It’s just another day. NOT!!

My birthday day started out with a few clouds.  We were on our way to the VA clinic in OKC at 7:30 this morning and out before 10:00.  Don was due for his annual blood work, doctor’s visit, etc.100_1368

By 10:45, the clouds were clearing out and Don was very hungry, because of fasting for blood work, so we stopped at Jimmy’s Round-Up Cafe.100_1369

After breakfast/lunch we did some driving around to see what the storms had done.  We are amazed at how quickly things have been cleaned up.  We did see a lot of “blue-tarped” roofs.

This is Lake Thunderbird where a recent tornado went right across forming a water spout.  I bet it was a red water spout.  Can you tell that water from red dirt creeks and rivers flows into this lake?100_1370

This evening, my sweet husband took me to Charleston’s for dinner.  My choice: chicken picata with asparagus, artichoke, diced tomatoes in a lemon butter caper sauce; served with mashed lightly garlic red potatoes.  Really delicious.  We shared a hot upside down pineapple cake a la mode for desert.  Yes… to your question.

Many thanks to all who sent happy birthday wishes.  At 8:00 PM, I am now officially 61 years young!

With so much attention today, I needed to read this quote (amen) by an unknown author:

A heart that is focused on others will not be consumed with self.

So glad you had a wonderful birthday. Nothing but the best for the bestest friend in the whole world! Donna sure hasn't changed any in the last year. Rick is going to get a fishing license here in WA. They say the walleye are great. I know if he catches any he will rub it in to Don. LOL! Miss and Love you guys. Stay safe.
