Houston

Wow here it is November 1st already! It's hard to believe that this time last week Jonathan and I were in great anticipation about heading SW to Houston and to see Bob and Margaret.




We left Thursday morning around 11:15 am and headed out on another one of our great adventures. It took us about 20 hours driving down, this includes stops along the way and spending the night in Paul's Valley OK. That's a story in and of itself but I'll include it in this story.







Our first stop was in Colby, KS to buy Wizard of Oz souviners. I discovered this little "Oasis on the Prarie" as it's dubbed on my move to Colorado 7 years ago (10/19/00). The service stations there have the most wonderful T-shirts/hats etc depicting the Wizard of Oz. We bought gobs of stuff. Jonathan had to have a T-shirt that had something on it about the Wicked Witch Travel Agency. My favorite was the shot glass that said "Propert of the Wicked Witch"





We traveled on into Oklahoma and through a town called Tankawa. When I had gone through OK almost 7 years ago I spent the night there. I mistakenly called it Towankadonka and that's the name we refer to it now. Of course Jonathan had never been to the magical land of Towankadonka nor seen what the Okies thought of as their mountain range, duely named what else? The Towankadonka Mountain Range.
