In every other town we've stopped in, there's been something to do or someplace to go.
Weatherford, OK appears to be the exception.
I look on Yelp for someplace to go and there really isn't that much to see.
I find a sports bar not too far away and decide to venture there.
Is it weird that there are now sports bars on historic Route 66?
I walk in just in time to see the OKC Thunder tie their playoff series with the Spurs.
I sit at the bar and wait to get served.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
It is almost like they can sense that I'm a Laker fan.
After 15 minutes of waiting, I head out.
I stop by a Walgreens and pick up a Coke Zero and head back to the hotel.
Once back there, I catch up on facebook and twitter and find a really nice note from Claudette on the video of Priscilla.
John, I just watched this video. Amazes me how happy it made me feel just to hear your laughter. I have many people in my life I love and am so happy you have become one of them. Life is certainly strange. I would have never dreamed I would have the chance to spend some time with you after all of these years. Love you.
Amazing.
This week, I've been given the gift of a cup 'o soup insta-family. I sit back and think of everything that happened this week and wonder.
When do I get to come back?
Hello John. You and I haven't met. My name is Thesa Atwood (Roepke). I am a second cousin to your mother. Your grandmother Juanita was my dad's aunt. I live in Santa Maria, CA (not far from where your grandparents lived). I would love to see your mom if you are able to make it through this way on the way home. You can get my contact information through Facebook. Your mom is one of my Friends. Even if we don't get to see her this time, know that you also have family "local." :)Thesa
