Hey there
Campers;
The weather
is always a story in itself in OK. Since
it was a cooler day, and the wind was blowing lightly, I decided to take my
walk early. I started on the road next to Barbie's house.
It is not a paved road, but has gravel and white stuff. Rex told me later that
the white stuff is gypsum. You know that is what sheet rock if made from. It
was a started of as a beautiful walk. I got to see many birds. (No MJT I do not
know what kind of birds they were. I just knew they were birds and could fly.) There
were beautiful horse near the road. They looked at me and I at them. Both
thinking it is going to be a hot day. The difference is I did not have any fly's
circling me. As I was walking I noticed
that the wind was picking up and moving this dirt around. I did not think
anything about this and kept walking. When I got to my half way marked and
turned around the wind was coming at me at 45 MPH. I thought no problem I can
deal with this. Boy was this ever not true. Whenever a car would pass me they
kicked up more dirt. I got smart and started to stand behind telephone poles
until the dust settled. OK, Oklahoma telephones poles don't seem to be as large as those in
Cally. So you ask telephone poles??? Yes
this is country living not the city. Lots of poles.
The trash
company was picking of trash so it was not only dusty but smelly. I kept
trudging on. The wind really started to kick up and some got in my left eye.
Yes, I had sunglasses on but you know how dirt is, it will find it's way in to
many areas you don't want it to. Most of you do not know that I wear a contact in my left eye for reading. So this created a problem. I could not take
the contact out while the wind was blowing. So I had to walk back the last mile
with my left eye closed looking like a bandit. You remember getting that speck
in your eye that feels like a box of sawdust. Oh the joys of walking.
Trust me. I
put my walking in high gear and made it back in record time and fixed that eye. I am wearing glasses now.
Later in the
afternoon, we took the kids swimming. Barbie and the kids had great fun. Think
about the special days you had with your Grandmother.
You know you are in the country when you are on the freeway with a harvester truck. It was blocking both lanes of traffic. That was OK idea of traffic jam. Oh we Cally people should be so privileged.
We took the kids back to OK City. Before we went to dinner we stopped off at Sara's mom's house to pick up Nick, Becky & Mike. Luke & Eli decided to challenge their dad to a quick game of basketball.
We went out to dinner with everyone but Sara. We hope to see her in Osh Kosh. Thank you Barbie, Rex, Nick, Luke, Eli, Becky & Mike for showing us a good time.
Well, until next time Campers.....

Oklahoma Sooners? Bad guess. Thunder
ReplyDeleteThey have a basketball team!?!
ReplyDeleteI'm no help on this one.
Also, yuck to getting gypsum dust and crud in your contacts. Maybe the next Sam's you park in will have those little "Refresh" individual eye drops - I carry those everywhere for just this reason. Sand feels like a boulder in your eye.
