Day 22 and 23. Sunday and Monday, August 20, 21, 2017

Sunday am I left Guthrie, OK.  Had to drive by the Methodist Church that I had seen the night before on my way to dinner.  Beautiful old church.


The decor of the Hampton Inn there was beautiful. The main lobby area is decorated in grays and lavenders. My colors,  so I loved it.  This picture isn't real good but it was a pretty picture against the grayish lavender wall paper.


It was a pretty drive through Oklahoma down into Texas.  Again saw LOTS of northbound traffic on I35 headed for the path of the eclipse.  I arrived at Natalie's in Lewisville (near Dallas) about 2pm.  Was glad to get here and off the road!! It's good to see her. It's been a while - almost a year.  Last night when we were watching 60 Minutes, they had a section on swarms of drones.  Was very interesting and her dog, Hildy, was loving the buzzing sounds.  She was quite funny.


Today - the much anticipated day of the eclipse arrived.  We watched coverage on ABC as it came across the US. One site that was shown was Jackson Hole, WY.  That is about an hour or so north of where I was in Rock Springs, WY a few days ago. No wonder I had trouble finding a room.  Dallas had a 75% coverage so it only got a little dim but didn't get dark.  We didn't have any glasses to watch it so we had heard on the TV to take a selfie picture with phone. (Later heard it might ruin the camera lens - oh well!)  This is my attempt at an eclipse picture! Certainly not an award winning photo. LOL


This afternoon we both took naps after a nice lunch at a Tex Mex restaurant in Highland Ranch.  Her home is in the flyway of DFW airport so there are lots of planes flying.  This photo just missed the plane as it flew in front of the cloud. By the time it clicked it was past the cloud!

It's mighty hot here. Best to stay inside but I went out to take a couple of pictures of her neighborhood. Her house and the house across the street. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood.

After dinner tonight, a Netflix movie is in order.  Hopefully can stay awake since we slept this afternoon! :-)
More tomorrow.  Hugs.
