Hello new friends; Good-bye Tammy

We jumped up this morning and got ready to go out on Highway 62 to find a good place to meet online/blogging friend Peggy Bullock and husband Bill.  It has rained a lot during the night and more this morning. While we were driving around, it was still cloudy.A.M.Beautiful horses along our search route.on 24th St - Brushy CreekThis goat was part of a goat farm.  Yes, this is a goat, Snookie.goatWe also found a steakhouse off the beaten path that is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.  The price of the meal also includes a ride in a horse drawn carriage around the countryside.  Doesn't that sound like fun?!!  Sounds like a Date Night to us.

It seemed that Braum's in Newcastle was the best place to meet Peggy and Bill as there was a huge parking lot behind the restaurant for their 40 foot Cardinal and truck.  I was tickled to see that Peggy had driven from Duncan, OK and was driving when we parted.  After our sandwiches, Bill, Peggy and I needed uh, desired wanted .... needed dessert.  Don caught me trying to make a decision as to which flavor I needed.  I settled on one scoop of pomegranate sherbet (delicious) and one of peanut butter cup.  Don had a strawberry shake with his burger, thus, the reason he was at the table with the camera.choosing my ice cream while Peggy Bullock watchesThe hour with Bill and Peggy passed so quickly.  As Peggy said, "We could have gabbed all afternoon" but they needed to be on their way.Bill and Peggy Bullock at Braum's in Newcastle, OKOld friends we just met and we are making plans to spend more time together when we both return to Arizona in the Fall.  Can't wait! Since Snookie and Bob will have more free time this year, we will have to all do something together. OOOOOO, I can't wait!  Thanks to Snookie for introducing me to Peggy!!Bill and Peggy Bullock at Braum's in Newcastle, OKBye for now, Peggy and Bill... drive safely and God bless you until we meet again.See y'all later, Peggy and BillWe made our way to Mama Trudy's to spend the afternoon with she and Tammy before taking Tammy to the airport.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, but more important, thanks for the time spent with us! Do we look happy - you bet. Eating & laughing with friends! Fun picture - I always wondered what we looked like going down the road/over a bridge!!! LOL
Beautiful Roses! I could almost smell the yellow ones!
Can't wait 'til next winter. Geeze - I haven't even gotten "home" yet!
