This past Friday was a great day for love. We went to Tulsa to attend the wedding of a young lady and her beloved. It was a beautiful church ceremony and a really fun reception at the Hard Rock hotel. Our son, Chris, was one of the ushers. This is him with a dear friend:…
Tales From the Trip (Part 1 – Life’s a Beach)
David and I took a short trip to California to visit relatives and just returned Tuesday evening. I’ll share our trip adventures and photos in a few posts…in no particular order. We were in the desert most of the time but had a nice little break in the middle at the beach. Let’s start there….
Love and the City
I often wonder what I ever did to deserve the life I live. This weekend was simply wonderful in every way. David and I had planned to leave Friday morning around 10 but it was more like 11 before we actually got out of town. We spent the drive reminiscing about the early days of…
The Hippie and the Pirate – A Love Story
Before neither of us can remember the details, I thought it would be nice to write our love story. Here is part 1 (update: with links to parts 2 and 3): The Hippie and the Pirate – A Love Story Part 1: How We Met It was sometime early September 1976, probably on a…
Wedded bliss
Yesterday was our 31st wedding anniversary. Sadly, David has been out of town this week on business but he had these gorgeous flowers delivered: I wish you could see them in person because the picture doesn’t do them justice. Plus, they smell fantastic! As much as I’d rather have him with me this week, I…
In the good ol’ summertime…
I took this shot as I was driving in our driveway the other day. I want to make sure I have photos of the “in between” stage of our exterior renovations. I love the way the log siding looks with the stone and am eager to see it finished. The white railing on the balcony…
Still In Love With You
What can you say about a weekend like David and I just shared? Words can’t do it justice but I’ll give it a whirl. We drove to Oklahoma City Friday evening, stopping in Norman to drop off seven boxes of bottles (from Happyland Music Fest) at the recycling center. We then had dinner at Olive…
Spoiled Rotten
Okay, I’ll admit it. David spoils me. Later this afternoon we will be heading to “the city” (that’s Okie-speak for Oklahoma City) for three nights at the fabulous Skirvin Hotel. Monday is our 30th anniversary and he has to leave that morning for his annual managers meeting in Houston. I’m not crazy about the fact…
Twenty seven years…
The roses David surprised me with: He also bought a huge bag of our favorite locally made chocolates. Yum! Today David and I are celebrating 27 years of marriage. We’ve had some ups and downs but I can honestly say that we love each other more today than we did 27 years ago. Life is…
