Day 12

Hey, Wendy and babes of mine, a mighty hug and thanks for the pic's. I miss you all so much. however, we are having a more than a wonderful time. After leaving the Buddy Holly museum we continued through Tex. and we saw miles and miles of new to us agricultue. Peanut fields, pecan & cotton pistachios and a variety of animals too. We stopped @ the National Museum of Route 66. Takes me back to the trip we took as little girls with mom and dad, diners with juke boxes and waitresses in pink uniforms. A hoot.
We spent the night in Oklahoma City then visited the Memorial to the Victims of the Gov. building bombing. One is not sad that the bombers are dead and gone forever. There are chairs made of glass & metal to commerate each person lost, the hell of it is the tiny chairs for each child.
Back on the road we drove into Arkansas which is squeeky clean hilly and the people are so nice 7 WE DIG THE ACCENTS. @ dinner tonight we were treated to comlementary dessert just because we were outlanders. So sweet. Headed for Tenn. tomorrow Home of Elvis & T D Martin. I won't be able to sleep.... By the by, All is decorated for Christmas yet the weather seems more like Sept. Feels all cockeyed to us. In closing for the night, I'm glad for the new direction for the USA and feel very in love with my country especially now that I've seen more of it . This state, every co. went for Mc Cain but then this AM's newspaper carried the headline of a woman being killed by the clan as she tried to join up and how there are bound to be more angry Southern fringe types unhappy. Well there are still foolish older Baldknobbers out here but have not seen Dixie flags or any signs of that disdainful stuff. AM A HAPPY SOJOURNER. Love to all Cin/mom/ grandma
