354/365

Gruver down, Sterling to go. The 4 & 1/2 hr drive from TX to KS aint no thang in our eyes. The first two hours of the trip are usually spent rehashing everything that went down in the last few days. The next two hours are spent predicting the condition of the upcoming few days. This trip in particular was exciting because we took "taking the backroads" to a whole new level. We didn't hit a familiar highway for, gosh, about 2 hours. Between our iphones & the gps on the truck, we kept finding little cut-acrosses. Cut-acrosses that took 45 minutes off our drive. Highway 54 can go fly a kite. We prefer the dirtroads. And as for our destination, have you ever seen anything cuter than my hometown at Christmastime? It's quaint. It's charming. It's magical. And it's all mine for a few days.
