We’ve been having so much fun lately that I haven’t had time to blog about it all. Back on September 29th we went to McAlester to hear our friends Aaron and Lindsay of Rowdy Folk perform at Lucky’s. We went early enough to eat dinner at Gia Como’s and check in quickly at our hotel….
A birthday party
We had such a fun day yesterday. Our nephew was celebrating his 16th birthday so we drove to their house (Tulsa area) to join in the festivities. I even remembered to take a few pictures. Here is Austin with his cake (yummy ice cream cake!): Ashlin and Austin in their glasses/noses: Opening gifts. Huck is…
Weekend fun
David and I long ago made a deliberate decision to have more fun. And for us, music is always a good way to do just that. Very little makes us happier than the opportunity to experience live music. That’s one of the reasons we love New Orleans so much. We kicked off the weekend by…
Cruising Main
Last night, despite the ridiculous heat, we took out the Mustang again and joined other classic cars and hot rods in a cruise down Main Street, Ada. It was a special event in coordination with the McSwain Theatre’s showing of “Grease”. Even though it was hotter than bloody blues, it was still fun to cruise…
Summer date night

Fun on the fourth
We celebrated the 4th of July with friends last night. These lucky folks own a house near the park with a perfect view of the fireworks display. People began showing up around 7 for grilled hamburgers and all sorts of delicious side dishes. It was an unusually nice evening for July. The humidity was relatively…
Happyland Music Fest – Part I
We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….
Memorial Day weekend at Happyland
Happyland Music Fest ’11 In just a few short hours the 5th annual Happyland Music Fest will kick off in our backyard. Tents will be erected, burgers will be grilled and music will fill the air. (I am just hoping all our neighbors have decided to go to the lake for the weekend.) What started…
Cool thing of the week
Have you seen this yet? Wasn’t that fantastic? I just love the ingenuity. These kids will grow up loving music and knowing that they can make it themselves. Parenting win!
