Get Your Kicks

St .Robert, MO. They really do have good fudge. 
Southwestern salutations to all as we have stopped for our second night on our way westward. We have stopped an hour west of Albuquerque, NM.  Can I just say that New Mexico is soooo beautiful? What a great amalgamation of two strong cultures- Native American and Hispanic. Anyway, I digress. I'll backtrack to yesterday. 

Too blessed, but still stressed. 
Yesterday we stopped in Yukon, OK- home of Mr. Garth Brooks. Didn't see him though. 
My mom is rotating between relieving me of driving and driving in comfortable silence as Dad's passenger. 
No offense to any Okies from Muskogee or other cities, but Oklahoma is not the most exciting state to drive through. Mom and I wanted to get out to walk so I came upon this on my map. Interesting, but not worth a trip back. This is the Ed Galloway Totem Pole Park in Foyil, OK. Click on the link for more information because we didn't learn a lot- the visitor center was closed and there was not a soul in sight. 


Hard to see, but I am in that photo. I dress to blend in with totem poles.

Day 2 of our road trip consisted of continued driving on the 'ol Mother Road, Route 66. We drove through OK to the top of TX and almost entirely across NM.
New Mexico is really pretty in a deserted and sparse kind of way as viewed from the highway (and observations from previous trip). Gorgeous sunset view leaving Albuquerque today- Bella and I stopped in town because I wanted to see the Old Town area and it did not disappoint. So adorable I could see myself living there. All gussied up for Christmas with twinkling lights on- perfect setup for a Hallmark movie. BTW, if you're in need of a good storyline for YOUR Hallmark movie- contact my sister; this is one of her specialties. Also Bella was allowed into a store for me to look at adorable items I didn't need but can't resist. 







When your dog is so worried you're leaving her...

It's time now for me to play my Kindle game that I spend waaaayy too much time doing. 
Tomorrow we stop in Barstow, CA. 

Peace, love, and cuddlebugs,
ME
