This Week

This week has been more active than I expected. This is Wednesday and we have walked every day although I wasn't up to snuff and just walked about half a mile. Ellen did the whole 30 minutes. This week we walked at Hunter Park next to the Creek Nation Toll Road, around the apartment complex and today walked on the west side of LaFortune Park. It's a good place to walk with lots of shade and the west side is fairly flat so I don't have to go up and down the hills no matter so slight.
After we got back from our walk, it rained for about an hour and a half which was very welcome. The weather man says the rest of the week will be dry and warmer. Tomorrow Ellen and I will work in the Food Bank in the morning.
Ellen will take care of Ryan in the afternoon so Cole can help get ready the "Just Between Friends" sale at the Fair Grounds. I will work with another volunteer from church in the Food bank Thursday afternoon. This mission touches many lives and I hope to make it more evangelistic with some "God bless you's" and some printed material telling the recepients of God's love and desire for them. Stone has been in school this week but I haven't heard how it is going.

DOINS

This morning was pretty busy. Started at 7:30 walking the east side of LaFortune Park from the library to 61st street and back to the library. Lots of walkers and joggers out in the cool of the morning. Saw a few jogging groups of 10 to 20 people. Lafortune has a number of walking trails around the golf course and some are shaded. We walk most mornings besides Sunday. This was our second walk at laFortune.

After the walk we went to the Savoy Cafe on S. Sheridan for breakfast. The Savoy used to be downtown. We burned about 200 calories walking and added about 500 in biscuits and gravy. Oh well.

Next we went to Philbrook Museum and spent the rest of the morning looking at the art exhibits. Philbrook was donated to the City of Tulsa by oil man Waite Phillips, brother to Phillips 66 founders Frank and L. E. Phillips. Probably one of the largest and most plush residences in Tulsa.

After Philbrook we went to the Walmart Superstore on S. Lewis for groceries and then home to collapse from 4 - 6 P M.

Tomorrow is Sunday. After morning worship we may go to the Olive Garden for lunch and spend the last of the gift cards we got for leaving Skiatook. Some people will go to any expense to get rid of you (lol) We have really enjoyed the gift cards and cherish the memories of all the friends who thought of us when we moved.

Next week is pretty empty so far. Stone starts to pre/pre/k Monday so we won't get to take care of him on Fridays until next summer. Maybe he'll be kicked out of school and we will be able to have him again. (lol) I hope he enjoys going to school but it's a thought.

Thursday afternoon I am scheduled to work at the church Food Bank. It's a good work that helps around 150 to 200 families a week who are in need of food. Each family that comes in gets two grocery bags full of dried and canned food to help them get by.

ME AND THE BOYS

MY TWO(GRAND)SONS




For those of you who don't have Facebook, here's a shot of Stone, Me & Ryan taken 08-14-09 at our apartment. We have been keeping Stone every Friday for some time but he will begin school Monday. Cole and Ryan came over to play with Stone yesterday afternoon. Stone couldn't wait all morning. It was a real blast to watch them play together.
