Friday, 10/20/23, Left hotel at 8, Spent the night at Angie and Rays

Our morning ride was beautiful 

When we got close to a town we saw a hot air balloon

Another one going up

Bill did a great job washing the windshield when we got in Kansas

Lucy is so cute

Vikki, Isaac, Peyton and Rody at a new restaurant back home

Crossed into Oklahoma at 8:23.  Such a beautiful drive with some nice color. No phone signal for a long ways.  It said SOS where the signal usually is.  I will have to read up on what that means for a phone.

We finally got to a town and I called Vikki.

Last night they went to conferences  for the kids.  The teacher was so positive and said such great things about both kids.  Then she told Vikki when the teachers got together and she mentioned Peyton, all the teachers said, we love Peyton.  This teacher said it a few times to Vikki too.  Peyton always shows kindness to everyone and it always gets noticed by her teachers.  They both got excellent grades too.

Bill drove for two hours, then I drove for 3 1/2 hours.  Of course he got all the beautiful country roads and I got the expressway that took us right through Tulsa.  At least it wasn’t at rush hour.  After that there wasn’t much traffic at all.  

We stopped at a McDonald’s in Kansas so we could get a frappe and free fries with our apps.  Dad couldn’t get his app to work.  He had just got it. He ended up paying for his fries.  Then it finally started working while we ate so he asked me to get him an ice cream because it showed in his rewards. Bi went up and the girl showed me it wasn’t highlighted so hadn’t been earned.  I thanked her for her help and went and sat back down.  A couple of minutes later, the girl came and gave me a free ice cream anyway. So sweet of her. Dad was so happy too cuz I gave it to him.

We got to Russell at 4:30.  Stopped to get the truck washed, then went to Angie’s.   They took b Visited than ate a delicious meal Angie made.  We had meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, corn and fresh fruit.  We were all too full to eat homemade apple pie.
