Holdenville, OKtv






We're in Holdenville, OK, for Sandy's high school reunion and, no, the picture of the tarantula has nothing to do with her or any of her classmates! It's just a bit of wildlife we saw crossing a road in Chandler, OK, day before yesterday.

We're staying in the Pallmer Inn, a neat old building built in 1923 near the railroad tracks that's been remodeled to be a bed and breakfast. The rooms are small, but charmingly decorated. We have a big, ornate bed with a canopy and quilts. It's Sweetheart Room No. 1, which seemed fitting ... yesterday was our 27th month anniversary of getting married in Chandler!

I've just uploaded some pictures from yesterday: The Pallmer Inn, the bedroom and the gang at supper, plus The Statehood Inn, built in 1907 in Chandler, a beautiful restoration we've been watching.

Big meal last night, served downstairs at the Pallmer, but the big dinner is tonight at the school. I got to explore regional cuisine ... calf fries.

It's hot down here - in the 90s - and humid. You can sweat just taking a deep breath. But the air conditioning is working in the car and in buildings, so we've been comfortable inside. There were about 35 at the dinner, including a guy who runs an RV park in Lake City, CO, not so far from us ... we may be seeing him again ere long! tv

Looks like a wonderful place to stay...minus the 8 legged hairy critters that is! Enjoy the reunion!! Mine is the end of July, but I won't be attending. I haven't been able to get to one since we moved up in 1992.
