It's been quite a while since I have blogged, so I was impelled to give an update! A lot of water has gone under the bridge and we have really been busy here at 1416 Holly. The house is pretty much ready for company - and just in time! We will be having about 24 relatives for thanksgiving celebration. About the only thing in the way right now is all of those vehicles in the back yard. The Casita and truck are still waiting to be sold. I think that they are going to sell separate and I will put the solar on top of our shed to provide power for my "workshop" and the lawnmower. It will also be able to run the refrigerator in case of a power outage - which is sure to happen in rural OK. The tent like structure that you see in the picture is a temporary carport that we will use until the landscaping is done and the "real" carport is installed. We celebrated our 55th anniversary by going to Outback in Norman and then on to the "old homestead" to play games with the grandkids.

Two of our dearest friends, Dave and Arda Tole, came to visit Monday and Tuesday, on their way north to Chicago and Grand Rapids. We had a great time sharing BBQ at Smokin' Joes and playing games. We hope to have many more visitors from our Arlington, Noble, and Escapee friends. Call us and tell us you are coming - we'll leave the light on for you - and as you can see there is lots of parking in our front yard.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I'm going to head out to start geocaching Sulphur.
