We left Vernon, Texas this morning around 8:45am in fog and drizzle. Last night it rained all night and the wind blew...I got up to look outside and the rain was coming down sideways it was blowing so hard...the sound reminded me of a snow storm with winds. When I walked across the wet grass this morning it felt like I was walking on a sponge...you could hear squish, squish, squish.
We stopped for gas in Vernon, Texas...paid $3.599 for premium gas and I averaged 26mpg from Vernon to Richardson...course I was only driving between 60-65mph.

These are the pretty flowers outside of the hotel. Although, up close, they looked like they may have been nipped a bit by an early frost....still cloudy.

I did not get any pictures on the George W. Bush Turnpike because of traffic..thought I should drive. I may be getting a letter from the State of Texas...when I went to get on the GWB toll-way I went in the wrong lane...I went in the lane for people who have passes...I was there so I went through without paying...someone said they will take a picture of my plate and send me a bill/ticket...for a $1.00? But, but Officer...I am from "cow country" Wisconsin and it was too late for me to move into the correct lane...but, but, but...boy!...there sure are a lot of people driving around!
I am not sure what is on our agenda for Wednesday...I will update tomorrow sometime.
