I’m curious how many kids these days get to shoot off fireworks themselves. I’m not going to tell my exact age, but when I was a kid, my parents let us use our allowance money to buy as many firecrackers, bottle rockets (that may give you a hint of my age), and smoke bombs as… Continue reading Kids Shooting Off Fireworks

Lake Weekend Planning
If you had to tell me to pack up for the lake every weekend, I wouldn’t be mad! I absolutely love the lake. I love the water, the peaceful sounds, the community, and the slower pace of life. It’s one of those places where the everyday responsibilities seem to fade for a little while. Of… Continue reading Lake Weekend Planning

Spring Break In The 90’s
My spring break my senior year of high school was so exciting! I can still remember so much about that trip, even though it was over 30 years ago! Three of my girlfriends and I were going to Dallas for spring break! You might think, wow, you only went to Dallas? Yes, wow, we got to go to Dallas! We were from a tiny small town in Kansas of about two thousand people. We all played volleyball together for our high school so we had left the county to go play other schools but other than that we really hadn’t left our small town. One of the girl’s aunts lived in Dallas and we were going to drive there all by ourselves and stay two nights with her. I literally remember crossing the Red River and seeing the sign saying Welcome To Texas and the big flag with the Texas Star flying!
I Grew Up In A Small Town
Then it was time for some family fun off to the Cedar Creek Golf Course for a few rounds at the driving range. Buckets of balls and lots of laughs. It’s a fantastic stop, even for beginners or teens.
Oklahoma Road Trip
This past weekend, I had the absolute joy of taking my widow’s group from church called the Gals That Gather on a special road trip adventure! We boarded a chartered bus in Ada, full of laughter and excitement, and made our way to Krebs, Oklahoma, for a delicious meal at the famous Pete’s Place. It… Continue reading Oklahoma Road Trip

When I Started Grade School
From when I started grade school there were about six of us girls that hung out throughout our grade school years and all through high school I graduated with 48 people in my class so we all knew each other well! But our 7th grade year was my favorite year because we were each going… Continue reading When I Started Grade School
