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…
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…
Best weekend. Ever.
Last weekend David took me to the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City to celebrate my birthday. It’s a lovely hotel but when they upgrade to a suite it’s spectacular: And when I saw the flowers David had flown in for me, I was utterly blown away: Cocktails at the Red Piano Lounge: Then room service…
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…
Wonderful Weekend…
This weekend couldn’t have been better unless it had been longer. David took off work early on Friday afternoon and as soon as we managed to get animals taken care of and our bags packed, we headed up to Oklahoma City for the weekend I’ve been looking forward to for about two months. David had…
They say it’s my birthday!
I’m so excited! David is whisking me away for the weekend at our favorite Oklahoma City hotel, the Skirvin. A whole weekend relaxing in luxury – sigh… I had my big party last week and my kids took me to Norman yesterday for lunch and a little shopping. Wanna see David’s gift to me? From…
Best Birthday Ever!
My birthdays have always been rather low-key affairs…cake and ice cream with cousins when I was a kid, dinner out with family as an adult. Sometimes David and I also go away for a night which is always nice. This year was different, though. It started out with the usual dinner at a restaurant with…
Our Weekend in OKC…
