A Big Thanks to My Peoria Friends……
Can’t wait to share my first day on the road with you, but FIRST, a big, big thanks to the great people of Peoria Camera Club!!! I met so many great people and we really had a wonderful time at both the club meeting Friday night and the all day seminar on Saturday. This was a really warm group of folks and they really made me feel welcome , and I really appreciate that! So thanks again folks, you’re super!
Now today was supposed tone my travel day, and it was, 644 miles today from Peoria to Oklahoma City. I did get a chance to shoot a few things related to Route 66, so let me share some of those images! If I didn’t really expect to get much today, and I had this much fun, can’t wait for the next four days!
Sure hope you enjoy these, can’t wait to try it gain tomorrow!!!

Thanks Marie, it was really great to spend time with all of you in Peoria!!!!
Thank you for spending an awesome time with us in Peoria. Thanks for all the ebooks, your stories, and great conversations. I love looking at your pictures on this great adventure you’re taking. I noticed the S & H Green Stamp sign in one of your pictures. Brings back a lot of memories when I remember my mother collecting them. There were also some yellow stamps that were similar, but I can’t remember what they were. Prayers with you on this great journey.
It was great o be with all of you as well!! Yes my mother saved S&H Green Stamos too! I think we once got a toaster with some!!!
Enjoying!
