We left Thursday midmorning to head south to Oklahoma City. My sister's house is the "gathering" place for my other sister and brothers this weekend. It has been probably about 2 years since we have all (5) of us have been together. Since we had the time off for the weekend and my other sister and bro-in-law from Alabama were at Texoma fishing, we made some quick plans to meet at her house for the weekend.
It took us about 3 hours to drive to OKC and the traffic wasn't bad until we got to almost downtown Tulsa where they are doing major construction where I-40 and 244 meet. Then it was a little hectic but sailing through it we got on the turnpike and headed west.
It was great seeing my sister again and about 20 min. later my sister and b/l arrived. We sat around for the rest of the afternoon and evening and just visited.... we really didn't do anything much that morning except more visiting and chatting.... After lunch we went to an Antique mall and then made a quick trip through Kohl's. By that time my brother from KC arrived so we went back home. My sister in law stayed home with their dog who had been sick. He looks great as he has had some major health issues lately and is slowing regaining his health.
So we visited some more and then my nephew called his dad to say he was at the Swift terminal and could come over. We hadn't seen him for 5 years since my mother's funeral. More sitting around and chatting ...... it was relaxing and we had a great time!
Saturday morning we all got up and around and of course sat around the kitchen table and visited some more and around 10:30 my brother from Salina arrived. My sister in law stayed home with their sick fish and a new puppy....
So more visiting and catching up on everyone's lives .... lunch time came quickly.... we left around 1:30 and headed back to Coffeyville..... It was a great weekend and passed all too quickly..... we hope to be able to do it again next Oct. but we just aren't sure of our plans yet. No idea right now! The rest left this am.
This morning Bill and I went to church and a stop at Walmart..... we came home and I started laundry and Bill watched football most of the day.... not very exciting but we need to get things ready for tomorrow... Our friends, Jerry and Rita, who we met last year here at Amazon came by to tell us their schedule. It was nice visiting with them.... but was disappointed to learn they will be on nights and a different shift and in shipping...hopefully we will be able to get together sometime during our days off together..... While they were here we received a phone call from Amazon that Bill is to report at 6 and I am to go in at 9 AM. We work until 4:30 each day this week...so far! Guess the product is going to Phoenix as they are opening a new site and it's going there while Campbellsville, Kentucky and us are waiting to go...... stay tuned!
That's about it for now.....
Take care!
Until next time!
