Friday September 15th

We made it to far western Oklahoma today, the town of Weatherford. The motel (a very nice Best Western) is at one of the many points where Route 66 and I-40 run in parallel. Previous stops included in the Rock Cafe, for a wonderful breakfast, and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City.

The weather was really beautiful, although warm (hot). But nice.

There also was more noteworthy news, which I will let Connie describe.

PS 9/16-- Well, the more noteworthy news, which hasn't gotten described yet, is that we exchanged "commitment rings." And we did so in a chapel at the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City, where there is a realistic "mock" old western town.


Our commitment, of course, is not changed from what it has been for quite a while now. But the rings are an outward symbol, and we are both very pleased with this addition.

On my move west to Los Angeles from Ohio, one of my most memorable moments was my stop in Weatherford. I believe that the coffee shop was named Java's. I know that new owners took over a few years ago. But I still vividly recall Weatherford. And I've been in love with and extremely involved in Route 66 ever since. Enjoy your trip, and if you make it all the way to the end of the Mother Road in Los Angeles, drop me a line.
