Virginia Bound....

This little guy in his Eskimo Joe's sweatshirt............is not happy. He had to end his Spring Break and fly back to Virginia. He asked if he could stay in Tulsa and just go to school with his cousins..........All the way back he complained how much he missed "everybody in Tulsa"....Even the teenage girl claimed that "Charlottesville is so boring and my life would be better in Tulsa"..... I at first was perplexed by these comments, but then remembered having to leave my own Grandparent's houses after long visits and feeling the same way...........everybody thinks life is better somewhere else..... I told E. that happiness has to come from within, not from a place.....she just looked at me.........I really am still trying to learn that myself.... Am reading Beth Moore's book about being in the Pit...and getting out of it...I really recommend it......

Last Day

We spent our last day in Oklahoma with my parents. The weather had cleared........no more tornadoes..........and the sun was bright in Mom's great room. They are so peaceful out on their farm. They are retired and do whatever they want to do.....all day long. Mom made a roast for lunch...........as if it was a Sunday and not a Friday...........they read, they work in their gardens.........and they go to their Grandkid's sporting events.............I'm ready for retirement myself.

Tulsa Shopping.........

....really is the best.........but even shoppers have to take a break and rest.

My Sister and My Daughter...........

.....are two peas in a pod. Any time I tried to take their picture, they would cover their faces and scream, "We don't want to be on your blog!!!".......then my sister grabbed my camera and took a picture of me ...............I proudly posed......she said I wouldn't put it on here............back at ya Scarlet!!!!

Neices and Nephews are the BEST!

No Pics., but lots of Tornadoes

I can't get pictures to load right now. We woke up at 2:30 AM to the tornado sirens going off..........very scary... but the tornadoes went to the North of us. Then later in the morning, I heard a horrible crash....J. and my nephew Z. were throwing a ball in the house and knocked a very heavy frame off the dresser........................needless to say, Z. had to have 4 staples in his head...........we are all exhausted from no sleep and trauma from the accident. I am sure Scarlet will be glad when the Poe's are back in Virginia...................She is very gracious to us though and will host us again tonight........then we will go to my Mom's and stay a few nights till we go home. No word on my Grandfather...........

Oklahoma Visit

Today we went to E's softball game..................sports are so serious out here even for little kids......she has 3 games this week. She was the catcher...so cute.
