Today has been an absolutely beautiful day. Traffic hasn't been bad at all. The roads were still very bumpy, though. We had two "stopping" goals in mind for today--one in Groom, Texas--home of the famous cross, and the other in Amarillo--home of the famous Big Texan. We love the cross at Groom and always allow time for this stop. It is so reverent and peaceful here. One thing was different this year, though. Someone has planted windmills all around the cross. It reminds me of the story of the wheat and the tares. The windmills are pretty to me, but I wish they weren't so close to the cross.
The Big Texan is a world famous restaurant because they have a challenge that if anyone can eat a 72 oz. steak, a baked potato, salad, bread, and tea in under 60 minutes, they get it free. The last time we were here we saw someone attempt it, but we finished our meal and left before we knew the results of this attempt. Paul told me he read somewhere that a woman who is a professional food competitor ate THREE of these in under 60 minutes--a world record! I can't even imagine!
Tomorrow--on to Tucson and Tim's house.
