Cats like Sardines - It's Sharing 518!

That was a scary night!! Seeing Okemah on national radars was weird. Thankfully my family was safe as well.

Friday evening late, we got a call that my husband's mom was having a stroke. We rushed over to the Cape hospital and while driving had alerted some of my family and his to start praying. When we got there, they had no idea what happened, but couldn't find anything new wrong in her brain. She even felt perfectly fine, so we took her home to her house (she had been camping over in Marble Hill area in MO) so she could rest since it was such a long drive back to her campground. We got home about 2:30am, then went back at 11am to pick her up and take her back to her truck and friends.

Our pup got to swim in the Castor River for the first time swimming ever. She LOVED the water. I wish I could show you guys the video of her swimming, because she's not an Olympic dog swimmer, but she had a blast! LOL. Her paddle is hilarious.

Morning all.

I had to take my mom to the hospital Monday morning, way too early, so that she could have a procedure done. It took all day today for me to "sort of" recover.

Today was hubby's birthday. I didn't even make him a cake since we don't need to be eating it.

Morning. Man Not a lot to say lately. Slightly overwhelmed by this season of life- between the normal job, church "job" and ministry, and Chey graduating in just 13 days I feel like a deer in headlights. On a busy freeway. In New York City.

Times like this I reach down and remember a dream I had as a child when I was overwhelmed by circumstances out of my control. In the dream, a giant man in a glowing white robe brushed my brown and simply said "This too shall pass". It was so vivid...and my mama swore I'd seen an angel when I told her. Maybe it was. His words were true- it passed. And so shall this season. It may pass like a dog passing a peach seed- but it'll pass.

I ended up making hubby a pound cake today, after all.

[Lynx]

Yay for cake!

[Roscoe]

Good morning. It is raining again here. Got to do some home visits, then a list of things to do this weekend. Hope all is well for everyone here..

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Went to a couple garage sales today. Didn't find much.

[Lynx]

 In the words of my noble and illustrious ancestors - YEEEEEEHAW!

Tuesday I went by the salvage grocery to see if there was anything interesting lying around. They had pint jars of tomato hummus for a buck a piece. I got all eleven.

Today I popped 'round to see if they had anything neat. They had 17 more jars of hummus. They don't got 'em no more.

[Roscoe]

Two days. I guess GP is truly dead not. Everyone is so busy now....

[The Purple Fuzzy]

 
We've had tons of rain. The rivers out of its banks. My yard is soggy. I have nothing much interesting going on.

[Nelle]

@Work.

I'm taking off Friday this week, so only four days of captivity. I'm considering taking Monday off as well. Trying to get some things done at the house before the husband & pup go on their trip and my mom comes into town. Got LOTS to do.

It's supposed to rain here pretty much all week it feels like. I know spring rain is necessary, but goodness..

[MsJennJenn]

Was on PTO last week. That's why I haven't been here. lol
Went to Indiana Sat-Wed to meet my new nephew. Came home and have been sick ever since. Sigh. I'm so tired of coughing.

[Roscoe]

Hi. Yes, everything here is soaked too.
Lord, what a busy week. I may have a brief respite this Saturday- then it's off to the races again. Next week will be killer- Sunday services, Monday to Fort Smith to take a church member to a dr appointment, then Tuesday Chey's graduation, then Friday is something, then Saturday graduation party... then back to Sunday services.
And in there somewhere I have a ton to do at the house on Chey's apartment and nursing home/ rehab visits I NEED to make. To say nothing about planting my poor window boxes, and my yard maintenance...

Apparently, God's view is, "Oh, he can rest when I call him home"

So, you're making Chet an apartment at your house? Or elsewhere?

[Roscoe]

So, you're making Chet an apartment at your house? Or elsewhere?

Yeah, behind our house- about ten feet from the back door- was a screened in patio of around 450 square feet. Dad converted it when he was alive to an apartment, but when he passed, I "de-converted it" back to a garage. Now I have it closed back in and am redoing it for Chey. It'll have a small living room area probably 9x12, a bedroom, a kitchenette- fridge, sink microwave and stove with a few cabinets- and a bath. Actually, a three-quarter bath I guess- shower, toilet, and sink.
It'll be a bit more than the tiny house living craze but not much. Since most of the work was already done, I just need time to frame up two interior walls, sheetrock, paint and freshen up everything.
It'll give her some independence while she is in college and still be under Daddy's wing.

 Morning, all. Back at work. It's cloudy, I tried new technology and ordered breakfast by McDonald's app. Picked up my order, the first window didn't give me my receipt- strike one. The second window, the woman gave me the food but no drink, then stared at me like I was a problem, until I finally tapped on the glass and asked if I could have my drink. No apology, no nothing but still seemed to think I was the issue.. Strike 2. And I take a sip- it's diet coke, not diet Dr Pepper, my most unfavorite. Strike Three.
 But the  steak bagel was delicious as always,

[Nelle]

I guess I'm going to spend the whole day repeating 2 Timothy 1:7. Storms with tornado potential make me SO nervous. Today we are expecting some violent storms. Praying they are as meek as the lions in the den with David.

I am at work until 430 unless something crazy happens. Then I'll be driving home in it.

As a McD's employee... Don't even get me started on that stupid app.

I think word has done got out about steak and bagels being back. We've been getting a LOT of requests for a side of bagel sauce, the best part of a steak bagel and delicious to dunk a hash brown in.

Yeah. You can just get a side of bagel sauce. You oughta try it.

[MsJennJenn]

I was about to say since when can you get a steak bagel at Mcd LOL

I use apps on my phone for a LOT. Pretty much any bill I have I pay via an app.... But I get the frustration on them too. Some of them are so awful to navigate.

Well.... hubbs' DM told him to apply into the Ardmore OK open store director position. So hopefully this means he's FINALLY getting his promotion. We'll just have to move to Ardmore LOL. Sigh. Having to move again in under a year sounds absolutely awful. I have too many plants.

[Roscoe]

Texas....Oklahoma.... so close to the promised land. 
 Morning all. Plugging through another day.

[mini]

I know Ardmore!  Good place, with lots of beautiful old homes.  We have offices there, and I'm down there a couple of times a year.

A couple of good churches in the area too.

[Nelle]

We survived the marathon storm day! I'm tired BUT I'm off tomorrow still... so, I'll just try to sleep in tomorrow for a minute.
