May already!

The picture on the blog tonight is one Don took of me last week after we’d walked. You can tell I’m all red from the heat of the walk. Some days are hotter than others. Check out the hair! My driver’s license picture doesn’t have much more hair than this! This time of year it’s hard to judge about the heat. If we get up and walk early I get chilly, so we like to wait until later, but then it sometimes gets so hot! We win some and lose some, but we walk regardless.

Today we are in route to OKC for Don’s reunion. I’m writing this ahead in anticipation of what we will be doing, then saving it so that we can post it from OKC. We’re staying at our son’s place in Norman. His home is in Wichita Falls, but he bought a business in Norman in January, so he moved there and stays during the week. On weekends he goes to wherever Bruce’s games are or home if Bruce isn’t playing that weekend. Anyway, we will be seeing his place in Norman for the first time and we’ll be staying there for the weekend even though Davy will be going home to Wichita Falls. We’ll visit with him tomorrow night. Then Friday he will show Don all around the business and I’m going to OKC with Trish to see Raynie’s cleft team; they’re planning her surgery date we think. I’ll report about all that when we get home next week. After Erica graduates next year, Davy and Susan and Bruce will move to Norman and Erica will go to college at Stillwater.

Today we are also stopping by to visit briefly with a dear couple who live in Norman. She and I are great email friends, but we love each other in person, too. She knows someone everywhere I go and she is a tremendous prayer warrior. Her husband writes a wonderful devotional every week and she types it for him and posts it to the Internet. He’s a retired Baptist minister/missionary and she sings like Ann Murray. What a powerful couple they are. We look forward to a quick visit with them. God has blessed us to know them since we first moved to Hobart; they were doing an interim ministry here at that time. This will be a fun day! I hope yours is, too!
