) just over into Oklahoma around 11PM. Spent the night at a rest area (yeah, I know that ain't the ideal thing but a 700 mile day is like 3 days for me 
) & got rolling again this morning around 7:15. Got a call from the D.I.L. when we were nearing the Oklahoma/Arkansas border than she'd rear ended another vehicle while driving Lenora's car so we opted to drive on home rather than spend another night on the road. Had a great trip & enjoyed the gathering immensely. I'll post a group pic here along with a link to some more pix. Glad everyone made it home safely. I'm gonna rest for a day or three after that drive

I think it was a sign of things to come. We then went up to Bishops Castle up by Pueblo CO. Gary and I had visited that place about 8 years ago and were curious how much progress had been made. If you ever get to visit the place, it is amazing. Then we headed home. Friday morning got hit by blast front winds and 3 inches of rain ... made a mess of our garden and branches all over the yard. Gary spent the day cutting up trees at his sons in Richmond which got hit a lot worse. We have an earth contact house and went to go down in the mini-basement last night and some of the sheetrock and insulation had fallen down during the winds, I guess, so we have a nice unexpected weekend project.
