Heading to Utah on Sunday

Today is Friday, the 14th.  Nick, Laurel, and family will be here tomorrow afternoon. Dale and I have a hot date tomorrow night. We are going to the Winstar Casino to see Martina McBride. We are both excited about that. We had a great time there when we saw the Gatlin Brothers and Kenny Rogers. I posted about that on my facebook. Winstar is only about an hour north of here. Its nice to go north and AWAY from the traffic for a change instead of south and into the traffic. There is a lot to do here. That must be one of the reasons people live here.

 It rained like cats and dogs today (and left little poodles in the road). I had to say that because that's something Mom used to say. When I was younger and she said the part about the "poodles" I never could figure it out. I knew it was funny or a play on words or something because of the way she said it. I could see that poodles related to cats and dogs but couldn't see what it had to do with rain (of course, cats and dogs have nothing to do with rain, either). I don't know how old I was when a light bulb finally went on in my head and I realized that "poodles" were puddles being left in the road! Hey, I never said I was the most intelligent child. . . .
Dale had to drive in the rain all day.  He said there was a bad accident on the other side of the freeway involving two eighteen-wheelers. Not so good. I'll be glad when he gets home safely tonight.

So, not too much to say, except I'm looking forward to seeing ya'all. Also, happy to be welcoming my new daughter-in-law-to-be, Brittany, into the family. She's a very cute girl and Cade is blessed to have her in his life.

I'll let you know how Martina was on my next post.
