ReplyDeleteI always love to see the animal pictures. Am sure you saw some cute dogs.
ReplyDeleteWill be following and re-reading of your trip, I too have lots of relatives in OK and TX. Riggs and Armstrong would be the last names. How fun for you and your family to have a long road trip, especially in this heat we are having. I am up the road a bit in KS. Thanks for following my blog! Glenda
