We're in Dallas visiting my dad and step mom for a couple of days - taking a break from being tourists for a little while. Dallas is funny, everything is big. You've got big cars, big roads, big malls, and even big people. It's no joke when Texans say they do it big in Texas. Large does have its drawbacks, like driving an hour just to go for dinner. That's considered normal in Texas.
Taking a step back for a minute, I wanted to thank our Aunt Georgia and Uncle Gary in Oklahoma City (OKC) for their wonderful hospitality and conversation as we, too quickly, passed through their area a couple of days ago. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting extended family members, and was pleasantly surprised with all that Oklahoma had to offer.
Last but not least, let's not forget Thunder-querque. On our marathon 18 hour - 2 day drive from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to OKC, we stopped in Albuquerque for the night and witnessed an amazing thunder and lightning storm. Some of the bolts of lightning lit up the sky in a sea of deep purple - a color we had never seen before in lightning. I tried to take some pictures of the lightning, but it was pretty difficult to catch lightning in a bottle, uh, camera.

Good photo of you and your Dad, Sam. Tell him he is looking really spiffy. Can that be translated into Mandarin? Probably not, just tell him we said hello.
Love, Mom
So you made it to Texas, cool! Are you getting the laundry done? I'm always thinking about my poor homeless sister and brother-in-law living out of there car with no laundry facilities as I'm throwing another load in the dryer.
Ya know, and then the moment passes as I sit and ponder all of the wonderful places you get to see and here I am doing laundry, again.
Where to next?
Handsome/suave can be translated. I'll do that. Yes, we're doing laundry in Dallas. Lots of it. Next up is the big easy.
