Day 1 of our 35th Anniversary HOG Trip. Conroe, TX to Prague, OK.
We left early this morning, eager to get started and avoid the potential storms coming through. Packed and ready to go, we rode from Conroe Texas to Prague Oklahoma, where we would stay with the Seyferts. They are friends from Tim’s childhood and a couple he recently married.
Passing through Seminole on the way to Prague was nostalgic. I heard Tim speaking to me in the Sina com system, telling me all about the places he remembers: his first job location, the farm where they lived (that is now a large open field), the new gas station (wow Seminole is looking pretty good!), and the golf course where he learned to play. It was good to hear him reminisce.
It’s always good to have him in my ear. I usually lead since I have the maps open on my phone. And he thinks I go faster when I’m in front 😂. It’s always comforting to see him in my rear-view mirrors. I love riding with him. He’s always got my back. He looks out for me when cars are passing or he sees something in the road ahead when he is in the lead. This is true of life as well. He’s my caretaker, even though I don’t need to be cared for as much as when I first started this breast cancer journey. I love my riding buddy!
Staying with friends is such a treat. They reserved a spot for us in the garage. Even though it was our first day on the road, they let us wash clothes. They made us a wonderful homemade meal of fish and veggies.
We played Spades (both teams won one, but we were too tired for a rubber match). This was the first time playing cards in a while. It was good fun! A great stopping place. Thanks Jeff and Melissa for your wonderful hospitality!
Á la prochaine…until next time!
