Karen and I just got back from Enid... we had fun, but it's good to be home. Very uneventful trip, except when Karen hit a large piece of truck tire somewhere north of Wichita...

We stopped at the Conestoga Cafe at I-35 and US60... it's long been one of my favorite places to eat. A 24-hour place, not too big... a truck stop, really. JD and I stopped there and ate the day that I had my second coronary in Enid... I had an omelet that day, I remember.

Blueberry pancakes today, though, and Karen had the plain ones. And only one refill on the coffee, so the waitress only got a one-dollar tip.

Back on the road... we'd kinda been planning on stopping and seeing Karen's mom again, but we didn't... it was lunch-time for them when we went through Wichita. And Karen was anxious see Lacee, of course.

We got home and Karen called Kim's, but they weren't home, so she called Kim on her new cell phone. The kids were here within ten minutes. I got a big hug from Patrick, but Lacee totally ignored me in favor of Grandma Karen. I pointed this out to her about a half-hour later, but no points are given after the infraction is pointed out to the transgressor... but Lacee did a good job of trying to make it up to me.

Something that I was thinking on the road up here with Karen:
The destination doesn't matter.
The journey doesn't matter.
The scenery along the way doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is your traveling companions.

And now I think that it's nap time.

Later...


So I thought that I'd include the entries from the 17th through the 20th on this page, so you won't have to look up the back entries.


Thanx for being here!
