Amarillo TX to Tulsa OK

We woke up to another light dusting of snow. It continued to snow for the next 2-3 hours so we put the MPV in 4-wheel-drive and took it slow. Not true for the trucks though. Those big simi's just plow away at 80mph as if the conditions were perfect.

We enjoyed our hashbrowns smothered and covered at the Waffle House. I remember that I once ate there 2 meals a day for 5 days staight. I couldn't afford 3 meals because I was on the road on my first tour with Everybodyduck before Kristi and I were married. Several shows were cancelled so the tour manager put us in a hotel right next to a Waffle House.

We stopped at the Cherokee Trading Post.  Funny thing is they were only interested in trading goods for money. No trading goods for goods here.

Oklahoma is a state with wide open spaces. Nicole's favorite memory from the day was our whole family playing "Name That Tune" with a Kazoo Jesse got from his Aunty A.

Jesse's favorite memory was playing with his Star Wars figures.

I was hoping for a more profound answer, but I'm just reporting what he told me.

We did have a scare on the  road.  A very near accident.  Kristi was driving and as we came into Oklahoma City there was a bunch of traffic.  There was a huge simi on our right, and an onramp with a car flying around the corner on the left.  The simi started coming into our lane, and the car entering the freeway from our left came right at us.  Kristi sped ahead of the simi, hit the brakes and turned the car into the simi's lane, then quickly got back in our lane and put on the gas else the simi would have creamed us from behind at this point.  It was a close call, closer than I can descibe in writing.  We were all very shaken so we pulled over at the next exit to decompress.  We believe God really protected us, and on a human level, I'm just so proud of Kristi for reacting so appropriatly to the series of events.
