Day 106

Today was a long but rewarding day! We left Bartlesville, Oklahoma at 8am for a 5 hour drive to Irving, Texas! We checked into the beautiful La Quinta Inn & Suites, our lovely sponsored "home" for Texas! The staff was amazing and our beds incredibly comfy for a 20-minute nap before heading to the theatre. 

Our show was at the stunning Irving Arts Center and we loved the beautiful space! The show was a blast because the Texas energy truly was AMAZING! The entire audience felt like true friends after the show and left us with a smile in our heart. 

After the show we had such a great time: our friends Jerry and Susan and Lynn and Glen from the boat came, as well as Kevin from Normandy France! We also were thrilled to see our great friend Luis who used to work on the American Duchess with us and drove 6 hours to see the show! 

The Quilt of Valor went to our friend Glen who was a captain in the United States Air Force. He spent much of his time serving in the hospital during Vietnam and was so grateful for his quilt! We got our share of love and hugs from so many veterans, AND were also surprised by Dan's cousin and their entire family! 

The team was amazing all day and night, especially considering we drove through the day to get to and perform the show. 
​Overall, we all agree that Texas really represented. Their energy truly shined through, and we're so very grateful for the love.
