Happy Valentine's Day

I left off at the end of January and now it is Valentine's Day! The time does fly! We have been taking care of business and changing some things around. On the 1st day of February we attended the 8th grade girls basketball game here in Perry. They played Hennessey and my co-worker also came to the game because her boy was playing against the Perry 7th grade boys. So we got to see several kids we know play basketball.

I also submitted my continuing education log to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. That chore is done and I am good on my RD status until 2020. Friday the 2nd day of February - we paid bills, I got my hair color corrected and we went to Arkansas City to watch my nephew play basketball - he is a Junior.

Spectating at sporting events dominated the week because on Saturday - we went to Oklahoma City and watched Logan (our grandson) play Soccer.


Then Sunday we vegged out and watched the Super Bowl! Great fun! We were kind of root for Philadelphia since they were the underdogs and they pulled it off.
On Monday, Feb 5th I officially turned in my retirement letter to my boss - I will finish February and then take my early retirement seriously.
 Tuesday - we met with the financial advisor to get adjusted.  Wednesday brought shopping at Lowe's and Walmart.  On Thursday we drove to Tulsa and watched Parker and his team play another great basketball game. We also talked to Amy Grout - Flathead State Park Ranger from Montana. We put in our application to be camphosts, so we may be headed to Montana about the middle or end of May.  Friday, Steve busied himself with the light on the camper topper. The switch was not right and he fixed it.  Over the week-end we watched the Olympics and were wowed!
Monday was Linda's birthday (my stepdaughter) so I sent her a message and we celebrated on Tuesday at La Macarena. On my way to work Monday (one of my few remaining days) I got all the way to the 412 exit to head west to Enid and the exit was graded to dirt and closed! I had to drive another 10 miles north to the Billings exit and then head west on highway 15 and then south to Garber down 74 til I met up with 412 again. That added 20 miles to my commute! When I returned home on Monday - I went through Covington and Lucien. I found out there is a big solar farm north of Covington  that I had not seen.  And at the exit to go to Billings - the truck stop had added a dog park - which I did not get a great picture of - I must return and get a better picture.  Here is the bad picture.



Tuesday was another productive day. We got our taxes done and did our grocery shopping. Then we celebrated Linda's birthday!


And today is Valentine's Day - So far we got the tag on the pickup renewed and changed the oil in it.
Not sure what else the day will bring.
