Hard to believe 2 months ago, after first negotiating the contract on our home, Teri and I sat in a Starbucks coffee shop and mapped out a plan to get to tomorrow. Our target date was April 4th-- we will be 1 day off, not bad considering the delayed closing of our homestead.

We are headed north 275 miles for our first stop, Lake Texoma, right on the Oklahoma/Texas border, where we will stay at least two nights, and perhaps up to a week if to our liking. From there, probably will trek West to avoid the Springtime tornado-alley district and stay far enough south to miss lingering cold spells (ie, Denver had snow yesterday and there was a little zephyr that puffed on the Dallas area, as you may have heard).

Teri will be using Project 365, a website for photographer's where they are challenged to take a daily picture and post it. She will link over to Facebook (I guess I will have to "Friend" her now).

We are accepting prayers for safety, financial prosperity, vehicle reliability and good health...oh, and accurate weather forecasts...
