Oct. 8: Ft. Gibson Lake

We're at Taylor Ferry campground on Ft. Gibson Lake just east of Wagoner, OK. This is our spot - my back is to the water. We had a very photographic fog this morning so I went down to the water to see what I could do with it. The geese looked almost like ghost ships cruising by.




We came here to visit Larry's two brothers, Don & Dean. Normally, Don is in a care home in Muskogee just south of Wagoner. However, about 3 this morning, he was moved to a hospital in Tulsa. Don has a hard time getting his dialysis because he can't sit for very long - it becomes too painful. So he convinced the home staff that he could skip Tuesday's dialysis, therefore ending up in the hospital. We went to visit him this afternoon but he was pretty wiped out because that's what dialysis does to him. I'm not sure he even knew we were there.

This evening we ate with Larry's other brother Dean and his wife Lethia (left), along with Don's wife, Kathy (middle). We had a great visit and good food - BBQ. In the morning we leave for Texoma to do some striper fishing.
