Saturday

We had a good night's sleep at Kathie's house. Thank you Kathie, and sorry about such a lovely picture so early in the morning!  :)

You know you have been traveling too long when you wake up to the song "On the Road Again" running through your head.

We drove from Missouri to Kansas to Oklahoma today.

We didn't get this sign last time! Someone is obsessed with her photo documentation.

For lunch, we had some hush puppies. Sorry Kathie, but we had to tell the girls the story about you and the "little doggies." :) Love ya, Kath!!!

Why did we go to Bartlesville? In this tiny town a million years ago, I was born! I haven't been back since my parents moved away before I was two. So this trip was long overdue!

The thriving metropolis of Bartlesville.

This was my parent's home, and consequently, my first home. Mama says that she paid less for this cute house than for her current van!!

Mama has told me many times that when she was pregnant with me she would walk down the street (the town ended about here) and pet the livestock. Well, Mama, the city hasn't grown in this direction - there are a couple of houses beyond yours and that's it. We did notice some newer construction in town, but not in this direction.

We also went to Woolaroc (www.woolaroc.org) while we were in Bartlesville. We saw many animals, the museum, the gift shop, the observation tower, the children's playground, and the petting zoo. I'm putting them in a slide show since there are so many.
