Oooooklahoma!

I love singing that song when we're out here visiting my father-in-law in Oklahoma!

We had a tough time getting here, but we're doing OK now.  We left home the day after that huge storm hit the northeast.  All the flights out of Philadelphia had been cancelled the day before we left, so the Philly airport was crazy!  Plus, we still had 50 mph winds, so many flights, including ours, were delayed.  We spent 10 hours in airports and airplanes Monday and finally got to the house about 1 am (2 am our time!).  A very long day.

As expected, we suffered some fall-out from that long day.  Poor Jamie was horribly crashed on Tuesday - stayed in bed and read all day.  Jamie brought 4 books with him and has finished all of them already!  I managed OK through the day but then had a killer headache at night - possibly the worst of my life, the kind that makes you feel sick all over.

Today was much better.  We're all rested and enjoying being here.  Today we went to Pop's, a very cool shop on historic Route 66 that sells...pop!  All flavors from all over the world.  We picked out a mixed 6-pack of some great flavors and had lunch there.  We finally had the energy to play some games tonight, and even got my FIL to play with us for the first time in years!  The whole family played Skip-Bo, then Jamie smeared me in dominoes.  Ken, his Dad, and the boys are now enjoying watching the Oklahoma State Cowboys football game.

It's always nice and quiet and relaxing here, so that's good.  I'm enjoying the break and reading a lot.  Hope you're all enjoying this quiet week, too!
