These are some pictures taken on the trip to Ireland. As I found out early, the pixel count on most of the pictures were over the amount that this software would allow. If you would like to see them all, we have a video of all the many pictures along with some descriptions of the different areas, just let us know at:
116o4 East 23rd Street, Tulsa OK 74129-5602 or

Also, I hope you pick up that this is a very laid back area of Ireland. There are a bunch of very good picture covering the general country side.

Still haven’t got all the pictures I need for Marie’s Trip to Ireland but will have them shortly.
This is Matthews 13th birthday party (party on Sunday October 19th – Birthday is October 20th). The crowd was not as large as normal for birthdays as Laura and family were in Texas on Spring break. But it was a spirited party at Matt’s and Kim’s place.

This past weekend we lost an old friend and neighbor, Mary Mooney. Mary has been a neighbor for a very long time. She was a mother of four daughters, which were as old or a little older than our kids. Her youngest, Lori, was the same age as Mark, our oldest.
She was a flower garden person of no equal. She cherished every flower around. As I have mowed her yard for the last 10 – 12 years I had to be extremely careful of where I mowed and trimmed. She even watered and nurtured the flowers that grew in the cracks of her driveway and patio.
She also had a lemon tree that she used to produce the lemons she used in her lemon pies. Now this tree (or tree”s” I should say – her daughter Lori had a second tree cloned by Oklahoma State) was a annual thing as it had to be moved inside the garage every fall and then back out in the spring. Why move it inside? Well, the roots were in a pot and frozen roots wouldn’t live. But also the tree produced fruit during the garage time. Anyway, Marie and I have eaten a lot of pies that originated from this tree over the many years.
We’ve even had a gate between our place and Mary’s. It makes it a lot easier for Marie to get over to Mary’s on the many trips each day.

The picture below is one taken last year of Mary and the first lemon tree.
A lovely lady who we will miss.

Although her birthday is on the 5th, everyone was on vacation until this past weekend. So on August 17th we celebrated her 12th birthday at Matt’s and Kim’s place. These are the pictures taken at the celebration and dinner (supper).

I have to be truthful about one of the pictures displayed in the BLOG entry covering our birthdays. As usual I have no pictures of myself and I at least wanted to show I did have a birthday and was in attendance.
So what did I do when it came time to get a picture in the BLOG? Well, it was the following day so I just got out the cake and candles, set down at the table (behind the cake) and took the picture with the remote delay feature on the camera. Needless to say something went wrong. The cake was partly eaten and there was a problem with the candles. The first picture below will show the initial picture. The second picture shows what resulted after some software changes to the first picture.
Now you know the whole story.

Nothing seemed to work out where we could really celebrate the twins birthday and Bud’s birthday on July 16 or July 28. The 16th was on Wednesday, mid week and Matt and Laura and families were to be in Colorado on vacation starting July 26st. So, we had one party on July 20 to celebrate all the birthdays.

Note: Matt’s cake has a picture of a car going to Muskogee. Matt has transferred to the Beneficial Office in Muskogee effective July 21st. 70 miles round trip – Gas goes bye bye!
Sorry, I didn’t get individual pictures of Evelyn and Karl Albright. They are in the last two pictures.

The Langley’s had their normal fish fry and fire works at their place northwest of Skiatook. Steve’s brother Glenn and his wife Debbie, his parents Arlene and Pete, and his sister Margaret and younger son Peter from the Dallas area, along with Marie and I, Matt and Kim and their kids Kassidy, Matthew, Katlyn and Alexis were there.
Wii games were played by the kids, some of the adults had a poker game prior to supper being prepared by Steve and Laura. Lots of fried fish and potatoes were available along Home Made Ice Cream made from the Loveless home made ice cream receipt.
Below are some of the pictures I took at the get together. Sorry I didn’t get a picture of Kim.

The year will still be without Dick and Shirley, as Dick is still not up to the trip to Oklahoma. Tom and his family were in Missouri as Mary’s baby had to be taken early (six months into pregnancy). But we did have Aunt Wilma Ford from Kansas and her daughter Patty Ford from Kentucky did attend.
There aren’t as many pictures this year. Why? Kyle had to work and he always has 250 plus pictures. Even I had less this year and I’ve yet to get any pictures from Laura or Marie. I’ll start with a few group pictures of those who attended. But even these are in three pictures not in one mass picture that we try to take each year. But these three pictures do show the 40 people attending this years reunion. This was another wet year as we had rain early Saturday morning and all afternoon which played havoc with the group picture and outdoor activities.

We do have a DVD that shows the above pictures as well as the many activities that went on the three days we were in camp. The DVD can be obtained by contacting Marie at budmarie@aol.com or by dropping her a line or a phone call.
Not a lot going on around here. We went to a couple of Dustin’s baseball games this week. This is a tourney to end the baseball season. Well, they had lost the first game and are in the losers bracket now but they won last night so they have another game tomorrow.
Got the first part of the mowing completed today. Have to start early as this coming Friday through Sunday we’ll be at the lake with Marie’s family for the annual family reunion. Anyway I’ll get the best part of the balance done tomorrow.
We’ve had 4 days without any rain which is almost a record for this year. Even the tomatoes are looking better. But after the small reprieve, we had another 6/10 inches of rain. I guess it may be time to remove some of the plants that haven’t even bloomed yet. I will probably remove about half of the plants after I get back Sunday.
