This is the best time of year to be in Oklahoma - the landscape is green and vibrant and even colorful. The spring rains are keeping things cooled down. By July, Oklahoma will be brown and crispy and stinkin' hot. Tulsa was surprisingly encouraging, affirming, and exciting for us to visit. Once again, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but what I got surprised me in all kinds of positive ways. It was especially great to see friends and have the time to spend time together.
Today we bid a fond farewell to Tulsa (except for a small snafu getting out of town due to roadwork and circuitous detours that I am positive were planned by guys from Pittsburgh) and continued west. We've taken a short spur to the north, hopping up to Ulysses, KS to see some old family friends of Amy's who are 'retired' missionaries that used to serve in west Africa. Great folks, extremely encouraging and full of wisdom. Ulysses is a great little prairie town: our hotel room has posted rules about where you are and are not allowed to clean your birds, reminders about unloading whilst in the building, and provides free gun rags at the front desk. I like this place!
