No flowery prose today. . .

. . .  just the facts, Ma'am.   Sorry, but I got home from Afton Station an hour late and quite exhausted after a big day there.  I'll fill in some details tomorrow.  For now, just a list of where our 39 visitors came from.

Rondaberg Norway, Worthsee Germany, Darchten Netherlands, Lauderdale MS, Joplin MO, Evanston IL, Fayetteville AR, Boston MA, Niagara Falls NY, Pittsburgh KS, Parsons KS, Tulsa OK, Bartlesville OK Oklahoma City OK, and 12 folks from the Tulsa Volkswagen Club.

Here are a couple of VWs that came to visit.  There was also a VWBus, a VW truck, and a VW station wagon.
The VW folks came late and fortunately Robin and Phil were also there, so they took over at the point when Ron M. and I really needed to leave.  

Earlier in the day we admired this Tulsa gentleman's Yamaha Venture. . . 
 . . . enjoyed hearing the travel tales of this fellow from Niagara Falls. . .
. . . and visited with Geir from Norway, a guy who has been here before.  In high school, some 20+ years ago, he was an exchange student with a family from Afton (the Tiptons, growers of the world's best sweet corn) and he comes back each year to visit his American "family".  We had a nice long chat with Geir and invited him back any time. 
 There is so much more to say, so I'll try to elaborate on some of it tomorrow, although I'm expecting another long day with some overtime tomorrow, so I might have to wait until Monday to finish this post.  Sorry to be so hasty. . .
