Well, the pictures loaded backwards this time.  A continuing learning curve!  However, Oklahoma!  Why would we go there you may ask.  Because of Linda and Earl Matthews. Linda was a sorority sister way back when and we have kept in contact for almost 50 years.  They visited us in NC, so we treated ourselves to seeing them again.  Earl is one of the nicest guys alive and he arranged for us to see this incredible dam with a class of third graders.  Felt like I was back helping Emily with her class.  Anyway, this dam is a mile long and has unusual arches in it’s structure.  The generators live below the dam and empty out into this prime fishing area.   Behind the dam is a lake with over 1300 miles of shoreline.  We drove past it for two days.  In Claremore we ran across the largest totem pole in the world.  Linda and Earl ar standing in front of it and yes, it was raining again.  We also  visited the boyhood home and memorial of Will Rogers.  We watched a great old movie of his called the Ropin’ Fool.  Incredible all the tricks he could do!So now you see why we had so much fun here!  Old friends are the best!
