10/1 (SAT) DALLAS to TULSA  (PEORIA INN-$58 )  Left Nancy’s @ 9-after family, animal pictures. Easy drive to Tulsa-had reservations but canceled-would have to bike 4 m in traffic to meet Jean tomorrow. Passed Peoria Inn-looked like our kind of place-unloaded bikes-went to eat. Corner Cafe was priceless & cheap-had $8 steak, potatoes, salad w/free pie. Am back on sweet tea-which I gave up on cruise. Our 85 yr old toothless waitress has been here since rt 66-made our meal memorable-deserved her $10 tip. Martha drove away-arrived  at casino @ 8:30-traffic was terrible because of wreck. We went for walk-Armand watching football- I try to remember how to write blog-some thimgs never chamge. Jean’ s car rental return is almost next door.  Looking forward to another adventure.

TROUBLE ☺ & SIMBA 😃

Tiger, SPARKY II, Harry Toad (2002), WILSON, Snickers  some are very upset to be replaced

Saying good-bye to Nancy & Sugar

9/30 (SAT) AUSTIN to DALLAS-Going to baby shower for BRI (Nancy’s d-in-law) Very nice. Spend night eating & playing w/her animals-rescue dog Sugar & 2 cats. Armand went to bed early.

AUSTIN  (FRI-9/29) Sister Martha (San Antonio) is driving us to Tulsa to start our adventure.  Start day clean house- Martha arrived-went bowling-my main training activity-usually bowl 10 games on Thurs-then golf.  Ate-then came home-mowed, weed eat yard-watch tv until 12:00-still can’t sleep.  Not sure about biking-but since Mary Ruth brought cookie need to go.

AUGUST 12-25 (VANCOUVER to ANCHORAGE) Went on cruise by chance encounter w/Janice @ tennis court. She was retiring-asked price-Armand signed up next day. Sister Martha & Jim singed up too.  Enjoyed cruise, ate too much-droppred new camera in toilet. CAMERA spent rest of trip in rice bag. Camera is now ready for bike trip. Did not have my animals either to make my pictures FUN.
