Monkless

Well, the house is quiet for the first time in a few days. The monks are gone. We took Evie, Maggie and Oliver to Eleanor's for a custody exchange with Tara and John. Had a good visit and good dinner. Tara and John headed back to Texas with two little girls jabbering about a million words a minute. Welcome back, Momma. hee hee.

We stopped at the Buffalo Ranch convenience store for some water. Getting on the turnpike at the Afton gate, I had a major brain fart and took the Joplin exit instead of the Tulsa exit. 10 minute detour to the Miami turnpike gate. Went thru the pikepass lane and did a u-turn. As we drove thru the other pikepass gate, I coulda sworn I heard the toll booth attendant yell, "Go back to Arkansas!" Shaddup, Maynard. Anyway, we made it to Tulsa without another incident. Debbie said she wanted to stop at Braum's. Well, I missed the exit for that, too. After a couple of roundy-rounds and passing the darn place one more time, we made it to Braum's. Not without alot of grief from the three backseat drivers making comments about having a GPS system and not using it cuz if we did we wouldn't be taking the 3-hour tour just to get to Braums. Smart alecks. If it wasn't for getting lost and missing exits, we wouldn't have such wonderful family memories and stories to tell later. There is a method to my madness. Yeah. Right. I didn't miss any more exits between Tulsa and Stillwater. Glad to be home finally. Missing the monks.

Megan and Kelsey just got back from Wally World buying anti-fungal cream and Preparation-H. Um, some things are better left unasked and unanswered.

Have a good one.

Roy, ask Megan and Kelsey to let me know what they are using the medication for. I have never heard of that combination. Also tell Debbie she already had her ice cream. I know I will get a good response. Love ya all
