the house of OJ. My DH feels a better, although he can't explain how. He has a bit of pep, doesn't feel blah, and is interested in doing things. It's amazing how you improve when your heart gets it's own circulation going! This week is a light flurry of activity as we are going on one of our wandering vacations next week, doctor approved. Flying to the mid-west with our ever-present siblings, we will be hitting 5 states in a road trip to add to our respective maps. Once this trip is done, I've got 8 states to go, then I've done something in all 50 states! Our pinky-sworn requirement is that we've got to do something touristy in each state. I started this attempt by insisting on National or State parks, but sometimes they weren't accessible to our trip. I settled on something less lofty but interesting in each state. This trip we'll pass through a small park in Illinois to a Native American burial mound, one of many I...

 Things are looking up. Over 12 feet to be exact!  The biggest one is yellow and it's got about 6 flowers at the top. More pictures will follow as time goes by. The second tallest flowering plant is the dark reds and orange sunflower. I haven't taken a single picture that doesn't have bees. I'm very happy. Unfortunately after a week of rain and wind, the orange sunflower has leaned out over the fencing and I can now touch the flowers.  Speaking of rain, when it rains, it pours, or in this case, doesn't flow at all! We needed a sewer line replacement. DH is the job supervisor in black! The guys did a great job and were done in 5 hours. This is what was left.  The other casualty was my roses. Here they are in 2012. This guy turns 14 next month! Finally, another bit of plumbing was unclogged on Wednesday. My honey had a stent put into his heart in the "widow-maker" artery. He feels fine, but no different which may be a good thing. He's got a lot of new me...

 I've been absent for no other reasons than life happens. There seems to be so much to do when retired. My DH has had some other medical issues to deal with, and delt, they have been. Me, too. Nothing worthy of documentation, yet keeping us busy. I didn't post more about our vacation to the mid-west. I might pull out a photo or two before I sign off today. Last weekend we took a quick jaunt to the last of the East Coast states we hadn't visited, so Rhode Island is now off the table! We've nine states to go.  Custer State Park always delivers bison. You might recognize the guys in the background. A look into Badlands, Including my favorite big horn sheep. Outside of the Corn Palace. And finally, the Big Spoon with Cherry in Minneapolis.
