a BEAUTIFUL day for a drive through the Ozarks

This morning the sun came up and the clouds stayed away for our drive letting the bright sunlight show off all the beautiful tree color.  We had a group wish us a safe trip on our way out of the campground, 6 deer in one group and a single across the road from them.  When we got to West Plains we had a welcome to Missouri committee of one.  Our sister Neva took a little time off from the library to meet us and have a nice long coffee break with some family gossip.  The rest of the drive, there were a lot of areas of just oaks with dark brown or rusty colors and then every so often a splash of more vibrant color made this a very good fall color drive for us.

We stopped in Rolla for lunch and made it back to the ol' Martin Manor a little before 2:00 pm.  Jo  has four months to get this laundry done before we head out again. ;-)

In the next few days I plan to put together a summary of our trips for 2013 and post it here on this blog.  Then it's back to planning mode for 2014, which isn't that far away.  Time flies when you're having fun, or as the frog says "times fun when you're having flys."

check back in a few days for the summary.
