And Finally We Meet

Okay, so I thought about writing something profound since I posted a link for the CB's to check out (and we all know ya'll are just too flippin' smart). But truth is - I'm not profound. I have nothing of interest to say. Zip, Zilch, Nada. Wait. I have one profound thing to say before ya'll check out the pics - Don't eat the yellow snow. And now that I've got that out of the way, I thought I'd share a few pics with every one.


OK, that's me, dee and Marcia in OK (left to right). And while it was great getting together, it was also a learning experience. Did you know that NO PICTURES CAN BE TAKEN IN THE TULSA MALL? Yeah, we didn't either, and then we were threatened by the security guard as dee's poor child tried to take our picture. And all I can say to this is - "Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Security Guards." Because you give 'em a fake badge and that little bit of power corrupts. It's all good though, we walked the three feet to the out of doors and took our pictures. Heavens forbid ya'll see that chicken places store front. (And no comments about my glasses - I HAD to wear them, I can't see road signs without them.) And my hand is up because we were laughing - I was looking down, and you know - DON'T LOOK DOWN!!!!!

This pic is of my girl Jo (the one accosted by the Rent-a-Cop). Jo is dee's, but I think I'll steal her. I wanted to keep her, unfortunately, dee and Shane would have vetoed that quicker than you can say Crusie, so I had to send her back with them. Silly little thing called parental rights.


This pic is of Emile, Miss Beautiful and Mags. MB is mine, Emile and Maggie are dee's. Aren't they three of the most beautiful girls you have ever seen in your life?! It astounded The Hubs and I, but Mags and MB could have been twins! And, they got along famously. It really is unfair to the world that three such beautiful faces have been spawned.

This is Gret. She wasn't too thrilled that I was taking her pic, especially when I told her any pics I took were likely to end up on the net. You see, when dee and her WONDERFUL family got into KS they were ready for the break, as they had been driving all night. But she looks every bit as gorgeous as she is - tired or not.
This handsome young man is Michael (I would say Mike, but I just cannot do the hand gesture online). What a difference a year makes, No? Bear (my son) looks up to Michael. Bear thinks Michael hung the moon. Thanks Michael. I was hoping Bear would wait at least until he was 10 to do the Skater/Rocker hair thing, but he wants to do it NOW, just like Michael ;). And you know what? I can't think of anyone better in the world for Bear to look up to.
And this is Matthew. He doesn't know it yet, but he wormed his sweet little self into my heart. Matthew was a bit more reserved than the other kids. And though I didn't think it possible, I love him more for it. Matthew is the strong silent type. Matthew is going to break too many hearts to counts. Matthew is a doll. I think we'll keep him.

So, dee and I finally meeting was WONDERFUL. We were re-modeling our bathroom on the day VA came to KS, but dee's family didn't look down on us at all. Our house is small, needs many improvements, half of it was stuffed into the other half, and they never made a comment. In fact, Shane hopped right in and helped and the kids hopped right in like they always had been there (they didn't know it, but they always had been there if only in my heart).

Take Care

P.S. Seriously, I don't think my complexion is that red, must have been my cell phone.
