I returned home last night from my Oklahoma City, totally exhausted from a fun-filled weekend. How is it possible that the weekend flew by so quickly?
MY plane landed in OKC late Friday afternoon and I was met at the airport by three of my very favorite people in the world: Stacy, Keri, and Muriel. We checked me into my hotel, then headed over to Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, where Mary, Courtney, and Laura were waiting for us and we had a very yummy leisurely dinner. The place was packed and we were lucky to be put into a private room.The food was fantastic! I’ll be sure to watch Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives this weekend, because Cattlemen’s Steakhouse is one of the featured eateries on this episode.
On Friday morning we headed out to the National Cowboy Museum — here we are:
Here’s just Muriel and me with a full view of the statue:
The rest of the weekend was spent at SWAK in the City: classes, a party, and just all-round yarny fun!
Here is the one photo I took:
Oklahoma sunrise!
On Saturday night a bunch of us headed over to Muriel’s house for good food, margaritas, knitting, and a whole lot of laughing.
Here’s Muriel and me under a tree outside her house. I love seeing the leaves change!
I had such a wonderful time, but was happy to return home to my sweet Lucy. Today she’s been staring out the window:
This is what she looked like when I left the house on Thursday:
While I was away, it turned into autumn here. The view out my window:
