Turtles on the Road and on the Ears

Casa Grande, AZ

Why does the time go so quickly when you aren't doing anything?  I haven't blogged since the first day on the road leaving the Montana Owners Club (MOC) Rally.  

We always say we're going to take our time returning to Casa Grande.  This year we returned in record time.  Bill was having some issues with his heart rate and I wanted him to have it checked by his cardiologist since he didn't think he needed to have it checked in Goshen.  It returned to normal before we returned to Casa Grande.

We took the interstates instead of our usual US highways.  I must say you can make many more miles on the interstates.  Our next night was spent in Springfield at a run down for the money KOA.  We did have an excellent dinner at the Cedars.

The following day we drove from Springfield to Texico, OK.  It's one of those days when you're tired and just want to stop.  Every place we stopped at looked terrible.  We finally stopped in Texico which is on the border of Texas and Oklahoma.  There was a restaurant in front boarded up and it looked like an abandoned RV park.  As Bill started to U turn I noticed a motorhome.  I walked into the park and there was a self pay station.  I spoke with the motorhome people and they said they love it there.  We pulled in and I wrote out a check for $14 for the full hook up 50 amp service.  There was another motorhome that pulled in right after us.

We rode over to Shamrock, Texas for dinner and to fuel the truck up. 

I thought Vern would get a kick out of this.

Just like most things along Route 66, cutsy.  







Now, anyone that knows Bill knows he would never hurt a living thing.  











He didn't want to have anyone run over this turtle.


He relocated it to the nice soft grass.  No, I didn't bring it home with us.

The following day we drove to Alamogordo and stayed at Boot Hill and the next day drove to Casa Grande.  There were a lot of time changes in that trip.

We were surprised when my sister, Sherry, and her husband, Dave, ended up parked next to us in Sundance a few hours later.  They came from the  west coast.

Other than an oil change on the truck, hearing doctor appointments, family doctor and dentist appointments there hasn't been much time for anything else.  Two dentist appointments, one haircut, one heart doctor are scheduled for next week.  I did have an eye appointment but it was changed.  

And as Paul Harvey said, "Now for the rest of the story".  Those of you who read the title will now get the rest of the it.

Look at the turtle earrings Bill bought for me.  I love them!

After fighting with the camera we bought in Alaska, we did buy another one and the earring photo was taken with it.

Sounds pretty boring to me.  What do you think?
