Bobby Hopper tunnel on I540 Arkansas


April 14, 2009
The day started with the whoosh of trucks passing by so we jumped up before the sun even broke the horizon and joined the big trucks on I35. In Waxahachie we stopped in the Discount Tire where purchased our wheels and tires and had them checked and aired up. Then, back on I35 and around Dallas to 75 north. Loy Lake Park in Denison, TX, made a good stopping point for breakfast and a little guitar pickin. At noon we crossed the Red River into Oklahoma. We got on to US69N and just about in Pittsburg county we were stopped by the OK state police. He asked Will to come and sit in his car! He then explained to Will about driving between the lines. He came back to the Roadtrek with a warning about staying between the lines. Will said that the inside of the car was neat with all the guns and computers. The statie followed us for a while making sure Will didn’t drive on the shoulder. The lesson in OK, don’t put two wheels on the white line and for sure don’t go on the shoulder of the road when you are driving.

I40 to Springfield was a rough bouncy road. We crossed the Arkansas River, its banks high with muddy waters. Dogwoods are blooming! Once again headed east on US412. We made it to Circle B Theater in Branson, Mo by 7, enough time to change for the 8pm show of Red Head Express!

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Clifford Karl Lambert

Cliff married my little sister, Maria and became part of our family. We traveled to Italy together one summer Cliff had the coolest Man Cave! He really enjoyed technology and used it at work, home and helped everyone enjoy theirs too. He bought a boat that he and my sister enjoyed for many years. He walked his daughter down the isle. And welcomed Travis into his family. Not long after Layla was born and he became a very proud Pap Pap. He and my sister retired to Florida. Where Cliff learned to golf. One of my best memories are of our Cookie Days together. Cliff worked at Lowes and enjoyed his job in the paint department. He got sick; he found out he had stage 4-bladder cancer. We went on our traditional breakfast together each time we got together over the years. He finished the first round of chemo treatments. But the cancer went into his bones. He kept smiling and living life to the fullest. He enjoyed ...
