Wed-Monday morning

I never dreamed when I started this blog that I would not have Internet connection for so many days. It is easier to blog on a daily basis. I have forgotten what we did on Wednesday until now; just teasing. We arrived at our friend Marilyn's house Wednesday evening and she treated us to Golden Corral, which we enjoyed very much. Her friend "Coon Tail Charlie" sings karaoke, so we enjoyed hearing him and Marilyn sing. Jerry and I actually did karaoke singing "Blessed Assurance". Her daughter is named after me. You will see a picture of us together.

Thursday afternoon we traveled to Carnegie, OK (my home town). We visited my Daddy & Mother's graves and bought an arrangement at the florist to have it placed on their graves for Memorial Day. We went by their old house and took a picture. We ate at a very small place in town "Georgia's". Carnegie has just about deteriorated to nothing, so there is hardly a place in town to eat. The food was very good. We went to my cousin Loyd and Colleen Vance's house for the afternoon and night. My cousin Letha and her husband Herman ate supper with us. Letha is Loyd's sister. They were leaving the very next day for Maryland where their grandchildren were graduating. We had a delicious homemade Mexican chicken casserole plus many other dishes including fresh strawberry pie.

My childhood friends, Beverly and Sherriell happened to be in town. They were having to put their mother in a nursing home. She is 93. Beverly lives in San Antonio and Sherriell in Bethany, OK. They are twins. We have been friends since eighth grade. They came to Loyd and Colleen's and we had such a good visit.

Friday morning we headed for Borger, TX, where my Aunt Beulah lives. We stopped in Clinton, OK and visited my niece, Penny. We got to be with her and her husband and daughter for about three hours. They treated us to lunch in town. They have an RV business. Right behind their business is their beautiful home. We got to take a tour of it and you can enjoy the pictures.
We arrived in Borger around 5:00 pm. It was my cousins birthday so we celebrated by eating out at a Mexican Restaurant. My aunt is 88. She is my mother's last living sibling. It was so wonderful getting to be with her. It gave me such a feeling of being near my mother.

Saturday we headed for Winter Park, CO. We arrived around 8:00. When we got to our condo we were horrified to find that it had not been cleaned. It wasn't horrible, but definitely not what you want. After several phone calls we were able to have excess to the linens and were able to change to clean sheets. Someone was suppose to come clean on Sunday but they didn't arrive until this morning. Needless to say our vacation became less expensive. I guess you get the idea.

Sunday we were able to watch both our church's services via the web. That was such a privilege.

Can you believe it? We saw the old Model T's on Hwy. 66 while traveling in Oklahoma. I could hardly believe my eyes.

That was too long of a blog. Hopefully it wasn't too boring.
