Another Whole Week has Slipped By


Time has been flying by, so we know we are having fun.  We know that spring is coming to northern Oklahoma since we have seen our first dandelions of the year we expect to be following them north).  The cold temperatures have also stayed north of us; the lows have reached 32 degrees but not below freezing.  After a cool, cloudy day with showers forecast for today, there should be clearing skies and warming temperatures this week.
 
The Circle of Care Childrens Home is now going through a change from dorm-style living to all foster care families.  The school and most of the cottages are now vacant, giving us access to fix some exterior doors, windows, and entry columns.  One kitchen is getting all of its cabinets repainted, and a bathroom ceiling fixture replaced.  One exterior door was about 80% replaced last Thursday.  We will finish trimming that one tomorrow.
 
We have had some rain storms pass through, but only one with any significant thunder and lightning (Thursday evening).  It left a great rainbow and a quiet night after it passed us. 

The stronger storms have passed nearby into Kansas, Missouri, or Arkansas.  Tulsa is only about an hour away, and they have had very little rain all year.  We went there Saturday for a little sightseeing and shopping.
 
Last night, our group went to a stage performance of “Nunsense” put on by the Tahlequah Community Players amateur acting troup.  They did a good job, but the acoustics made some parts a little harder to hear than others.  Our team leader, Joe, answered one of the nuns’ questions correctly and won a small prize.
