ON THE WAY TO WBCCI

Just hangin' in front of the Methodist Church in Farmerville

 

Pearl (Dave's 94 year old mom) She brought V and D back to me after sleeping over at her house.

First time to visit Amy and John's house in Bernice...Niece and Nephew-in-law

 

First time to visit Cousin Janet's house in Flower Mound, TX

 

Talking with some big trucks at the OK Welcome Station

I'm trying to think of a "corny" joke to go with this picture.  Maybe thinking about it is just good enough.  As soon as we hit the OK state line, Dave put in the "Oklahoma" CD.  ..."the corn is as high as an elephant's eye, and it looks like it's growin' straight up to the sky"

Potty Break...V and D think it is so cool to have a rolling potty at all times.

And the Little Red Hen said, "Who will help be plant the wheat?"  It is everywhere in OK and Kansas. Beautiful golden fields gleaming in the sun.  I think the Little Red Hen would get plenty of help in these parts.

 

I bet some of you are thinking...WBCCI...what in the heck is that?  Some of you probably have already "goggled" it, but for the ones that haven't...it means Wally Byam Caravan Club International.  I am an official member.  Vannie and Dave and myself are headed to Huron, SD for the big international shindig of the WBCCI.  It happens once a year and is really a big deal.  It will be my first time to participate, as well as V and D's first time, also.

I'll try to post a little more often to keep you in tune with this adventure.  The plan is to attend a pre-caravan before the Huron Rally.  This will be about a dozen Vintage Airstreams (Vintage...nice way to say OLD) touring Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, etc.  This group will end up at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead in DeSmet, SD.  on June 25-26.  We will all caravan into the International Rally on the 27th.  I'm just so excited!!!

The pictures I've posted are places we have stopped on our journey.  Loved seeing all the relatives in Farmerville, Bernice, Flower Mound.  Although we only saw Cousin Janet's cat...Janet was attending a wedding in Austin.  After leaving Flower Mound, we headed north...Oklahoma, Kansas.  We are parked in a delightful little RV park in Lindsborg, Kansas tonight.  Met the nicest man when we pulled in.  He showed V and D around the town on foot.  My tires were tired and burning, so I enjoyed the cool shade of the trees.  Lots of Swedish ancestors in this area.  Architecture, Food, Art, Names...all indicate this heritage.

We'll be heading into Nebraska tomorrow and then on into SD...
