Catching Up.......

Yes, this is a "catch up" post.  I haven't shared with you, my sweet readers, about a few things that I KNOW you want to know about. ~chuckle~  So, without further adieu, let me catch you up.........

A couple of weeks ago we went to Oklahoma to see our daughter and her family.  She was on Spring Break so we had a little Mother/daughter time.  We went to one of our favorite places, Inspirations Tea Room, in Edmond, for brunch one morning.  They have the best quiche I have ever eaten in my life.  And, it's a cute shop as well. We browsed through and found a couple of items we decided we couldn't live without.

They had some of the cutest signs, the one above made me chuckle.

And, this sign says such truth!

And, Poppa and this little guy enjoyed some time on the golf course.  I'm not even sure how Clancy could even hit a golf ball because the wind was blowing soooo hard.  I get so tired of the wind in Oklahoma and it's especially bad in March.

And, this little guy had to endure a shopping trip with his CiCi and Momma.  But, playing on the IPad made it a little more doable for Coleman and for us as well. ~giggle~

Last week Hanna Beth stayed with me a few days during her Spring Break.  She had asked me a couple of  weeks before if we could go shopping while she was with me.  She has never asked this and I was plum excited to tell her that I'd love to take her shopping.  We have a new "tween boutique" in our area (for the locals, it's Uptown Girl) and that's where we headed.  It makes it really, really hard when everything she tried on looked so stinkin' cute on her.  So, needless to say, we left with a nice bagful.  I'm thinking it was probably the first of many shopping trips for me and my Princess.

And, here is my Princess with her little sister on Easter.  Aren't they the cutest?  An added note:
I have had a few bloggers inquire as to why my sweet Gran girls faces are always covered when I post their pictures.  Their parents do not wish for them to have the exposure to the internet and I will always honor their wishes.  So, now you know. ~smile~

We enjoyed Easter lunch with friends.  We had our family Easter on Good Friday so they invited us to have lunch with them and two of their family members.  Everything was perfectly gorgeous and we enjoyed good food and fabulous fellowship.  It doesn't get much better!

This is our daughter (2nd from left) with her teaching team in Oklahoma.  They are participating in the teacher walk out in hopes of getting a pay raise that will move them from next to the lowest pay scale in the nation.  Hundreds of teachers from across Oklahoma are gathering at the state capitol for a polite protest.  I am sure hoping that the "powers that be" get their heads together SOON and give these hard working folks the raise they deserve.
