OK

 

After spending the weekend driving through Oklahoma I've learned quite a bit about this odd state.

1. There are pumpjacks everywhere.

2. They keep mounted garbage cans on the side of the freeway

3. Stillwater, OK has the very first Sonic Drive-in 

4. Kingfisher, OK is the birthplace of Sam Walton

5. Enid is about the ugliest town in Oklahoma. Everywhere outside of here is green, hilly, and full of trees.

Our "getaway" to Oklahoma City didn't go as well as we'd hoped. Jake's leg really bothered him the entire trip. The Orthopedic doctor we saw in Stillwater told us that Jake will not be healed in time to attend his training that starts September 1st, which means his entire program will be pushed back. I just hope they can get him into the next one without trouble. Our massages went well but it didn't help him sleep, in fact it made it worse. So neither one of us were in the mood for any sort of shopping or sight seeing today. Hopefully we'll be able to go back soon and have a much better time! We've now moved into the motel on base which is a lot better than we expected. I just hope we don't have to move out again... Man do I miss home. Thank heavens for Krispy Kremes and Bluebell Rainbow Sherbet.
