Back home in Oklahoma

Went to Oklahoma this weekend to celebrate an early Christmas with my family. My 2 year old daughter, who has embraced this whole "Christmas thing", got to see her first snow. She looked out the window, called it "messy", and told Grandma that we needed to vacuum the yard!

Anyway...I got my "fix" by seeing a B.C.Clark commerical. Ahhh, the memories of growing up in small, southwestern Oklahoma. I realize can hear the jingle anytime on the Internet, but there's just something about the commerical ending and Linda Cavanaugh or Gary England coming on next!

I sincerely hope everyone is having a blessed holiday season!

And don't forget to cheer for OU in the Fiesta Bowl! ;)

Yep, shorts & sweatshirt, 55 degrees melting the 3/4" snow & ice that fell the night before.

Didn't Will Rogers say that if you didn't like the weather in OK, just wait a few minutes? :lol2:

I stood outside til my skin was red and my nose was numb and ran back in and made hot cocoa!!! WOOOHOOO. If it weren't for the palm trees and the ocean in my back yard I would think I was back in Oklahoma.....

Here I go resuscitating this thread...

Spent last weekend in OK. Dropped the toddler off with g-parents in the Lawton area and headed to OKC for an overnight "date". We stayed in Moore and went to the new Warren Theater. Oh my!! Has anyone seen that thing? (And Texans think they've got the market cornered on "BIG"...)

And another thing...what's the new "Healthplex" that Norman Regional is building on the west side of I-35? Goodness...it looks huge, too!

Luv my Sooner State!
