32nd Anniversary

Today is my anniversary, and we are having a rather quiet day at home after a very nice trip to OK City. We kicked around The City on Thursday and Friday. We played pool and drank a couple of beers at the Bricktown Brewery. Many of our first dates were playing pool, drinking beer, and scootin' a boot. It is amazing how it all comes back to you when you get that pool stick in your hand. We ate at Chelinos, because we love Mexican food. Then we went to the Red Hawks game. Toby had seats near third base, on row two. I could reach out and touch the players - it was great. The evening was a bit warm, but occasionally we got a nice breeze. I really had a great time. Toby used Hotwire to get us a room at the Crowne Plaza. Through the years, he has been known to find some real doozie hotels - what he calls knife and gun hotels - where if you don't have a knife or gun the hotel provides one for you. But the Crowne Plaza was very nice, and I was very tired and slept like a rock.

Friday we did some shopping and then went to the Prix de West. It is an excellent show this year, if you get to see it. We had lunch at Ted's, which is the best Mexican food in OK as far as I know - unless you are eating at my house. We got home in time for a short nap before we had to help Jesse rig the boat to go to the lake with her friends. We launched the boat and then sat around and visited with the young people in the evening shade. Jesse made a couple of runs across the lake with Lindz and Kat.

But as the evening wore on, there was not much wind and Toby had to tow the cat with the kayak. Before we left the kids, I took this photo of Jes and her friends.

I thought it looked so peaceful with the girls around the kayak in the setting sun. It reminded me of when the girls were younger and spent so much time together.

Although I took my camera on our little trip, I forgot to take any pictures in OK City. I only got the few at the lake. Today we did some much needed yard work and then rested. We had plans on eating with the GGs tonight, but that may not happen after all. Jesse posted a nice photo for our anniversary.
