Road Trip

We took a small road trip today. Went to Altus then up to the Quartz Mt. State Park, on to Granite, Lone Wolf, Hobart, then down towards the mountains, passed by the windmills, through Meers, turned East along the North side of Lawtonka Lake, then home. It took a half a tank of gas but we really enjoyed it. We took Sassy along and she slept most of the way, at least she didn't throw up in the car. She is slowly getting over her fear. I took several photos that I will post one at a time for the next several days. The landscape gets really flat the farther West you go. I used to live in Dumas in the Texas panhandle and that's like living on a table top, no hills anywhere. Clovis in Eastern New Mexico is the same way. You feel like you can see all the way to the North Pole. The area I live in now is positively mountainous in comparison.

I think I'll make turkey fajitas, the recipe calls for chicken but turkey will do. There's a good recipe in my new cookbook. I also get a free one year subscription to Better Homes and Gardens magazine along with the book. Can't beat that.

Still in a knitting mood and not a quilting one. The quilts will get done some day.

I took Sassy for a walk a little while ago and the moon was rising in the East. It was so beautiful, a pink color and the sky was a gray-blue. Did I have my camera with me? No. I need to make a habit of taking it with me more often.

Photo of the day, this stream and hill were in Quartz Mt. State Park. The stream had trout in it. At least that's what the sign said. The bad thing about traveling in the off season is that the bathrooms are usually locked. Fortunately there were lots of good bushes around.



God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, thought the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
Psalm 46:1-3
