I had Friday and Monday off last week
so it made for a nice 4 day weekend. I managed to get quite a few things done
that I had been wanting to do. I got my seeds started in homemade pots made out
of newspapers. Got more tree debris picked up out of the back yard from
where
we had it cut down. We had a good day of rain on Tuesday, the storms that were
to develop didn't and we are thankful, but it did bring some very cold air in
so I had to break out some of my sweaters to wear for a few days.
The two Linda’s
texted to see if we wanted to see a movie. Of course! We were game and met them
at the Hollywood Theatre here in Norman to see "Identity
Theft" with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy,

hilarious! She
is one funny lady. Afterwards we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and to catch
up with the girls and their adventures. Dave and the Linda's had meals from the
breakfast menu but since it was Friday I had the Friday Fish Fry. I swear that
I am getting catfish instead of the Cod that I order, third time in a row. But
I digress...Both of the girls had Lasik surgery last year and are doing well.
One of the Linda's is going to have to have a touch up for her astigmatism
though. She was telling us about an internship that she got to the White
Violet Center for Eco-Justice for next fall; it sounds great and
such an opportunity for her. I know she will enjoy it and take away many
wonderful experiences and memories. After dinner we sat out on the front porch
of Cracker Barrel and had more of our questions answered about full-timing and
working out on the road.

It was getting late
and we had to get back to the house and feed the troops and let them out for a
potty break. They too had to get back to their rig to let Boomer out as well.
Doggies can hold it only so long and then...well you get the drift.
The Linda's moved out of the area
Thursday and up the highway about 25 miles to Oklahoma City and the Twin
Fountains RV Park. to work there for two weeks. We will see them
again before they leave the area and head west.
About three weeks ago
we met a couple out watching for the comet. Maggie and John Thompson are a
delightful couple our age who sold their home and have moved into an RV Park
west of Norman. We met up with them on Sunday and had dinner at Cheddars here
in Norman.
John is semi-retired and will fully retire in a couple of years. He
works for a company that makes and fits braces on existing limbs. Maggie is
retired from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center but has a
therapy dog named Bailey which she takes up to the hospital and makes the
rounds in the Adult care section. Bailey is a Morkie (Maltese and Yorkie mix).
They have another Morkie, April who is just a youngster and a real cutie pie.
We had a delightful time talking and dinner was wonderful. They brought their
iPad to show us some of the pictures of their Alaska trip. Wow what a wonderful
trip and wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing you two. We plan to hook up
again.
