My sister Karen and niece Danielle came from Ohio for a visit several weeks ago; I had not seen them in 15 years, so it was great to spend time "catching up." We talked with the girls about our growing up, and things we remembered about our grandparents' place in Ohio, which was a special place for both of us when we were young. Karen and Danielle found interesting things about this strange land called Oklahoma: cactus plantings in peoples' front yards, cricket-shaped oil wells in peoples' backyards, herds of long-horned cattle pasturing along Highway 81, and the scary trees at night that line the road I live on (they are scrub oak and were heavily damaged in the January ice storm, so they do look pretty grisly at night). They all had fun trying new recipes in the kitchen, and Adrienne and Rachel made several kinds of home made pizza for them. All too soon it was time for them to go home, but I will keep the memory of their visit for a long time.
Psa 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
