Take a Little Trip with Me

Still a beautiful and fun place to visit.
Navajo Fire Dance
What are you looking at?
Making use of a timer
I used to sit on these lions 
when I was little.
It was the most beautiful and sunny day we have had
in weeks.  So we took a little trip to Woolaroc.  It's very 
near our home and such a wonderful place with 
lots of animals to see.

Mothers and Daughters


 My son took our photo for us, he does not enjoy being in a photo.  
Flowers, cards, a rose, and presents.  I fixed fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, biscuits, and gravy for lunch.  We had a nice day together.  My mother got to hold her new great-grandson the evening before.  That would be my nephew pictured a few posts ago.

The Picture of Dorian Gray


My husband acted in high school.  Here he was Dorian Gray.  I always loved watching the high school perform plays.  That got us out of class to watch.  Bonus!  But I especially liked this guy (second from the left).  I even bought these photos from the year book because I liked him so much.  He didn't know it at the time.  I was a sophomore and he was a senior.  He only noticed me when I would walk down the Cotton Gin Road to my house from town or the high school.  He had a friend in his band that lived a quarter of a mile past my house.  There were times he would give me a ride when I was walking to work at the nursing home.  I had one cute uniform with a fitted waist.  I surely did like that uniform.  



Here is my future husband receiving an award for drama.

I liked seeing him in a caveman suit.  I had to check out his legs!

Wordless Wednesday-Dunes

This little orange buggy is ours.  That's my husband and son in it.
For more Wordless Wednesday go here.


They are pulling a dune slowly.  
Moi.



I am standing on top of my four-wheeler for this video. You really don't get a good grasp of how tall these dunes are until you are there. They are from 80 to 100 feet tall.  We're at the top of a dune and those four-wheelers are at the top of another dune.  The dune drops off just on the other side of the orange buggy.  We rode the tops of many dunes.  It is marvelous fun!

This week-end in Kellyville, Oklahoma is an event to adopt wild mustangs by the Bureau of Land Management.  The news on Channel 2 said that 80 horses would be up for adoption on the spot if you qualify.  You must prove you have the space and a coral for the horse.  If you adopt a one-to-four year old horse, you pay $125.  If you adopt a horse that is four years old or more and keep it in good health for one year the government will pay you $500.  Interested?  Go here for Kellyville information: Wild Horse & Burro Adoption Heading to Kellyville, OK, May 7-9!

Colonoscopy

Today I took my husband to get a colonoscopy.  He prepared for it starting on Saturday afternoon eating only jello and clear liquids.  Then the fun began on Sunday afternoon with the solution taken to clean you out.  Several hours later, mission accomplished!  

You know what?  They even give you color photos of your colon.  I'm sure you don't want to see them.  Butt, he was given a good bill of health.  No need for another test for ten more years.  

New Great-Nephew

My new great-nephew Lincoln.  He weighed 8 lbs. 11 oz.  22 inches long.
Born today May 4, 2009.  Congratulations Chad and Suzy!

This Little Girl of Mine

Lola Abigail

Once upon a time there was a little girl...

These beautiful girls gave her a baby shower. On the left is her sister and on the right is her best friend.

She opened presents:

Here is my mother.  The baby's great-grandmother.  

Do they grow up and does time fly? Yes, indeed!  Please remember to enjoy life and all your loved ones.  

Little Sahara

We will be headed to Little Sahara this week-end to play with our new dune buggy.  Our son will be going with us.  We've got a house located right next to the dunes rented.  We can ride right from the house to the dunes.  It is really fun to ride at night with twinkle lights on top.

I made the little black vinyl top for the buggy.  It snaps on and off.  It will be a great help with the sun.  
We'll be taking one of our four-wheelers too.  

Here's a short clip of Little Sahara:

And here is a trail video of four-wheelers:
