susandennisWhen I was little, my entire extended family lived in a 4 block area in the NW section of Oklahoma City. We never lived in Oklahoma but visited often. My maternal and paternal grandparents and my parents' only sibling - all packed in there together.
My brother is on this road trip and keeps posting his progress. So fun to follow. Last night I realized they were going smack through Oklahoma City.
When I emptied out my storage facility, a couple of weeks ago, I found my grandfather's old smith corona typewriter. I didn't keep the typewriter (it was a total mold fest) but I did keep the luggage ID tag so I looked up his address in Google maps. The house looks just exactly like it did the l saw it 40 years ago. It has a for sale sign on it but the photo was taken in 2007 and apparently it is no longer on the market. It would have been fun to see inside pictures.
They are way passed OKC now and have Des Moines in sight - well they will in 90 miles anyway. I hope they are having a great trip. Quality bonding time can happen so nicely and easily on a road trip. Oh and the favorite dog didn't get to go. I'll bet he's four legs and a tail of disappointment.
It's getting hot here. Not hot like the rest of the country but, for us, hot and for me, horrible. So far, without my little AC, inside here has been hovering over 80 which is way past my comfort zone. So my carbon footprint is huge as I keep the little miracle of cold going. It's getting some age on it but it still keeps me cool enough to sleep at night and comfortable during the day. Thank you, AC.
I have a couple of errands to do today and maybe some swimming but otherwise, I'll be happily here in the cool of my house!
