We Are In Colby, Kansas

Yes, we finally got out of Louisiana. We traveled to Texarkana, TX, and spent the night at a KOA that had a swing that matched my outfit! Then we continued on through Reno and ended up in Wichita Falls, for the night.  In Wichita Falls I met an amazing elephant and Smokey the Bear.  We continued, on Friday to Dumas, TX, where we spent the night, and what a night!  I woke up at 12:30 in the morning and the wind was shaking our RV.  K slept through the worst part. Finally, the wind died down and there was just lightening and bit of light rain. 

 

On Saturday, we drove on across the Oklahoma border and through the panhandle, to Scott City, Kansas, where we made a 'jerky stop'.

  

We made it to Colby, Kansas in time to make it to the quilt shop before closing time!  

Yeah! Check out all these fabrics!  They had seasonal stuff at a discount and K bought the jewel-tone fabrics C picked out to make a new quilt for Leilani.  It is going to be awesome!

We stayed over on Sunday, so C could show K the ancestral stomping ground of the high plains and Gem, Kansas.  She also took K to the Prairie Museum, where the biggest barn in Kansas is located.  They took the tour.

Oh, yeah.  Saturday night we had a wind storm in Colby that was rocking the RV from 2:30 to 3:15 AM, and it was accompanied by amazingly bright lightening and loud thunder.  We all three got into the same bed until it was over.  We are rather expecting more wind tonight.  The wind really messed up my hair today.  We are heading out tomorrow for Pine Bluff, Wyoming.  I think we will eventually make it back to Idaho.
