Day 23 was spent catching up on chores like updating this blog, but finished with a grand visit at the "Cattlemen's" with a friend from my working days, Cindy of OKC. I was having so much fun swapping yarns with Cindy, I forgot to get a photo.
Lots on "Flight" today, Day 24 following the Historic Route 66 from OKC to Weatherford, OK. 57 miles, so above my average of 40 Rt 66 miles per day.
