Paris Bound

Paris, Texas that is. Disclaimer, this posting is about a week late. I hadn't downloaded any pictures so was conviently waiting on that. Last Saturday, Dec 20, we got a call from the group that they were going to ride to the Paris dealership for something to do, and for the sale. We had plans on going on the Big Texas Toy Run the following Day, but the weather was quickly changing our mind. Darlene had too much to do so I went with Carla and Tee, and Judy and Daryl.

It was relatively warm when we started mid morning, in fact, while waiting I took off my chaps and long sleeve shirt as it looked like the sun was going to break. I still had my heavy leather jacket. It quickly became obvious that it wasn't going to get any warmer however but I was fine for the ride to the dealership.

We actually spent about 90 minutes in the dealership, can you believe that! Anyway, we found a place for lunch and when we left the dealership at 2 PM the weather was starting to change and get colder. First on to the tower, then we searched out a local eating spot but when we got there, they were closed as they were moving to a new location that day, so we ventured over to Chili's. Had a bowl of chili there, imagine that.



Anyway, it was now about 3:30, and we still had an opportunity for some sites so decided to lead the group on a Red River Crossing, we crossed into Oklahoma heading north into the wind. The air temperature was now about 43F, and it felt every bit of it, if not more. On to Carpenter's Bluff bridge, then to a gas station in Denison for a brief warmup before heading home.
