Last Saturday Nova and I drove to Edmond Oklahoma for our
"Girls Birthday Luncheon"
Most of us have birthdays in December and January and this gives us reason to celebrate
This is our third(?) time?
We met at Inspirations Tea House in Edmond
It was a fun day with the "Girls"!
Such a nice day we drove to the Salt Plains in Oklahoma today
Think it reached 70 degrees
We had a pleasant surprise when we got there we heard sandhill cranes
We could hear them and finally saw some in the air they must be just passing
thru because we didnt' see any on the ground
Sure seems early for them....maybe spring isn't to far away afterall
We left on Monday and went to the Branson Missouri area.
Afraid we missed the bright colors in the trees but it was still pretty
Our regular campground just outside Forsyth had closed early to repave the campground so we
stayed in the Shadow Rock campground just across the river.
Our first night a rogue storm passed thru....it wasn't in the forecast and it came and went so quick
we didn't even have time to take cover. It turned out to be alot of wind and rain for only a few minutes.
We had some small branches bounce off camper and jeep but no damage.
The campsite just north of us had a tree blow down...thankfully no one was camped in that row
We drove all the backroads in and around the Mark Twain National Forest
and even found some roads we don't think we've been down before
Weather was great !
Our last nite there it got down to 27 degrees....brrrrrrr thank goodness for electric blanket!
We took our "NEWEST GOONY" to Missouri for a few days.
Had a great time...weather was "iffy" a couple of days but then perfect a couple of days.
We also drove thru a wind/rain storm coming home right on the Kansas/Missouri line.

We both had Cabin Fever Today so we decided to go for a drive.
They said the sun would come out mid morning so we too them at their word
SHOULDN"T HAVE
The fog never cleared couldnt' see much but we still had a nice drive
We went east and over to Latham and Beaumont.
2 deer jumped out of the fog and trees and we saw an eagle but didn't get pics of either.
I did get a far away picture of a bunch of turkeys and a neat old house.
Decided to drive back over to Yoder to my little shop again
The weather was cold and foggy and the fog made everything white with frost
Then when the wind blew it looked like it was snowing
It was Beautiful
We saw an armadillo on a back country road and a coyote but he was too fast for me
