Kyndall loves her gymnastics.

Am so glad Mellisa sent me this picture of Kyndall. She just put her in gymnastics a few weeks ago.  Kyndall loves tumbling as much as chatting with the other girls. When we FaceTime she shows me what she has learned.  She’s very talented and wants to learn everything she can about gymnastics.

Clifford soccer game

My grandson is playing soccer this year. He seemed to really enjoy it. I can’t wait to see how he learns and  grows with this sport.  I personally know nothing about soccer so it’s going to be interesting for me to learn as well.  



Clifford did really good. This is his first year doing sports. Am proud of Michelle putting him into sports.

Go Clifford go!  I have always heard that keeping kids in sports is good as it keeps them out of trouble.  It also is helping with learning how to do teamwork. Hope to watch as many games as possible.  Clifford was so excited to see me!

Trying TicTok food places

Today was all about having girls day out.  Cherrie and I went to Lawton Oklahoma. Our first stop was Home Depot to get flooring for Cherrie’s bathroom.  Our main reason for driving over to Lawton.  We then wanted to try the S & B burger joint.  It’s been here for years but never stopped in to eat. Oh my goodness it was so good. Our waitress was phenomenal. The decorations was great.  


I will always be a rock and roll girl. Especially graduating in 1985.  Loved all the big hair bands. Of course I like the older artist as well. 

Cherrie and I enjoy laughing and just talking about a little of everything.  Everyone needs a good friend in their life that just gets them. She is my person.


This burger was extremely good. 

Cherrie ordered the bacon Mac and cheese to go with her food. It was very favorable

Our next stop is dirty dough to pick up dessert.  Another find from watching Tic Tok. 


I couldn’t make up my mind so I got the four pack. My favorite was the mint chocolate cookie. Mint chocolate has always been one of my favorite flavors.  The cookie was extremely sweet and filled with goodness.  Can’t wait to try different flavors. 
Our day was fun and relaxing.  I hope to try different local spots near me during the coming months. I’m really working on romanticizing my life this season.  Making my normal life a bit more interesting and special.

Three Appleteers

Cherrie came across a delightful store on TikTok, that offers candid apples and peach pies. It also offers drinks as well. 


The tea cup inspired boost design is a lovely touch. The vibrant colors of the booths make the area look more festive.

Cherrie hates for me to take her picture, but I still do.  I did not know till today that she was a big Alice in Wonderland fan.  We have been friends for years.   I also have always enjoyed Alice in Wonderland so coming here was a great plan. 

They sure had a great vision when they put this store together. Wish I had taken more pictures of the store. 

I enjoyed looking at the decorations.  Everything just flowed together. Not sure who had this vision but they hit it out of the ballpark. 



Cute tea and coffee station.

The Alice in Wonderland theme is skillfully executed, creating a whimsical and charming atmosphere. 

The strawberry wafer candied apple  was both sweet and electable. Additionally, I bought a caramel peach pie that was indulgently sweet.
As a small family owned business, The Appleteers is likely to outgrow its current location soon.Notably, the store was filled to capacity during my Sunday visit.

March is here!


March is here in full swing.  I have started making plans for road trips and fun outings.  I am determined to keep exploring fun things in Oklahoma.  
Tic Toc has been a great source of unique things to see in OKC.  I have sent several ideals to my BFF Cherrie so we can see what interest us the most. Many might involve drinks and food. 
The Crimson Melt is a foodie grill cheese and Milkshake experience.  The food looks so yummy.  I can’t wait to try Mckinnley Mint Chip. (Mint Cookie Crumble) mint ice cream, whipped cream, mint cookie crumbs. I think that could be my new favorite.
Sherri’s Diner it has a 1960 vibe with the nostalgic decor complete with a jukebox.  This is going to be a fun place to eat and enjoy a jukebox.
We may not do everything on my list, but helps us to figure out fun places to go. I am all about doing different kinds of places. My life is pretty simple so am wanting to do a few interesting things each month. 
Am ready to see the flowers bloom and sit out under the starry night. Want to enjoy what spring brings us.

Mr C’s 61st birthday party

Happy birthday to my love.  He is born on leap year.  Mr.C doesn’t really enjoy the limelight on himself.  I like giving him a special day for all he does for me. 

We got him great gifts.  Alisha and Jonathan got him Hey Dudes. Brody and Savannah got him a small tackle box & gift card.  Elizabeth & Charles got him some moonshine from their last cruise. I ordered him a larger tackle box. 

We grilled steaks, hotdogs, hamburgers for the occasion.  Also made potato salad, baked beans, and pineapple upside cake.


I had been wanting to make this cake for awhile. I had forgot how easy it was to make. 

Alisha loves her daddy.


Brody had bought his dad a triple chocolate birthday cake.  It was so good.

Leaving for Watford City North Dakota!

I am so excited about going to Watford City ND!  Can’t wait to see the newest grandchild Liam.  Kyndall sure has missed her Nana. 
I got to airport 2 hours early like it says to do.  I think I could have got there only a hour ahead and been just fine.  But I didn’t want to risk not getting to my destination.  

I always take a picture of where my vehicle is parked.  I remember years ago of parking at Denver’s airport parking and not finding car for 30 minutes or so.  Was on wrong level.  I vowed then that I would not do that again.  Some life lessons we have to learn the hard way. 

My layover is in Minneapolis.  When I seen how huge the airport was from the plane I got scared I wouldn’t make the connecting flight.  Thank goodness the gate was only 2 gates from where I debarked.  My layover was only 30 minutes so it could have been pretty intense if the new gate was on opposite side of the airport.   The plane was so small, as Mr. C would say a sardine can.  The one good thing is this flight was not full.  My seat ate Ricardo was extremely nice and we had a great visit.  He also was going to visit his grandchildren. As many of you might know I never meet a stranger. 
The best part of the trip is Trevor and Mellissa took Kyndall out of school and surprised both of us.  I was so happy to see everyone.
