I’m writing this from my sidekick; we’ll see how it turns out, lol. I am at miss lucy’s house, in her son’s room (the children have been banished to the couches). It’s after 11 pm ct and although we’re leaving at 6 am, I can’t get my ass to bed. Le sigh. Lucy has two VERY talkative yet adorable kids; her daughter is a total mini-me. Mr Lucy grilled some delish burgers then spent the night trying to calm their dog, who wanted to eat Chloe and Josie.

I have fully recovered from Sunday’s nasty illness, thank God. We have been through NV, AZ, NM, TX, OK and now MO. I took lots of pics of mountains; I’ll post some when I get home. A lot of the scenery just looks like what I’m used to.

Miss Sodapop was happy to see her first deer … until she later saw her first dead deer on the side of the road. There have been a few other novel “firsts” although I can’t remember now. The trip highlight is a toss-up between tha black mold infested Best Western in Tulsa or the discovery of the Kum ‘n Go chain of convenience stores LOL. You can’t make this shit up.
