Picaresque: Eastbound I-20 at a standstill: Shreveport to White Deer, Texas

About Me

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Eastbound I-20 at a standstill: Shreveport to White Deer, Texas

One look at my toes while bathing convinced me a diuretic day was overdue. We consequently did not pass a rest-stop in east Texas and invented several more. We stopped at cuz Ann's in Grand Prairie, TX but nobody was home. So it was on to White Deer, TX near Amarillo. Lori who had bade me farewell in Florida on her way to the airport for a Texas flight, cooked us dinner. She was in White Deer to assist her mom who had knee surgery. Martin, Joy Grange's good friend was a treat to meet. He cooked some local German sausage that had jalapeno's in it. This sausage bit back but was very good.. Various kids and grandkids ebbed and flowed. It was good to see this group again. Great hospitality and a big backyard to hold the campers from Wyoming.

I started the car twice in the night-we were in a more northerly place.
