26 years later Amy, Brooke and I met again. It was so much fun to learn what had been happening all these years. I did not think I would ever see those gals again. I am so glad I found them. They sat us up for a night in the most beautiful hotel in OKC in the middle of Bricktown.... and we looked at old photo albums, went dancing, played pool and ordered room service and drank chocolate wine. Chocolate wine????? I had not ever heard of it before then. We plan to stay in touch and make more effort to visit each other now that we have found one another. It was a blast from the past ..It was also emotional to say bye again to the girls... They are some sweet Okie girls with hearts of gold..
John Gabe Jack and I also spent much time with Grandma Gay and Aunt Teresa. We took boat ride through the bricktown river, took the kids to Cabelas where they bought play rifles. Gabe taught Jack to climb the tree in her front yard and Grandma made chocolate shakes all weekend for them. Grandma and I had many heart to heart talks , more than our usual, but then again my life has not been so usual the last few months.. We drove to Rush Springs for a day to Joe's farm and orchard.. The boys hiked through the woods and pretended to hunt. Grandma house is small and so I slept on a twin bed and the boys slept on couch and a blow up mattress..It was not easy on the bones or my only nerve but every morning we woke to that woman frying bacon, with your choice to either pancakes or eggs. John enjoyed this immensely because that does not happen here at our home EVERY morning...I told my grandma I could make my own toast and she simply told me ....Honey let me serve you, I don't get to see you often enough and I'm not good at much but I know God made me good at serving people...Bless her heart she has made a life out of serving everyone but some for far too long... Her birthday is Thursday and she loves to get flowers and I try every year to make sure she gets some..I got a huge bouquet of Peruvian Lillie's from us to be delivered tomorrow..Ill post some pics tomorrow of her from our trip..
