Random Picture from Fall Tailgating

Kaitlyn sent me these pictures the other day that she had in her camera. They are from a tailgating party last fall.  It was a game I did not go to.

Florida Vacation

Here's some pictures from our trip to Siesta Key, FL last week.  This was the view from our balcony. We stayed in the same place we stayed last year only this year we were on the 4th floor. Last year we were on the 10th.  The view from the 4th floor is still pretty good; however these were looking through the screen on the porch.

The next couple of pictures were made at restaurants.  The one below was made at one of our favorite places - The Old Salty Dog.  The second picture was made at our "new" favorite place we found in Longboat Key - The Starfish Company - just a place on the docks where you're served the catch of the day - PERFECT!!



Everyday we picked up our chairs at the sea wall and set up camp on the beach.  We had to buy umbrellas (which we shipped back home).  We would stay out there most of the day.

This picture was made at another of our favorite restaurant/bars - Gilligan's Island.

Las Vegas!!!

Joe went to Las Vegas for a CFO (chief financial officer) conference last weekend and I tagged along.  We fly out there on Wednesday and returned Saturday night.  The conference was at The Bellagio and that's where we stayed.  Very nice.  This was a view from our room on the 28th floor looking west toward the Red Rock canyons.



Saturday, to burn some time before our return late afternoon flight, we drove out to Red Rock Canyons and went through the park.  Here were some rock climbers.



One night we went and ate at Hard Rock Cafe (we have eaten at ones in various states). Anyway they made us walk across the red carpet and took our picture. We were going "really? Do we have to?"  But the picture actually turned out pretty good so Joe bought it.



More pictures from our room.



This is Chiluly glass art that is in the ceiling of the lobby of the hotel.  Oklahoma City has a huge Chiluly glass art exhibition at the OKC Museum of Art.

I also went down to The Mirage to go into the Kardashian Khaos store.  I bought Kristen a shot glass.  The girls (and I) like to watch Keeping Up With the Kardashian's on TV.



Another view of the pool.





May Happenings

While I was in Spartanburg, Joe went turkey hunting with one of his friends in Southwest Oklahoma.  He got him a turkey - so I guess we are set for Thanksgiving.

 Last Saturday night, we went over to a friend's house to watch a Thunder playoff game.  I tried to take a picture of the "supermoon" but I really didn't think it was that big.  I've seen it a LOT bigger before.  I think in other parts of the world it did look bigger, just not here in Oklahoma.  After the Thunder won the game over the Dallas Mavericks in a "sweep" the boys had to get brooms and act silly.

I also purchased some yarn while in Spartanburg and I'm set up to make another moebius cowl.  I'm going to work on this one while I'm in Las Vegas this coming week.

40th High School Reunion - April 27-28

The weekend of April 26-30, I came home to Spartanburg for my 40th high school reunion.  I had a great time and I enjoyed visiting with my family too.  I just got my group picture in the mail today.  I'm sitting on the front row right behind the fire pit.  I think the final total for that night was 190 people from our class of over 900 showed up. I felt good when I received several emails on Facebook that I looked very good, didn't look my age but looked 10-15 years younger than everyone else, and that everyone enjoyed watching me dance.  Great motivation to keep doing what I'm doing.

April Happenings

 A couple of weeks ago, I got in my sewing room and decided to go through my patterns and get them organized. I cleared out one drawer of the chest and put just COSTUME patterns in there. Whatever you want to be I probably have the pattern for it.

Got some new cowboy boots!

Joe, pretending to be a Mexican.

Last Friday, we had a tornado come through Norman - very close to our house but even closer to my office. This car dealership sits right in front of our office.  They closed the street off because of the electric/telephone poles that snapped off.



This apartment complex is located a half-block down from our office.  The roof came off and I don't think they are going to repair.  These apartments have been here since I've lived in Norman (30 years).

 
 Our church decorated for Easter. You can't see the Cross covered in lilies very well from my angle.  There were lilies across the front of the church too. I had one put on the altar for Macky.

Bird's Nests with jelly bean eggs

I made Audrey a little apron with the left over material I had from the outfit I made her. The apron in reversible.

Cupcake shirt and rag tutu skirt

My first attempt at applique.




Yesterday I went to a Zumbathon with one of my friends from church. The fundraiser was for Cystic Fibrosis.  I had a great time.  I love Zumba! 

 



 



Today was our annual Prayer Shawl Ministry tea.  Everyone was waiting to see what I would come up with this year.  I fooled them, I did NOT make my fascinator. I found one at Hancock's Fabrics about 3 months ago on sale.  We always have so much fun with our PSM group.
