We left Texoma Shores
yesterday, and drove on up to Lake Eufala.
We're spending a couple of nights at Terra Starr RV Park. Believe me, this park is nothing to write
home about, so I won't . But we're only
here for one more night. Just long
enough to do some laundry and play in the pool a bit. Too hot to do much else anyhow, although Tim
does have plans to bike a couple of miles down the road to pick up a geocache
later.
Back at Texoma Shores,
we made another trek into Denison to
view Eisenhower's birthplace. The lady
there was so nice, and seemed very knowledgeable about everything
Eisenhower. I learned that the reason
the Eisenhower family moved there was because his daddy went bankrupt back in
Kansas, so he moved the family to Denison because he got a job with the railroad. While in Denison, they lived in a very modest
2 story house on the "wrong side of the tracks." They lived there for about 3 years, then
moved back to Kansas.
After our tour, we ate
lunch at Devoli's Italian Restaurant in downtown Denison. Looks like that area was recently a bustling
little place with lots of cute shops and restaurants. However, many of the buildings are closed and
boarded up now. Sad.
Sunday we worshipped
with Little City Baptist Church, just down the road from Texoma Shores. Their pastor,
Seth Pester, preached a very good sermon, the choir sang the old hymns
we love, and the pastor's wife sang a special that I had never heard before,
but it was lovely. My only little
complaint about the place is that they took one look at us and put us in the oldest Sunday School class they had! I
mean, these folks were ancient! But then I remembered just how old I am since
that last birthday, and I figured we fit right in. It was a very lively class, and we enjoyed it
very much.
Tomorrow morning we'll
head up to Grove, OK to Bear's Den RV Park.
Wonder if there's really bears around there?
I have a couple of
photos I wanted to add today, but the internet is, again, really sketchy
here. Maybe I can add them later.
