Dad Sends Some Pictures 2-25-09

I was talking to my mom a week or so ago and she was telling me how long her hair was. She is letting it grow and then she is going to get it cut and donate it to that organization that makes wigs for kids and folks that have cancer. Mom said the color was no problem as they can dye the hair. So I asked her to send me some pictures as I have never seen her with long hair as usually she has it pinned up when I go up to Michigan. So on 2-19-09 my dad sent me the following pictures with some bonus pics added on. Scroll on down and have a look see and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURES.







Here is a picture of Mom with her hair as I usually see it. I imagine this picture was taken at Kensington Park. I believe that's the park my parents love to visit. If that isn't that park, it's either some other park or my mom is on the back deck of their house and the grass is a little bit overgrown..(grin)

Here is a great shot of Dad. He is out in the wild somewhere. Wish I would of thought to get one of those caps. Then I could keep my big mouth shut and people could see that I didn't vote for the socialist we have now.. Great Hat Dad.. Wear it with Pride!!

And her is the length of my mom's hair. That is a pretty silver color..

Another view of mom's hair..

Here is mom or Maudie as I call her. Due to my C.R.S., I can't remember how we started the Maudie thing.. Good pic Mom...

Here is Dad and Vicki, my baby sister..Good pics. I asked mom how they got dad to sit still & smile and mom said Vicki made him do it..Way to go Vic!! Dad is not known for his love of being a model....

Vicki & mom..Either Vicki has gotten taller and mom is shrinking. I lost 1/2" when they replaced the disc's in my neck. Now I am 5'10 1/2"

And a pic of Dad & Mom together. This, I know, was taken in front of their fireplace. This will conclude this post. Thanks dad for sending the pics. I will place Vicki on call for when I come up there in May, to be on hand for the pic sessions. To be perfectly honest, when I was up there last year (?) Dad was smiling and let me take so many pictures, it bordered on abuse. I look forward to riding the bike up there in May and seeing everyone again..

Trip To Meers Oklahoma 2-1-09

Sunday, 2-1-09, was Superbowl Sunday. We had been invited to a Superbowl party at Russ & Linda's but Janice has a cold, so we couldn't go. The kids came over, well most of them. Amanda's husband Matt didn't come over because he was working and Matt, our son did not come over because he works mids at the Police Department and was still sleeping. So, Janice, Amanda, Amy & Dustin and me decided to make a run up the the Wichita Mountains and eat at Meers Restaurant and then come home. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE..

Janice & Amanda inside Meers Restaurant.

Dustin looks up from the menu.

This is Beth, our waitress. I asked her if I could take her picture and she said no, that she didn't like cameras. Now, she doesn't like me...(grin)

Dustin & Amy. She just ordered him to look at the camera again..

Here I am fixin' to eat a Meersburger

Janice asleep at the table and the floating head belongs to Amanda..

Amy wondering whatever she was gonna do with Dustin

I think she was actually having a good time pestering Dustin and he didn't seem to mind either

Janice looking normal....Janice, where is your wedding ring?

Amy was really hitting the root beer.....

A self portrait of Amanda by Amanda..

Amanda took this pic of Dustin looking at her

This is a Meersburger. It is served on the pie pan..They have another burger, The Seismic Burger, which is larger than this one.

This is the outside of Meers. It looks like a hole in a wall place, but the food is great and it does have a great atmosphere inside. For more info, check out this link: http://www.meersstore.com/

Amy, Janice & Amanda out front. When we got there is was fairly nice with a South wind. When we came out, the wind had changed to out of the North, and the temperature had started to drop. The front that was forecasted to hit Monday, came early.

Amy, Janice & Amanda are in the Artic, or so they thought, due to the Massive amount of snow behind them...They have yet to see a real Northern snowfall... That must be Admiral Byrd on the massive glacier behind them still on his Expedition

Amy, me & Amanda out front of the Meers Restaurant located in Meers Oklahoma that is located in the Wichita Mountains, North of Lawton/Ft. Sill.

Here are Amy & Amanda, napping in the car, dreaming of that warm Texas weather & home, as we headed back to Wichita Falls Texas..That will conclude this post. We did not get to go up to the top of Mt. Scott due to them having the road up closed..
