Easter felt like “nothing” this year. I guess the weather has a lot to do with this feeling. Plus not all of Matt’s kids were in attendance. Alexis was here but I didn’t get a picture. I added the pictures taken in the yard. As the peach trees had bloomed much earlier I didn’t have those pictures.

Its hard to believe, but we have snow in Tulsa Oklahoma today. I’ve tried to get pictures of the snow falling but I guess that takes a video. Later – Annouced over the tube that we’ve had 3 1/2 inches of snow as of 11 AM and it started snowing here at the house at 9 AM. They said it would continue snowing at least thru 7 PM this evening. If all that is true then the total amount is going to be 17 1/2 inches. I’ll need help with the snow shovels if that is true. We’ll probably also need air drops of food. My poor apple and peach trees are probably not going to do very well this year.

March 29 – According to the National people Tulsa had 6 inches of snow yesterday. According to our ruler, we had 7, 8 and 8 1/2 inches. Thus we had 7.83 inches. Its probably lucky we didn’t have colder temperatures or the 1.6 inches of rain before the snow would have been another 6 to 9 inches of snow. Anyway, these next pictures were taken after the snow had stopped or about stopped yesterday evening.
This picture was taken this AM of the computer screen in my office which is displaying the image from our front door camera. Note the driveway is cleared. Thank you “whomever” for cleaning it off.
Paul became lucky 77 on March 27, 2009. We, Marie, Evelyn Albright and myself, went to Muskogee to help Paul celebrate his birthday. A great day was had by all, at least until we left Muskogee. We ran into heavy rain and hail as we got on the turn-pike. Couldn’t find any car damage when I got the car in the garage. Anyway, have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Paul.

I’m trying to find a way for letting Ryan see what was available to us in the US about whats going on in the world. Hope this works. You’ll get some advertizement first but thats NBC’s fault.

Hi Ryan. Hope things are going well.

Aunt Louise passed away while she and her husband Ray were on a vacation to Fort Meyers, Florida. She and Ray met up with her daughter and son-in-law to spend a nice time in Florida. Her daughter’s home had burned and so they could spend the time together. They had gone to the beach and all of a sudden Louisa felt ill. They rushed her to a near by hospital and she died 30 minutes later. She was 90 years old.
These next pictures were taken at the beach shortly before she died.
We had Dustin’s (Laura and Steve that is) birthday party on the 8th as its hard to have a party during a week day as we are really spread out over the Tulsa area. The pictures are for those attending at Steve’s and Laura’s place northwest of Skiatook, OK.

For some reason I didn’t get any pictures of Matt or Dustin’s other grandma Arlene (Steve’s Mom).
Cake time!!

This past weekend an old friend and classmate from my old home town, Scott City Kansas, passed away. Eleanor “Nellie” Rockwell Odom came into this world in February of 1930 and left our world in February 2009 a few days short of her 79 birthday.
Eleanor’s Dad was a barber and he cut my hair from the first time I can remember until the day he passed away, I think in 1947. It was prior to our senior year in high school.
Its hard to explain about the time so many years ago. You were at school, out for sports or working in those years, so there wasn’t a lot of times so socializing. You know they didn’t believe in dancing in those days and only the farm kids had cars. It was a bike or walking world. So we didn’t have a lot of time hanging around. We did attend the same church and were in a lot of school activities but that was about all.
Nellie, as we called Eleanor, left town after her father passed away. She and her mother went to Hays. I think it was in the summer of 1947. She did return to Scott City for our graduation in 1948. She received her degree from Fort Hays State. She married Kenneth Odom in 1951. He passed away in May 2000. She was a high school teacher for many years in Stafford Kansas.
The only times I really got to see Nellie since graduation was at the different reunions our class holds every 5 or so years. Since I was never able to attend a reunion until 1998 I’ve seen Eleanor only three or four times since our graduation. But as big time Internet user, Nellie and I had many conversations over the past 10 years. I even did a special MUG for her in 2006. Her son Rodney and daughter-in-law Ellen had their first child Jennifer. The cup included a number of pictures of the three of them.
Eleanor was a quiet and studious girl. I really only learned in these past 10 years what a fun gal she was. A great gal who will be missed by a lot of people.

On Monday January 26st through early morning January 28th we had rain (freezing), sleet, snow,and finally more freezing rain and temperatures never got above freezing. Needless to say, it did pile up. The total moisture was about 2 plus inches of ice. Thursday and Friday were warmer and sidewalks and the driveway were cleared by chopping ice. Here are some of he pictures.
