This trip isn't really exciting, so we haven't posted any updates.
We spent the first night at a Camping World in Tulsa. We didn't get there until after 7 p.m. We didn't have electric hook ups, but we were able to watch TV because we have a battery that can run our lights and TV. The next day we headed towards Grandma's house. We stopped in Lebanon, MO at the Russell Stover Outlet and guess what? It is closed for good. Mom was really sad. The folks decided to stop at a Stuckey's to pick up a pecan roll to take to Grandma's. It wasn't as good as they remembered.
We arrived at Grandma's on Friday afternoon. The next day we drove to my Dad's sister's house. We had a small family reunion. Dad's nephew is in the Navy and he and his new wife were in town. Also, another nephew was in town from Florida. They hadn't seen the Navy guy since he entered the military four years ago.
On Sunday, we headed to Hawn State Park which is in Ste. Genevieve, MO. Mom's great grandparents settled in that area when they came to America from Germany. She had been wanting to find her great grandparents graves and she succeeded. They were really hard to read but Mom had been given directions from a cousin on where they should be and he was correct.
Theresa and Frank Baumann. They died in 1898 and 1899. |
Hawn State Park is nice but there is no cell service or TV reception. It was a very quiet time.
I am not as bored as I look in this photo. |
We spent two days at Hawn and then we went back to Grandma's house. We have been here since. We have done a lot of eating. We have seen almost all of Dad's family. We leave tomorrow and we are headed to Bennett Springs to do some trout fishing.
This is a park that I walked around by Grandma's house. |
This mural was painted by someone that the folks went to high school with. |
The weather has been rainy and colder than home. It is steamy at home, so we are not complaining too much.
