Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jog!!

Good Friday Morning!
Well my friends, I made it back home Wednesday from spending almost 3 weeks with my daughter Michele and seeing and spending time with our son, Jamie for a couple of days while he was out in Phoenix! I had a really, really wonderful and fun time!! I got to see and go to so many neat places, and do alot of neat things and also got to try my hand at shooting a handgun at a shooting range there in Phoenix, which I've shared pictures of on my sidebar.. I didn't do too bad for being my first time shooting a gun! My daughter, both sons and husband have all been after me for sometime now to go to a shooting range with them and learn how to shoot a gun. I always shyed my way out of doing so.. Michele finally held my hand the whole way to the shooting range and got me to finally decide to do so, which, I'll never regret doing, that's for sure! I only wish now that I had gone to one sooner, but am glad that I have now and I am looking forward to when I can go again with my family. I think it is very important for everyone to know how to defend themselves, as one just never knows if and when that time might come that they'd have to do so.

My hubby picked me up from the Will Rogers airport on Wednesday and then we went out for supper at our favorite Chinese restaurant and then we came home. Then yesterday, we needed to do a couple of errands and then we had lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant! It's amazing how one can miss their favorite restaurants they like to cater to a bunch while they are traveling away.. I definately love my favorite Mexican and Chinese restaurants here in OKC!

While being with Michele and with Jamie, we went out several times to really neat places to eat too! Whether we went out to eat or ate snacks at Jamie's motel or ate meals & snacks at Michele's, or ate at restaurants while traveling to different places with Michele, all the food was sooo good no matter where we were at when we ate it!! Michele and I did eat at a wonderful BBQ place there in Phoenix called BobbyQ's. Talk about delish!! This was the first time that I've ever ate BBQ and didn't leave with a real heavy BBQ taste throughout my mouth! I highly recommend this place to everyone!! The atmosphere was real pretty and the waiters and waitresses were very nice too! Thanks for taking me there Shel!! I loved it!!

Now, to get back into the swing of things..which has already been hard for me to do. I did get my two suitcases all unpacked and the items all put away, which is a real good start! I told my Hubby that I must be having jet lag!! Wonder how long that lasts??? He did a real good job at holding the fort down, and keeping it cleaned and neat while I was gone too!! I like that, as then I don't have to jump right into lots of things needing done when I first get home, which means a whole bunch to this lady!

I had a good flight home too! I met a real nice lady named Maggie, who lives in California, and who was flying into OKC and then was going to pick up a rental car and then drive to Kansas (4 hr. drive) to see her Mom. She was going to visit with her Mom till next Monday. She was soo sweet! Maggie was very understanding too, when I had those big 'ol teardrops falling down my cheeks while the airplane was turning and getting ready to leave the Sky Harbor Airport. It was hard for me knowing that I was leaving my daughter behind there, and especially when I'm not sure when we'll get together again!! It had been eight months since I last saw her before this last time here. That's a long time! I'm hoping to make it not quite that long in between times that we see each other the next time we get together if I possibly can! With her being a traveling nurse, she doesn't get any time off to go visit with her family at all really, unless she is working someplace close to them, like she was when I visited both her and Jamie when they both were in California..Jamie was living in Soledad, and Michele was working & staying in Fresno..

I tried downloading my pictures to my computer, but...for some unknown reason it wouldn't work. I will have to check with my son Daniel and see if he can help figure it out for me. Hopefully we'll be able to get together sometime over the weekend here if he doesn't have to work.

You all have a great weekend!! Take care now!

Blessings,
