Yep That's me with some pretty purple elbow length knitted mittens! I was so surprised when Rhonda handed me a birthday present! And ... ever so pleased when I opened the box! Her beautiful daughter Amber is a Rhodes Scholar knitter! Thank you Amber for letting me benefit from your artistic talents :) I love them!
And Thank you Bob & Rhonda for thinking of me on my upcoming 58th birthday!! We look forward every Saturday to our breakfast soirees!
My friends took me to Pawnee Oklahoma to celebrate my birthday!
With Lynne & Gail :)
We went to the world famous "Clicks" for lunch! I got to try a cheeseburger "Pawnee" style!
Clicks is famous for their funky meringue pies!
Buffalo Safari! We drove through the ranch and sometimes were just a few feet from these beasts!
There were hundreds of them roaming the ranch!
Some of them would even get on the little road and block our path!
This big guy practically put his head in the back seat window where I was sitting in Lynne's car!
I'm not sure if they even have tails? But that is a sign posted in a window in downtown Pawnee?
Long Horn Steers?
It was a really crazy fun day and only my two crazy fun friends could have thought of such a crazy fun birthday escape!
Lynne & Gail definitely "LIT A FIRE" under my otherwise pretty boring life!
Thank You ... Thank You... Thank You!
Watch this short video of Dillan getting her Cinderella Doll.... Pure Delight!
Ziegler's Frame shoppe promised we'd have "Stop Action Reaction" hanging on our wall in two weeks and I'm happy to say we did! It definitely makes a POP amongst our other famed collection of art!
Forget Dora The Explorer... Forget Yo Gabba Gabba! Even Toy Story is fading a bit! It's the Princess phase in this little girl's life! After wandering around the Disney store in rapture .... Princess Dillan actually wore the Cinderella wedding gown, glass slippers and veil out of the store! People passing by Dillan continued to comment on how beautiful she was ...If they didn't, she would stop and ask them, "Do I look pretty?" And then low and behold there appeared in her sight, a Merry Go Round with sparkling lights! Sooooooooo we took the trip fantastic! There are some moments in your life when time stands still, you forget your cares and woes and just live in the moment! Think about it? It always happens on a Carousel :)
I wonder who Thelma is? Was she Bill's wife? Or is it just another shack next door to Bill's?
We'd heard the "food buzz" that this run down burger joint was going to be featured on National TV!
We'd seen it along the freeway in a pretty shabby part of town ... And never ever never thought about sampling a Bill's Jumbo Burger until ......
Friends that know of my quest for the perfect cheeseburger actually double dared us to try one!
So yesterday on a quiet Monday we pulled up into their parking lot and much to our surprise, we couldn't even find a place to park! We parked next door at Thelma's bar! We had to wait for over 20 minutes for a Bill's special and because there is virtually no place to sit (a few stools inside and some picnic tables outside) we dined in our car!
I didn't expect that we would join our Saturday morning breakfast friends but Stephen insisted and I think it did him wonders! Dilly Deli was delicious as awhiles! On their menu they have a dish called Meg & one called Beau? How crazy is that?
Abuelo & Tay Tay love our IPAD cuddle time on the big bed with Dillan! She loves all the Princess videos and lately she has asked for Cinderella or Snow White! Some how the Betty Boop Cinderella cartoon always comes up and the song just keeps sticking in all of our minds ....
Stephen saw these socks at SAK'S 5th Ave on Christmas Eve Day and loved, loved them! Some how a little Elf named Megan had them under the tree the next day! Fun socks!
The sweetest little old ladies of Tulsa make these books at the church! They are called Quiet Books! They show wee ones how to zip, tie a shoe, braid hair, match shapes, counting wheels of buttons, how to tie a bow, button a shirt & to tell time the old fashion way!
I suspect I'll have these house shoes forever! I love Ugg boots so I know I'll love these comfy round about slip ons!
Of course New's Years was pretty boring here! But we had Dillan just about the time she was to go to her bed ....The perfect place to drop off your Grandkids on the last day of the year! The young at heart go on to parties and celebrations! We all fell asleep together and in the distance we heard fireworks exploding and going bang.... and we fell asleep welcoming the New Year in our dreams!
