Oklahoma!

June 8, 2017

I like old: old places, old music, old movies…. which is probably why I haven’t been able to hear anything in my head but “Oklahoma is the place to be…. Farm life is the life for me…” since we entered the Sooner State. We won’t be here long.  Just passing through. I expected prairie and…
