HERE IT'S GETTING CLOSER.. AND LOOKING AWESOME!! 

LOOKIE WHAT WAS COMING TO VISIT US TONIGHT.. SATURDAY.. AWESOME THUNDER HEAD.. AND IT HAD SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN UNDER IT TOO...  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT FREDA AND COUSIN DORIS.. AUGUST 15 AND 16TH!!

Aunt Freda was the guest of honor, and it was also Cousin Doris's birthday the day after Aunt Freda's too.. so it was a big party for all!! Joanna and Clinton, Doris and Jim, Aunt Freda and Uncle Ivan, Aunt Fanny, Mom and Mk, Phil and Tammy and Austyn, Paul and Heather and Madison, and Andrew, Ann and I, Jonathan and Randi and Kaitlyn were in attendance... What a great time, and some wonderful visits, and we missed some family... but there will be another time, I am sure. How lucky we are to be in a world where we can come and go as we please, do what we want, when we want, get what we want when we want.. and visit those we can, when we can! The food was great, the company was awesome.. and it was fantastic!! Aunt Fannie was telling me about some "going's on" at the Senior Citzens Center in El Reno... Aunt Freda was talking about 17 years of donuts and day old donuts... and having family over for ice cream, and Clinton's back is a bit better, Mom is not doing to well, and on and on... it was truly God's blessing to us to be able to share that wonderful time together! Thanks to everyone who came and made it a special night!  

On the way to OKC to Aunt Freda's Birthday... We took the long way around to miss the storm and it kinda slipped in behind us.. this was the wind whipping across the Oklahoma plains near the Cimarron River on Highway 33. It was an awesome site. I have never in my life seen such a pretty site. The sand was dancing under the strength of the wind.. It was sooo cool that Paul stopped and I snapped a few shots. Will post the rest later.. It was just awesome.. then we took off and headed down the Turner Turnpike and ended up late due to two wrecks and miles of stop and go driving in a 75 posted, 85 usually mile per hour highway!! 

Madison Ann came to see us while her Dad played ball the other evening.. and he WON, and almost hit a home run!!! Needless to say, Grandma and I hit home runs too, keeping Madison Ann!!
