ROAD TRIPS....
are the equivalent of human wings.
Ask me to go on one.
ANYWHERE.
We'll stop in EVERY SMALL TOWN
and learn the
HISTORY and STORIES.
Feel the ground and
CAPTURE THE SPIRIT.
Then we'll turn it into OUR OWN STORY
that will live inside
OUR HISTORY to carry with us
Always.
Because... STORIES are more
IMPORTANT than THINGS.

Small Towns...
This little town was a surprise.
We hopped off of the interstate to visit
a honey farm..but it was closed
and so we wandered into town to see
what we might see.
Eric, Oklahoma
Here we found a treasure..
The Roger Miller Museum
filled with his belongings and there
was the scrap of paper on which
he wrote the King of the Road.
Have you ever heard his song
You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd?
Small town history...
Small town spirit...
These girls were just darling and I loved their spirit
and creativity. Aren't they adorable?
I loved watching them with their smiles
and chalk-covered hands.
They were having such fun!
And bless the one who allowed them
create their masterpiece
in front of their store!
I would love to know the history behind this
place and all the treasures held inside.
JUST IMAGINE......
It was packed to the ceiling..
which was old stamped tin...
Sigh.....
How I toyed with the idea of fining the owner and offering
them a lump sum.
loading up a semi trailer and hauling it home..
In my dreams...
But a person needs to dream!
This was behind an old building. Just sort of piled up.
We spent several hours roaming through this little town.
It's charm captured our hearts.
Tomorrow morning,
we set out on another adventure.
Who knows what we might find.
I'd love to hear about a special
place that you have found!
Happy Trails to you..
Tamara xoxo
