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:…
Weekend in the City
I just realized I haven’t posted anything since last Monday. I’ll bet you’re thinking that I’ve been so busy actually doing everything I wrote on my schedule that I didn’t have time to blog, right? Well, not exactly. I did quite well on Monday and Tuesday but then I started coming down with a cold. I had…
Weekend Warriors
I think we’ve just about got this weekend thing figured out. You should be exhausted by Sunday night, right? David had one heck of a week at work and was more than ready for Friday night. We went to the Statesman Lounge to hear Mandala perform and to reveal the gender of her baby due in…
My birthday weekend
David took me to Oklahoma City and Dallas this past weekend to celebrate my birthday. I feel utterly spoiled. And exhausted. Hey, if you don’t come home tired you aren’t doing it right. Right? Right. We headed to “the city” (that’s Okie-speak for Oklahoma City) Friday afternoon. We didn’t get out of town until 3…
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…
Sleepless in Happyland
I need this sign in my kitchen: We seem to be taking that sentiment to heart around here. Friday evening was the first round of “Ada’s Got Talent”, the big annual fundraiser for Ada Homeless Services (I serve on the board of directors.). We had 43 acts that first night. The talent was incredible and…
A summer weekend
This past Saturday we picked up the children of a friend (we actually think of her as a relative) who were in town visiting their grandparents and took them to visit David’s fire station. Noah wants to be a firefighter and had been eagerly awaiting this little field trip. I think he’ll make a fine…
Weekend Adventures…
David and I had the honor of attending one of the most delightful weddings. The son of one of my dear friends married his sweetheart Saturday night in Oklahoma City. We had a few things to do on the way up so we left around 11:30 Saturday morning. First stop was Jason’s Deli in Norman…
Joy comes on the Weekend
It was a whirlwind of activity but oh, so nice in many ways. I like to think of the weekend beginning on Friday evening when David gets home from work. I had planned to cook at home but he wanted to go out which was just fine with me. I’ve talked before about our home-away-from-home…
