An Odyssian Quest for Donuts - A Moving Vacation , part 2

 I have really bad arthritic knees and as I would not be any help in moving furniture down the stairs, I was assigned the task of clearing and cleaning out the kitchen which meant on moving day there wasn't anything in the kitchen to eat.  I did however keep the coffee and coffee pot which might have sparked a revolt if they had disappeared.

On our way to pick up the u-haul trailer, I had, what I thought at the time, a brilliant idea of picking up some donuts so we would have something to nibble on while moving furniture up and down the flight of stairs. I had Rob check the GPS for the closest donut store which according to the device was a mere 5 miles away from our current location.  Herein starts an Odyssian quest worthy of Homer.

When we started for the donut store we were nearing Norman and yet the GPS had us bypass Norman and continue on.  After 20 minutes, we had passed River Wind Casino and were heading for Newcastle when I finally had enough and told Rob we were turning around as no donut could be the this good and entail this much time to find.  Once were were back on I35 heading back to Norman, Rob said we were going to find a donut store in Norman as he now had his heart set on donuts.


Exiting Lindsey, the street the U-haul store was located, we noticed a "grand opening" donut store sign so I made a u-turn and turned into the strip mall.
Yummo, "Tasty Donuts"!  Getting out of the truck, I looked to the left at the neighboring store and started laughing.  Right next door to the donut store was...
This tickled our funny bones and we stood and laughed as we looked at both signs.  I had Rob stand so I could take a picture of the poster in the donut window...
This sign had me almost hysterical.  I'm sure the nice Asian couple inside the store was wondering what we were doing and laughing about for so long standing outside their door.  As we finally went in, Rob said to watch out for the "donut holes"! I was laughing so hard tears were in my eyes.  I guess both of us have the same warped sense of humor.

P.S. The donuts were delicious..including the FREE bag of donut holes included with our order.
