Sunday Funday

This mural is super cute found in Norman, Oklahoma. In fact we actually turned around so I could take a picture with this mural. I have been on a mission to find murals near to me. We seen many murals that we are going to take pictures of in the future.

Barnes  and Noble Bookstore

Going in to this bookstore is like being embraced by a familiar friend. So many books to choose to buy. I want so many of the new releases on a limited budget.  

Who likes a little spice in their books? You better believe I do! I remember years ago my Grandma Pearl said “I don’t need to read an instruction manual on sex.”  She definitely would blush as these spicy books that I have been reading! 

It’s time for Lunch at The Sweet Basil Thai Restaurant. Oh my gosh I really enjoyed the food. I will be going back to try different dishes. Do you enjoy trying different foods?

The decor was cute, exactly how I would have wanted the restaurant to look like in real life. 

Cherrie had sweet and sour stir fry. She went with zero spice.

I had Pineapple fried rice with chicken. Level 4 spice. Somehow I ended up with zero spice level and Cherrie got the spice in her dish.  I had no clue she could not do “heat” in her food.  We’ve been friends well over 30 years and just finding out this info.

Seems like So many restaurants are putting this on their walls. Makes me wonder what the next decor craze will be?  It’s cute and makes for a nice place for pictures.  As many of  you are aware Iam big on pictures. I remember a season in my life I did not take any pictures of myself because of low esteem.  With doing our Sunday Fundays I need pictures even of me! 

After eating we went to Ollie’s for a few things. Found more scrapbook supplies. I spent about $50.00 on supplies.  I do plan on doing a scrapbook haul post soon. I know what I got was well worth the money. I didn’t have many alphabet stickers and bought several packages. Will use them in my journals. 

Crest was our last stop. I had my list, then Brody’s small grocery list. Cherrie is getting groceries as well.  Since her list isn’t as much as mine she will grab items on Brody’s list. Am sure she thought she was doing a scavenger hunt.  

Overall the day was great. Am always grateful that we are able to get out and have these special days. 

 

Rush Springs Watermelon Festival

      Rush Springs Annual Watermelon Festival 

I haven’t been to the Watermelon Festival in many years. This year our grandson Lane is going to be in the Little Tots competition.  So it was worth fighting the crowds to watch him be on stage. 

So we live in the country and when we got to the highway intersection we saw a bad wreck right in front of us. A black car turned into a truck with a stock trailer. It shook me up. It took less than a minute for the police to arrive thankfully as they were at the football field. We continue on to the park and it took us 30 minutes to get to park because of all the traffic.  Keep in mind our small town has normally a little under 1,200 people, during festival day it swells to over 20,000 people.  Then I had a motorcycle that didn’t even look as he pulled out in front of me. Wow!  

Lane on the stage answering his questions and then he sings Jesus loves me. He did amazing on stage.we were all so proud of him. We wasn’t sure how he would do but dang he did so much better than we thought. I was thinking he would freeze up when he seen everyone in the crowd.

Went to see the crafts and goods being offered at the festival. It was getting hot and more crowded as the morning wore on. 

Lane and Landon on the carnival rides Friday. Ignition.

Landon is excited to be driving the car. Love watching how happy the boys were at the carnival.

Lane said the hot air balloon ride was his favorite ride.

Lane got 3 rd place in the Little Tot competition.

After leaving the festival we went to Marlow to eat lunch at Esperanza. 

Chips and dip was served as always. This could be a meal by itself. I always eat way too much of the chips. 

My food was so good had to have the street tacos.  This is our favorite restaurant to eat at that is close to us. The food is always delicious and everyone is so friendly.  We do have to drive to Marlow, Oklahoma but it’s only a 15 minute drive. 

Sunday Funday with Cherrie

Our first stop is Bath and Body. They are having their semi annual sale.  Am looking for a few summer scents for myself. Seems as if I have mainly coconut scents. Need to find some others that I will like using. 

Went to Bison Witches Bar and Grill.  Enjoyed the creative decor of this establishment. The food prices were really good. The food was great as well. We absolutely will be back to eat here. 

Love the painted walls. So bright and colorful. Cherrie is use to me taking her picture on our travels. She does like me to warn her ahead of time,  seems like I will take pictures when she’s eating or at an awkward moment. 

When I see creative art makes me wish that I could draw and paint. My artist skills never developed. My grandma Pearl and Aunt Sandra was amazing artist. 

I really think we need a personal driver. So we can have adult drinks when we are out and about. Someone that would fit our vibe.  

Overall the decor was great and plenty of room for everyone if they got busy. We went on a slower day so we didn’t have to deal with crowds. 

This was my lunch and it was great. Broccoli and cheddar soup in bread bowl with salad. It was delicious. 

Cherrie is eating a sandwich that looks good as well.

Cherrie won’t eat all her food either.  I really should have tried some of her sandwich.

This is definitely more food than I will eat! Yes! Leftovers are coming home with me. 

This is the band area, so very nifty. Love how creative they have went with this bar and grill. 

This is outside and a cool photo opportunity as well.

Cherrie enjoying her moment. That is why we do Sunday Fundays.  We laugh till we nearly pee ourselves. Sometimes we must vent about how the week has gone. Nothing like cleansing out our minds so we can start the upcoming week with positivity. 

 

Seen this on the sidewalk as we walked around downtown Norma.

Enjoyed seeing the sculptures. 

This chocolate shop was delightful. I may have bought way too much chocolate to take home.

All the desserts looked delicious. Was so hard to make up my mind.

So many choices and my inner fat girl said buy it all. Of course I didn’t but found many chocolates I had to buy. It’s really hard with me trying to lose weight but yet I walk into a dessert store. Like I have no common sense. Chocolate is my Kryptonite. That’s my weakness of all foods. 

Would highly recommend my friends to stop by Apple Tree Chocolate when they are in Norman Oklahoma.

 

Had a blast!

Just got back from a weekend away.  I went to Elk City to spend time with Mr. C. Was only going to be 

gone Saturday night and come home Sunday.  That didn't happen, and I ran out of clothes!  I went to Walls which is a store where other stores fills it shelfs with its discontinues, overstock and such.  I found a Catherines shirt regular $45.00 for only $8.99!  It is more like a dress that you wear leggings underneath.  It is totally cool and hip! I stayed in the room alot because the weather was raining and such.  Although I took my dear friend Nancy to eat on her lunch hour.  Hadn't seen her in many months.  I worked on a journal and feel like it is almost completed, that took a huge weight off my shoulders.

When I got home I wasn't to happy Mr. C's son has a sink full of dishes (I will end up washing).  Not sure why he didn't use the throw~away plates...He is 18 he shouldn't be making messes and not cleaning up after himself.  

It is almost time for me to leave for the flower shop!  I can't wait to get there and see what is going to be happening.  I know they were busy yesterday. Tammie called and asked where I was at, she needed me to come in to work.  That would have happened if I hadn't been 2 1/2 hours away from home.

Today has been a long one already because I got up at 4:00 am and won't go to bed till 10pm unless I get everything done before bedtime. 

Can you believe Oklahoma has had 3 Earthquakes over the weekend? My goodness am glad I wasn't home or I would have been scared to death. NO JOKING!! We didn't feel anything at Elk City.  But wehad many calls telling us about them.  It shook our pictures on the walls at the house according to Brody.  I had no ideal Oklahoma even had earthquakes...Now I know different!

Am outta here....got to get to work!! Karen
