Choctaw...

Couldn't go to Oklahoma without stopping by Choctaw on the way home.... Didn't win, but didn't lose too much. Had a great time as always!

Fobb, Oklahoma...

As planned, Danny and I returned to

Fobb, Oklahoma on Saturday to see the

Catfish Races.... Just to give you an idea on

the set up....

Shoots are aboveRace track aboveHolding tanks with fish names

Now for the funny part.... It seems that someone decided to put tap water in the holding tanks and the race track, of 9 catfish, only 2 were still alive when we got there. Once was clearly not bothered by the water, the other went into the shute, swan about a foot, and turned back to the shute. Maybe next time we'll see more! Not many people can say they have been to a Catfish Race, so it was worth the beautiful trip to Oklahoma.....

Dang what a storm!!!!

DANG what a storm yesterday afternoon!

A few pictures of the aftermath are below.

Broken limb on a tree which is beside our driveway.

The house survived, but everything on the patio
was NOT in the same place it should have been. Please notice that my
Topsy Turvy tomato plants made it thru! Tons of stuff in the pool!
Curved part of the patio by our pool is where two lounge chairs normally sit.
The chairs are now out by the tallest tree you can see behind our garage!

Broke the boot planter that I have had for several years,
and the other thing you can see is a fire pit that is
very heavy. Good news is Danny, the kids and I are safe
and sound. Oh, and Lily, Duke and Dex too!

8 Wisdom Teeth!

Chelsey and Colby had the pleasure of having their wisdom teeth

extracted today. Colby's doing great, hungry as usual. Chelsey

is not doing so hot. She's having pain and just not feeling well.

Just talked to the Dentist again, and he said to put warm water

on a small tea bag and put it on the side that hurts. She opted for

another pain pill and an ice pack first. Tea bag will be next, if she's not better soon. We shall see what the night brings!

Actual teeth. Chelsey's on the left (multiple pieces)

and Colby's on the right.
Colby making it to the car with THREE people
making sure he didn't fall!
He was OUT like a light....
Chelsey had a little rougher time..

Chelsey enjoyed the IV induced sleep!

I'm sure I'll add an update or two before this is over!

Off to make two milkshakes...

Road Trip...

Danny and I set out mid afternoon for a Jeep Road Trip. He asked, "Where shall we go?" My reply? "Surprise me....." So, we took off on Preston Road headed North to Gunter, cut over West to Tioga and then North on 377. Drove around Lake Texoma for a bit. Where did we end up? Madill, Oklahoma...

Here are a few photos:

We're going back to see this next weekend!

A bar we stopped at,

just over the Oklahoma border,

home of the catfish races!

The name of this place was worth taking a picture of the sign,
the crushed cars are below.
Madill Courthouse

Least we can say we've been there!

Cowboys Stadium

First of all NO, we didn't go see George Strait:

After much hype and a bizillion dollars, the new Cowboys Stadium finally opened Saturday night with King George, Reba, and a few more... I managed to be in the area a couple of times during construction of the monsterous place, and it's a site to be hold. Can't wait to be INSIDE for a Cowboys game in the future! Or better yet, a Celina State Football Game... :-)

Too bad It's not called DALLAS Cowboy Stadium... As far as I'm concerned, two former Mayors of Dallas caused that BIG mistake!

Update on Topsy Turvy progress

Very pleased to report that the Topsy Turvy fad appears to have not been a waste of money! We actually have a couple of little green tomatoes in progress!
