We left Kona on May 4th. Long trip - we went to Honolulu, Las Vegas, Denver and finally Oklahoma City. Carl had his doctor's appointment and stress test the following day. All went well. Friday night was spent with Gay and Charlene Morrison in Midwest City and Jaydene Morrison, who just happened to be in town for her granddaughters graduation. Charlene and I taught together when we lived in OK.
Visited with Chuck and Lura Lee in Harrah then up to Broken Arrow to see Shantel and Mike. First Mother's Day that we were near the children in 15 years. The weather was predicted to get very bad so we left in a hurry the next day. Went to a campground that we were familiar with, Red Rock Canyon, and stayed a couple of days. 21 tornadoes touched down and 5 people were killed. Lots of damage and very close to where Chuck lives. Our friend Pats house had damage but the police were not allowing any one on that street unless you lived there.
We planned to spend the night at Lake Thunderbird in Norman but when we got there it was closed to do major damage from the tornadoes - the whole marina was wiped out.
The next day we moved on to Sulphur, OK. Had a great spot on the water and very few people. Spent 4 days there then moved on to Willis, OK. Both places were really nice Corp of Engineer parks and like Sulphur very few people also.
We are leaving for Texas tomorrow.
