Happy New Year!

I am pleased to share this quilt for a day or two. Made by my dear friend for her pastor. It is a meaningful tribute to the Lord's promise and provision for us!

Thanksgiving!

Thankful DD - born on Turkey Day 17 years ago. We are thankful for and each member of the family and for good friends here to celebrate with us in Oklahoma and across the US. It was such a beautiful day! For our foreign friends who experienced Thanksgiving for the first time - it is a special day to give thanks to God and to acknowledge His blessings!

PS. Was it another earthquake during Thanksgiving cooking yesterday afternoon around 3:11pm? Yes, just a little one 3.7. It rocked enough to feel - but not enough to disturb us much.

Championship Runner up & All Regional 1st team - Go Son! - Go Bison!

Rarely seen (or heard of) accolades for our first born. He usually keeps things pretty private...but his friends posting on Facebook provide a sneak preview of his recent runner-up winnings against AirForce and personal recognition in all tournament team at Intramural Flag Football games in Nebraska this weekend.

Just playing...

It is fun to watch some of the "Peak party" getting started with some play at Heather Harkness Memorial Tourney last weekend. With team work and the power hitting of the coach - they took their division. It was also nice to get to know some really nice vball moms too.

It's a PEAK Volleyball Party!

Club season begins soon. November is a short break before the Spring schedule with tourneys in Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri, and Colorado! Yee Ha! It will be time to eat, sleep and live volleyball. Gotta finish some MAJOR writing before then :)

Another JOLT!

These tremors keep coming even after the damage is done. (See links to local news photos and reports.) I just felt a notable jolt and a moderately loud "crack" like a close thunder clap - but no thunder! Then some low vibrations for a short time. Checked the US Geological Survey Website (now bookmarked!) and yes, another quake 3.6M. All this from my interior office in the windowless basement about 45 minutes ago. Now (approx. 2pm) still more low rumbling... I am starting not to like this!

MORE tremors!!! 4.7 tonight @ 8:46pm

See the entire list - things keep shaking.
