TIME FLIES

Has it really been almost a month since I last wrote? And so much has happened. I guess that is why I haven't found the time to share my stories.
First the cats, I need to tell you that we found a good home for our two cats. Animal loving people with 2 children. Out in the country with chickens, a goat, a horse and I do not know what else. They were excited and so were we.But I kind of expected it: one came back to the house while we were gone. She had a choice, go back to her adopted home or be an outside cat. She wants to stay and be an outdoor cat. So far that has worked well. My allergies are much better. The doctor says that my sinuses are as bad or worse after 2 months of anti-biotic and my next option is surgery. I feel much better and the coughing is much less so needless to say I don't consider surgery an option right now. I am taking allergy shots once a week and we will see how that is going to work. Our second cat also left it's adoption home but has yet to show up. We hope she is alive and well at someones house. If that is the case I am OK with that. Just hope she is not still wondering around or got hurt. Time will tell.

Last week Wednesday we left for a 5 day trip to Oklahoma for Bob's 50Th class reunion.
We spend the first night in Dallas with Bob's brother Bill and his wife Lynette. Always fun and we love to stay with them. On Thursday we left for Oklahoma City. On the way we stopped at the home of one of Bob's fraternity brothers.Three other fraternity brothers and their wives joined us at Joe and Kathi's beautiful home and we enjoyed a wonderful Mexican lunch. Kathi trains horses and is an artist, among many other talents and is a most interesting person. From there we drove into Oklahoma City and spend the evening and the night with an old friend of Bob. I had met them before and was looking forward to seeing them again. It happened to be my birthday that day and they took us to a great restaurant to celebrate. They even popped a bottle of champagne for the occasion. It was a most memorable birthday.
On Friday we drove to Tulsa where the class reunion was and visited some longtime friends of Bob, Carol and Randall White. That evening was the cocktail party and Carol and Randall decided to join us. It was held outdoors at the airport. Weather was great and Bob visited with many of his old classmates. On Saturday morning we went to his old high school for an assembly. Lots of jokes, stories and skits. For lunch we were the guests of Marian and Chuck Yaden at their country club. Great lunch with the best baked potato soup I have ever tasted. I am hoping Marian can talk the chef into giving me his recipe. Saturday night was the big dance and dinner party at another country club. The food was fabulous and we had a great time. No dancing for us. We don't dance well together and the dance floor was far to crowded. We always plan to take dance lessons after a night like that and we never get around to it. I would love to be a good dancer. So maybe some day we will. On Sunday we were of to the lake with the whole clan and had a light lunch before we got on the road home. I think it was a great reunion for Bob and a great opportunity for me to get to know his friends better.
Today we decided to finish our front porch. We tiled it 2 weeks ago and had to put the grout on. That is a hard job. On your knees for several hours and scrubbing and wiping up a storm. Wore my knees and arms out. I will know it tomorrow. But there is always Ibuprofen. The porch looks great and now I can put my plants back on it to make it look finished. Little by little we will finish this house.
No pictures this time, I will do better on that next time.
