Good Ole’ I-40
You know you’re in Arkansas when you’re driving along and in the back of a truck are goats. I kid you not, get it kid…like a baby goat…but a truck had two goats hanging out in the back! Crazy! So we left Little Rock Air Force Base early on and headed West on I-40 in search of Oklahoma. We crossed the border and you know you’re in Oklahoma when I-40 starts to get rough and bumpy and you smell cattle trailers (reminds me of the farm). I hear I-40 is even rougher West of Oklahoma City, so we might take a different route to get into New Mexico. However, we are headed for my dad’s farm today. I called him last night and he was cutting wheat, so hopefully the rain will hold off so the boys can ride the combine, which they call Frank the Combine from the movie Cars. It’s going to be a busy time visiting family for the next few days. Both of our families live in Oklahoma and they are within driving distance, so trying to see everyone in such a tight schedule can become difficult at times.
And is Mick, my husband, still sick? Of course. I have no idea what kind of flu bug he has, but it’s seems to be lasting a long time. Thankfully the rest of us are fine and healthy.
