We returned from our California trip around 2 a.m. this past Wednesday morning and I’m just about caught up. Oh, who am I kidding? There’s no such thing as “caught up” but I am unpacked. David, my mom and I flew out Thursday morning at a ridiculously early hour but at least that gave us…
California Trip Update
I really appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts offered up on behalf of my uncle. While his condition remains serious and the ultimate prognosis is poor, I’m happy to report that he is doing much better now than he was when I saw him upon arrival in California a week and a half ago. …

While we were enjoying 70+ degree temperatures in Southern California, our fellow-Oklahomans were dealing with…
