A Birthday Celebration in Okie

This was the first of thirty birthdays that I had in Oklahoma (don't suck in your breath as if you didn't know I was that old =). My host family (the Crawfords) invited Mark and Bambie to come with my nieces and nephews and celebrate with me. The kids made me cards, and bouquets of wild flowers from Oklahoma fields; the Crawfords gave me a gift card to Mardel (a Christian book store). Yeah...they know me well already! I believe this is the first birthday I have been able to celebrate with my sister, Bambie, since she got married forteen years ago. God sent us both to Oklahoma to pull that one off! I am very blessed.
