Today's trip was about six hours total, a nice, no-rush trip. We had time to stop and eat lunch at a Pizza Hut--thin crust, half cheese, half supreme. Delicious.
The drive through Texas and Oklahoma was different than the Southwest. Here there was real greenery; one could see the gradual changes in the landscape. We drove through some small towns and plenty of wide, open spaces. The crops were either not planted yet, or just harvested.
There was plenty of hay rolled up in the fields. We came across a pickup truck with one of those rolls in the back.
When we got to Kingfisher, OK, I called Callie and said we were on our way. She left her house and would meet us in Enid at the hotel. We got to Hennessey and saw a billboard for the Prairie Quilt store. Of course, we had to stop. I went there, the family went across the street to the Dollar General store. The quilt store was just super; wall to wall fabric bolts, fat quarters, colors, notions, kits, machines, anything.
Give me a yard of everything. I settled on a half yard of a pretty floral print and four fat quarters. I could have stayed longer, but Callie was waiting.
We got to the hotel, checked in and the called Callie. She knocked on the door about 20 minutes later. It is so nice to put a face to a name. Teresa took a few pictures while we chatted for about 30 minutes. Callie had to go back home to take care of a new kitten and put a quilt on her machine and get it done before 2:00 pm tomorrow. We walked her out to her pickup, took some more photos, then said goodbye. It is really nice to meet friends for the first time, that you have known for over 10 years via the internet.
Monday, we get to do it again with Sandy, Barbie and Jan in Iowa. That will be fun.
