Day 71 of #BoxsterRoadTrip has us traveling from Bossier City, Louisiana to Colleyville, Texas by way of Oklahoma!
We decided to alter our driving plans today to include Oklahoma. This was certainly the long way to Colleyville (near Dallas and Fort Worth), but we had the time, so why not? We took an interstate north out of Bossier City and felt like we had entered another dimension. Yes, folks, that photo on the left is an Interstate and we are just about the only car on the road. Where is everyone? It was a little bit spooky. But the 75 MPH speed limit helped us to overcome our trepidation and we flew north toward Oklahoma (our 42nd state).
After leaving Oklahoma, we went on a quest to find a Starbuck’s (for Jo) and finally found one in Sherman Texas. Texas, our 43rd state! Yeah!
Then it was on to Richardson, TX to visit Jo’s high school friend, Barbara. But before that stop, we had to drive by Jo’s old home at 1904 Vassar Drive in Richardson. We took a few photos for old times sake.
Dinner with Barb and Rick was wonderful. It was great for Jo and Barbara to catch up (and reminisce). There were lots of stories, lots of wine and beer and loads of laughs. We learned that Barb shot her first bear and has it mounted in her den (see photo). Brave woman!
Thanks to Rick for grilling up a great dinner and thanks to both Rick and Steve for putting up with all the stories.
It was almost 10:00 pm by the time we pulled into our “home” in Colleyville, where we are staying with another of Jo’s friends, Bob. Tomorrow it is more visiting and more stories for Steve to have to listen to. Oh well, he’ll get over it and as you know by now . . .
The journey continues . . .
