Tearing down the roof

Back on March 14, 2025 Oklahoma had high winds of 75 mph.  It totally rolled up the back part of our roof.  Unfortunately we have a high deductible.  Then factor in depreciation making the insurance payment not much at all. I went ahead and took out a loan to cover the cost of the roof.  Truthfully we badly needed a new roof. The last roof we had was 2017.  They didn’t do us right they ended up adding on top of the two layers making a total of three layers of shingles. WTH?  Which made it hard to find us an insurance to cover the roof.  A hard lesson to learn $10,00 dollars later.

Looks like a big mess but am trusting the process. This crew seems motivated and they are friendly fellows.  They work fast and equally hard.  

We already know this trailer is going to leave lots of ruts in our yard.  We have had lots of rain the last several months.  But that will be okay, will work on the ruts once roof is on house.  I am also going to work on making my rock garden pretty.  Haven’t done that project in several years.  

In addition to getting the new roof, we will be painting the house. We are leaning toward a darkish gray with blue undertones.  We are going to paint everything the same color this go around.  I will say if I don’t like it I will go back and paint the small trim a different color.  We currently do not like the color we have on the house and shop at all. So it’s time to make changes.  

 

Brooks T~Ball game

My grandson Brooks last T~Ball game.  He really has improved from the start of the season. I can tell he was done for the season. 

I’m not a hat kind of girl,but it’s hot today. Don’t need to burn my face, especially as I am getting older. Definitely need to protect myself. Plus the pain of a sunburn isn’t something I want to deal with if at possible.

Was nice to visit with Blake,Jessica, Hattie and John & Sheey.  In fact today is John’s birthday!  Was surprised to see them at the ballpark.

Brittany and Emily outdid themselves on the food table. I love the fresh fruits and meat tray items. 

The treat table was so cute with this backdrop.

Chickasha Wings & Wheels

This is my 2nd time to attend the Chickasha Air and car show.  Brenda my cousin went with me. We really had a great time walking around looking at the planes, cars and vendors.  My favorite is always the fun little freebies they give out.  This year I got a charger, 2 totes, color changing cup, ink pens, koozies, and some literature for my journals. 

This would be great for a few of my grandchildren to do. Next year I think I will see who wants to attend with me. Am sure Angel and Wesley would enjoy the airplane ride. 

Absolutely my favorite car this time around. 

I tell Luther he should make his truck a hooky truck for car shows.  Our main hold back would be the funds.  It would be quite a bit of money to get it car shows ready.

I a. Always thrown by the big vehicles the Grady County Sheriff Department has in their fleet. 

Planes are everywhere.  It’s hard to just pick out a few favorites. So I a. Including the ones that caught my eye. 

This plane has a lot of history behind it. Devil Dog Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force.

The Doolittle Raid 

The Doolittle raiders strike Japan April 18, 1942.

Blended Love food truck was our choice for lunch. Brenda and I both ate the jambalaya with a piece of  fried chicken.  The flavors was good with the right amount of spicy.  The real question is would I eat from this food truck again? Yes I would if I was wanting Nigerian Creole food.

I really enjoyed the air show.  It’s amazing the trucks these pilots can do up in the sky.  I won’t lie I was impressed when it looked like they were headed straight to the scene of the crash and pulled up. The 6 planes flying in formation was great. I have seen scenes on TV but never in real life.  

This air show was definitely worth attending.  Especially for it being a free event for the community. I have already put it my planner for next year.  I’m really proud of Chickasha Oklahoma on the events they do thru the year.

 

Brody turns 32!

Elizabeth and Charles sure setting up the room for Brody’s birthday party.  Brody wanted Pizza Hut.  We had the private room which gave Lane and Landon room to wander around freely.  Elizabeth brought coloring books and transformers for the boys activities. 

I must say the noise blowers was Lanes favorite. 

Alisha and Jonathan. They always show up if possible. They have the longest drive. 

Elizabeth and Charles standing up. Savannah is sitting with us.

Mr. C enjoying the birthday celebration. 

Brody loves to fish.  The birthday cake Elizabeth and boys designed is perfect. Lane at first said he wanted his dad to have a Superman cake. Then said his daddy loved to fish.

Overall the evening celebration was great.  Lots of laughter along with memories being shared. I am so proud of Brody and the life he is building for himself and his family. Happy birthday Brody! 

 

Lane T~Ball pictures

Emily did a great job on Lane’s pictures.  I am going to print them out for our photo album.  

This is my favorite photo of Lane with his bat.
