Baby Shower for Sophie,

Savannah is absolutely gorgeous 

The gifts are all in pretty bags.

Goodie table and Diaper raffle game.


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.  

Lane, Charles and Mr.C.

Jonathan and Alisha came down to Celebrate with us.

Here we are with the expecting parents.

We bought a pink high chair, 7 outfits, 2 packages of diapers, Aveno lotion, a fan for the stroller, book for baby and a mauve baby blanket.

 

Chickasha Wheels & 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!

Kiva Loan

 So today I had email that I had money in my Kiva account. Was $28.00 and that is enough to make a new $25.00 loan.  Went looking for the “perfect person” to lend the funds, finally settled on a country I hadn’t loaned to before.  I also tend to loan to women entrepreneurs.  

This loan would be no different. Her name is Saikhanzaya from Mongolia. She will use her loan to invest in essential equipment for her ice cream business.  In Asia 86% of people surveyed were able were able to manage there finances as a result of their loan.

Kiva expands financial access to help underserved communities thrive. This is my first loan to lend for 2025. But hope to loan at least 4 more loans this year.  I normally wait till I have $25.00 repaid and use that to fund a new loan.  Which means I keep my original loan rolling over to keep helping others. 

My 1st loan I made was March 21 2012. Have made 36 loans to 31 countries. Am wanting to try to make loans to as many countries as possible. I have also made several loans here in USA. Will try to loan to someone in USA at least once a year.  The total amount loaned is $885.00.  

If you haven’t checked out Kiva go check out their website.  I also donate $4.00 or more for every loan I make, which is tax deductible.
