Well after driving 255 miles yesterday we finely made it to Oklahoma. We were going to leave Canton, TX on Sunday but after our friends came in from Presidio, TX on Saturday we decided to stay 3 more days before leaving for Oklahoma. Our daughter's boyfriend has some property on the out skirts of Norman where he put in an electrical hookup next to his barn. After I got the satellite dishes up this morning we headed into Oklahoma City for a Vietnamese lunch and then a movie with our 7 year old granddaughter. We plan on staying here for at least a week or longer.
Today marked the 12th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing that happened on this day on April 19th, 2005. I remember the day very well because I was just a couple of miles away when it happened.
This weekend we plan on attending the 89're day festivities in Lexington, OK. The 89're day festivities is a reenactment and celebration of the Oklahoma Land Run that started there in Lexington in 1889. The state is also celebrating it's centennial all this month after becoming the 46th state to join the Union in 1907.
