Texas and Oklahoma Travels.

Last week we were in Oklahoma and this week we are in the panhandle of Texas.  We have been busy and have not had time to share a little extra with ya'll.  You may have heard that 'every thing is bigger in Texas,' and we have seen that demonstrated in many ways.  For instance, there is a steak house in Amarillo, TX that sells a 72 oz. steak.  In Canada we call that a roast.  By the way, that is a 4.5 lb. steak!  We did not go there, and I do not have any pictures of that.

BUT--we did go to a hamburger joint, named Dave's Hamburgers and Chili.  This was not in Texas though, but in Edmond, OK.  Look at these babies...

When your burger is served with a fork and knife you know you are in trouble.  These are not regular size buns, but the larger buns.  I am thinking Brother Bill F. back home in Yarmouth would love these burgers.

Here are a couple shots of northwest Texas.  These pictures were taken on I-40 about an hour west of Amirillo, which is part of the historic Route 66 highway.  Route 66 is so famous because it was the first Interstate highway to reach across the USA from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

We saw our first tumble-weed blowing across the road this past week.  They do tumble.  I was travelling at 70 mph. so I was not able to get you a picture.
