Okie Book Woman: January 2011
http://okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Friday, January 21, 2011. Confused and Gray, But Ready to Travel. Last week I applied for a United States passport. One of the questions on the application was “Have you ever gone by any other name? I pondered for a moment. I go by a nickname, and I have a “writing name.”. But I don’t use either of those names for anything official, like bank accounts, social security, or driver’s license. So I answered “No.”. Still . . . Sure, I’d realized that on some level. But I...

Okie Book Woman: The Train Was Late--Very Late (Part One)
http://okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2011/08/train-was-late-very-late-part-one.html
Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. The Train Was Late- Very Late (Part One). When I bought my ticket for Amtrak’s California Zephyr train from Granby, Colorado to Grand Junction, Colorado, the clerk warned me that the train might be a bit late—maybe as much as two hours. Still, it seemed like a good solution to our problem. We spent a week driving to Seattle so that we could go on our Alaskan cruise. Yes, I know. Most people fly from Oklahoma City to Seattle. The California Z...

Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Thursday, June 23, 2011. My neighbor had a birthday this week. Everyone in the neighborhood knows it. Flamingos covered his lawn from one end . . . One plastic flamingo for each year. Forty is a LOT of flamingos! Thursday, June 9, 2011. This Was Not Part of the Plan. We didn’t plan to have a third child. But one night in 1979, Dr. Lobo and I got “friendly.”. 8220;Shall I get up and put in my diaphragm? 8221; I asked. Our other babies came before their due dates.).

Okie Book Woman: September 2011
http://okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Thursday, September 29, 2011. That's What Friends Are For. I wouldn’t do it for just anyone. But the lady with the beautiful smile in the photo above is my Best Friend Forever. In my blog, I refer to her as The Singer. If you’re confused because I’ve. Posted her picture in the past, and this doesn’t look like the same person, it’s because she’s lost a large amount of weight. She sang at our wedding, forty-four years ago. We struggled through raising our kids together.

Okie Book Woman: October 2010

Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Sunday, October 3, 2010. Life's Not Always A Picnic. Life’s not always a picnic, but today it was. My church held its annual picnic at Stars and Stripes Park, and we had a great turnout. It was a perfect October day, offering the kind of beautiful weather that makes you think Oklahoma is a wonderful place to live. The cooks took their work seriously. The designated eaters responded with enthusiasm. Abe felt a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. Bryce made a new friend.

Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The Bricktown Water Taxi. We've had the canal boats, or water taxis (taxies? The redbud trees were gorgeous. We enjoyed the sights from our water taxi, and our informative and humorous guide offered lots of fun facts about Oklahoma City. Wonderful murals covered brick walls along the way. We saw bridges . . . And waterfalls . . . It was a fun ride. If you haven't yet experienced the Bricktown Water Taxi Ride, I encourage you to give it a try.

http://okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2011/12/im-interrupting-my-silence-for-this.html
Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. I'm Interrupting My Silence For This Announcement. Eventually I'll get back to writing my blog posts, but not until after Christmas. Today I wanted to post an announcement that I'm sure some of my Oklahoma friends would like to know about. Last year I wrote about the incredible Lego exhibit. See http:/ okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2011/02/oklahoma-city-lego-style.html. Several people said they wished they'd known about it. Well, it's back!

Okie Book Woman: November 2010
http://okiebookwoman.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Reading and Writing Books for Kids. Friday, November 26, 2010. I understand all too well that some of my readers weren’t even born in the seventies, but those of you who were around during those years probably remember the crocheted poncho. My clever and crafty sister made this for me in 1972 or 1973. No one would ever describe me as being stylish, but even I know that the fashionable woman of today does not dress in a crocheted poncho. Is a fashion exclamation, and it’s exclaiming ‘OUCH! Did you miss me?
