HOW DOES THAT GO HOME SWEET.........?????

Okay here I go for those that know me know I was born and raised an Oklie and that's okay. Because it's who I am. After venturing off for a few years and two children I knew Ok was were I wanted to be and for the most part I loved it all. It's all a long story around 30 years on the same corner a mile from my parents which was good because I wanted my kids to have grandparents which they had good ones. I had 3 different homes on that corner there was lots of good times and memories my life was there I had lots of trees bushes flowers plants and rocks that I loved. Yes things change. Even though I left 6 years ago always in my heart I felt I still had a home there were if need be I could come home to. I was wrong things change in an instant without warning. I had been told by all my dear children not to go back. But I never listened to well booked a flight and after the flight had been book the place I thought was home was sold. Not sure why there must of been a reason but my point being I thought I was going home if I would of known what was to happen before I arrived I WOULD NEVER GONE BACK I'm not really in to setting myself up for heartache and yes my heart is so broken at this point I don't understand it really doesn't matter I guess thats not true it does matter. the hard part is that there is no way to talk about So I will do as I've been taught don't try to figure it out because it makes no since just go on like nothing happened right no big deal but I did take some pictures and lots of memories are there that can never be taken away. Here some pics of two evergreen trees in the back yard I had planted them thinking what a good wind break they would make they were 15 to 20 tall and that made me happy to see the one on the right is a tree that was a christmas tree one year I remember planting that thing in some cold weather and frozen ground. the one on the left was a little seedling that came from mammas house alot of my things came from her. When she sold her house she was so afraid no one would take care of them so I dug up about 500 lbs of bulbs trees plants a rose bush that she and my aunt Pauline had crossed but Mark Shank killed that years ago but there is still the rose bush that was on the east side of her house I put it on the east side of my house it had 1st belonged to her mother I wish I would of saved it for her but I didn't I did get some of the blue morning glory seeds that were Mary Reding growing at the base of the rose bush it was pretty the red roses and the blue morning glories. the old lilac bush the original was gone but it had shot off runners before I left which I let grow. that lilac bush was over 50 years old when I moved there and two of the three pine trees that he girls planted in girl scouts I had planted in pots in hope that one day each one would have their pine tree.at their homes and the mimosa trees that came up in the dirt from Mammas so pretty. Okay maybe I feel better not really I will post more about OKLA just wanted to share the chistmas tree with those that might care. I will get over this I'm just having a hard time understanding all of it so I'm not even going to try and the timing could not of been worse but I know now I was wrong none of that was ever even mine wasn't my home at all. thanks for the memories home sweet......??????

this is for you ganny I forgot I had taken pictures already we took it in his project room guess he should of turned around for a back veiw

My best friend Paula

In life it's hard to find a true blue friend. Well I'm one of those blessed people to have a true blue friend and I just love this girl. We met 25 years or so ago. We were neighbors raised our kids together we went though good times we went through bad times and if we had not of had each other we would probably would not of survived. It's has been an adventure for sure. One I would never trade it away that's for sure and there is no regrets. Expect for the distance we have between us. We are kindred spirits we are sisters and mistaken for sisters many times. It's to hard to put into words but this past week I got to see my sis. It was so good to see her I worry so much about her she's just not at the best healthy state so our time was limited on what we could do. Just trying to have time to talk. But with Andy there 24/7 our time was interrupted everyday so we did make an escape to the country to hide from all it was a nice sunny day for a ride on the john deer 4 wheeler fun time happy moments small talk flower picking a ride in the woods eating possum grapes seeing cows viewing the wide open spaces the clean air remembering when these wide open spaces was home. We both realized the place we thought was our homes really never were really ours even though we thought it was we both but hard work in both places and some things there are beautiful things we left behind.Funny thing is no one else sees that we left our treasures behind or I'm guessing they really don't care cause they just can't see the beauty. That's the sad parts but here some pics of me and my friend on our outing. Wish it hadn't wore you out Paula so we could of ventured out two days.

OK HERE IT GOES TRIP TO OKLA

I don't think we looked like locals any more with our photo shoot going on in front of Roy's at noon glad we had a parking space in front so we could get the sign I did notice a few strange looks we had 3 cameras so lots of shots but if they only knew what it's like not to have Roy's maybe they would understand I love you Roy's BQQ if they would let you take a gallon of fluid on the plane I would of got a gallon or two

lunch at roy's at this point all they had brought was the bread and hot sauce

I think Stockton even enjoyed the bread but once they brought the food I forgot to take pictures I did get Jerry's ad for the maize with Isac Troy was trying to figure out what to order he didn't have a clue but to me it was the best Went once by myself it was good to see that Roy himself and his wife Clair both still there Clair had her beans on the counter sorting out the bad ones and the daughter it was nice to be remembered and welcomed with so much love. wonderful food it's all in the sauce you know.

My Daughter in law
