| Dad's 27th Work Anniversary March 14 - 16, 2008 | |
| My Dad has worked at Jet Stream Plastics (now
      called PipeLife Jet Stream) since he was 16 years old.  He has
      actually worked there for about 28 years, but consecutively he reached his
      37th anniversary in March of this year.  Mom, Desirae, and I decided
      to surprise him by attending the celebration.  He was surprised! I had a good weekend at home with my family, including a very cold 5K
      race with Mom in Tulsa.  Thankfully, she made it up to me with a big
      Waffle House breakfast afterward + some thrift store shopping.  She
      knows what carrots to dangle in front of me!  I also got to spend
      time with sister Desirae, future brother- in-law Keith, and my beloved
      Gran.  It was a good weekend.  | |

| Also beautiful (in her own way) is "Long
  Dog."  She is named "Sissy" by her real owners,  | |
