Amarillo Flea Market (Sat./Sun.)

We decided to go to the other flea market here in town this morning, but it was a disappointment.  It was plenty big, but more of their wares were really directed toward the Mexican population.  Joe did buy a new cell phone holder, but that was our only purchase.  Lauren went with us, and she bought a candle.  In addition to the inside booths, they had several tents set up outside.  Out here, there were several pens of pit bull puppies for sale, chickens, birds, and they even offered pony rides.

It warmed up quite a bit today, but the humidity is low so it wasn't that uncomfortable.  But we all concurred that this was a waste of time, so we left and headed to Whataburger for lunch (Joe got to pick, of course).  From there, Lauren headed home to get ready for this evening (they invited us to dinner), and we headed back to the RV.  However, we decided to drive on past to check out gas prices on down the road, and we drove past the "cadillac ranch" just outside of town.  We had seen this many years ago, but it had been a while, before the graffiti hit.  Now they are works of art, I guess.


We went over to Clint and Laurens for dinner.  Clint played us some country music on his guitar, then grilled us some excellent steaks.  Unfortunately, he was so tired he didn't join us for dinner, but we sure enjoyed his cooking.

Sunday we woke up to clouds and wind, still in the 60s, but it was a lovely day, felt like fall weather.  I did laundry, then Joe crawled under the RV and greased some of its parts.  We are getting ready to head out in the morning.  Tonight we are going to the Palo Duro Canyon musical show, and it doesn't start until 8:30, so we just had a restful day resting up for our late night. Mazie brought her laptop over in the afternoon, and we messed with that for a while.  Clint and Lauren stopped by for a while to visit.   Lauren has a very nice new car, which she is very proud of.
We hope to get an early start tomorrow and make some good progress toward Arizona.  We'll have to see what time we get to bed after our late outing this evening.
