Had a great time in CA with friends and daughter Christina. We had dinner at the Black Tap and split these Crazy Shakes with Friends.

Last State: Hawaii and Ohana
Welcome back to Tire Mom! Can this really be the last post recounting my journey – and yours with me – to all 50 states? That was the way I felt when I deplaned in Hilo, Hawaii, to buy the fiftieth (plus a few) set of tires. I knew many people in the Islands, sinceContinue reading “Last State: Hawaii and Ohana”
SO HAPPY in Florida
Welcome back to Tire Mom! Florida was my last mainland state. Talk about a combination of feelings and thoughts. I was a tiny bit sad to be nearly at the end of what had turned out to be a life-changing journey, yet I was also drained and at the same time elated. And what betterContinue reading “SO HAPPY in Florida”
Treasures in Mississippi
I knew when I left Louisiana that I wanted to take the Natchez Trace Parkway that stretches 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. So glad I did that. The route is a treasure, much like the Colonial Parkway between Jamestown and Yorktown Virginia, which Clayton and the kids and I loved when weContinue reading “Treasures in Mississippi”
Goodness in Louisiana
Welcome back to Tire Mom! You know, our country is nothing if not a place of infinite variety. Being in the Deep South opened my eyes to all kinds of things we don’t find in New York or Ohio or Hawaii. Fried everything. Slow moving and talking. And old tires repurposed for just about anythingContinue reading “Goodness in Louisiana”
Not Alone in the Lone Star State, TX
Welcome back to Tire Mom! Today marks the start of our last part of this journey together. I’m happy to say that when I reached Texas, I didn’t get what sailors call “channel fever” when the end is near and you want to rush to get there. I savored my last five states just asContinue reading “Not Alone in the Lone Star State, TX”
Hot Water in Arkansas
Welcome back to Tire Mom! In search of Tire Mom #45 I drove to Hot Springs, Arkansas. To get the lay of the land, so to speak, I went up into the lattice steel Hot Springs Mountain Tower, 1,256 feet above sea level. Actually, I took the elevator to the observation decks which are onlyContinue reading “Hot Water in Arkansas”
OK in OK
Welcome back to Tire Mom! The drive from Denver to Tulsa was a fourteen-hour haul, and I was wiped when I arrived. I was treated to a great Mexican meal and got a good night’s sleep. It’s amazing that often that’s all it takes to restore us. The next day took me to a warehouseContinue reading “OK in OK”
