I had a great visit with my cousin Nancie and her husband Bob in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Nancie took me to her quilt guild meeting and I was inspired to get home and quilt. Think I can make something like this? It is bright and cheerful!
I headed to Jackson,Tennessee, for the night and then on to Memphis to visit the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr was assasinated in 1968. It was a sobering museum with much information about Black history. Afterwards I had a delicious dinner of barbecue!
Then I was on to Wynne, Arkansas, and camped at the Village Creek state Park. This was not far from Little Rock. The next day I spent some time at the Clinton Presidential Library. This is a great high tech library and well done! I had an informative tour given by a retired history professor.
The next day I arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a nice visit with Barb and Gary. Barb is Peg's sister and we become good friends when we were taking care of her in Oregon. It was great to catch up on our lives! They took me to a movie where dinner was served as we watched the movie.
Soon I was in Texas enjoying a visit with Laura. I stayed in a RV park for a night and then went to Cedar Hills State Park south of Dallas for a few more days. The park was pretty but dry! They need rain too!
Laura and I had a nice visit. We had some good meals together.
We also went to the modern art museum of Fort Worth.
Soon it was time for me to head home and Laura back to work. I drove to Austin and went to the LBJ presidential library. It was a low key library but interesting.
I was anxious to head west because a storm was coming. I drove to Fort Stockton and weathered a night of wind and heavy rain. There was a tornado watch but it did not touch down! In the morning the rain had stopped and I headed for New Mexico. My last stop in Texas was in Van Horn for an interesting visit at the quirky Clark Hotel Museum.
They did have a lot of rain after I left!!
