Decorating

I've done some recent decorating. The gold sconces I painted with the help of our adoptive Grandma Rusty in Texas. They look great and with the help of my husband they were put up today. I'm thinking of adding some white candles and sponging them with gold.

Wilbur/Austin Family Reunion

Last weekend was the Wilbur/Austin Family Reunion in Norman, OK. It was lots of fun in the summer sun. Wilbur's came from far and wide to attend.
Here's a few pictures of the "HOT" time we had.

Ed & Bro-n-Law Mihaly from Colorado both rubbing the "budda bellies".
(They are both working out to get rid of them.)
Ed's brother Mike from Colorado playing in the lake with the nieces and nephews.

Our cute niece Calli playing in the lake.


All the kids having fun in the lake with Uncle Mike.


The lake was beautiful.


All the families gathering for food and conversation.


The Wilbur/Bock Families waiting to chow down at IHOP!
More of the family.


Our "Green" house

Our house is very "green" this year. This was taken only a few days ago. The flowers we planted when we first moved in are really starting to come in and bloom nicely.
Our house has a new color now, from "winter brown" to "summer green".



Surgery

My mom (Tiffani's) had total knee replacement surgery on her left knee June 1st. This is the picture of when I came down to her rehab that Thursday of that same week. She was only there in rehab one week... thank goodness.
Now she is home doing VERY well.
Before long, she'll be running around the block! (maybe...)

"I see...said the blind man."

Well I'm not blind, but it turns out I do need glasses. I officially have to wear them "as needed", like when driving or any other occassion that might call for me to see distances.
I didn't realize what I couldn't see, until I put the glasses on this afternoon.
So, here I am...now with glasses.

Summer Flowers!

We are glad summer is here!! Now when we come home each day, we have been able to look at these beautiful flowers around our front porch. They add so much vibrant color and
"curb appeal" to our home. We love it!
