Wow! This has been a busy couple of weeks! We celebrated two birthdays, had a grandson stay with us for a weekend, and visited several neat places. I’ll tell you later about the newest addition to our house, that I’m in LOVE with.
Our youngest grandson, Isaac, celebrated his 3rd birthday on August 13th. We celebrated then and also at his party on the weekend. He received everything possibly made with PJ Masks . He is really in to Cat Boy. Just a month or so ago, everything was Paw Patrol. Now we’re on to PJ Masks. He had a great party, with both sets of grandparents and his cousins, plus lots of other friends. We were delighted to have Liam, our oldest grandchild, to stay with us for that weekend.
My birthday was on Aug. 15th. Dick and I went to the Kimball Art Museum, to see the exhibit of “Monet..the Later Years”. Oh. my. gosh. It was fabulous! I told Dick that I wanted one of the paintings of either the Japanese Bridge that went over his lily pond, or one of his bigger paintings with beautiful pastel colors. My sister, Toni Wood, who is the marketing director for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, in KC, told me that I really deserved one of those! But she also said that one of Monet’s paintings sold for $85 Million, and the most recent one sold for $110 million. OK…we bought the coasters instead.
This weekend, we went for a weekend at Winstar….a major casino, just across the OK/TX boarder. We had two free nights. We spent Saturday morning and afternoon driving to Sulphur, OK, where the Chickasaw National Recreation Area is located. It was great. Dick did some hiking on one of their many trails. There were lots of water things happening, with little falls, springs, places to swim and go tubing. There were enough campground spots for half of Ft. Worth. We also saw buffalo. I will spare you the buffalo poop photo that I sent to my grandkids. LOL I’d recommend this place to anyone who loves nature. We ended that trip by going to the Bedre candy factory.
I have some silly grandkids! They wanted me to take photos of them with their tongues sticking out. Why do kids always want their tongues sticking out in pictures???? Can you tell which one just finished eating blue ice cream?
And now…my new household item! My son-in-law, Nathan, had been to Lowe’s. He found an LG Dishwasher, that had a tiny dent on it, that had been $900 and was on sale for $200. He called and said “Get down here fast, if you want it!” We went and there was another guy who wanted the same machine. After hemhawing back and forth for awhile, he suggested we flip a coin. We won!!! I feel really guilty, but OHHHH I love this dishwasher! My old one was so noisy we had to turn the TV up really loud. This one, you can barely hear it. Life is Good.
How has your week been? Do anything exciting? We have two weeks and then we go on a cruise. I can hardly wait. Are you all done with any trips?
Have a good week,
Grandma Sherry
