This past Monday evening Cynthia and I attended the Change of Horses Banquet held by my Rotary Club, Will Rogers Rotary. The event was held at Five Oaks Lodge in Jenks, America amid a rustic setting comiserant of Will Rogers himself. We enjoyed a nice meal, good conversation, and saw the past officers pass the gavel to the new officers. In addition to Lucy Cravens being made this year's president yours truly was named Co-Sergeant At Arms (no, I don't get to yield a gun!) Kim Montgomery and I will be responsible for fulfilling the duties together for this year which will consist largely of ordering the meetings we attend weekly. She and I are scheming how to get away from the singing we start our meetings off with! LOL! Anyway, what is Rotary? It is an organization founded to bring business leaders together for the good of the world and is responsible for wiping polio off the face of the earth in addition to many other worthwhile endeavors. We have assisted with Tsunami victims, supplying much needed water to villages doing without, and medical supplies around the world. If you ever desire to attend a Rotary meeting with me I will treat you to lunch. Viva La Rotary!

Rusty & Renay Riggs Baby Shower
LaDonna and Cynthia co-hosted a Baby Shower for Rusty and Renay this Saturday at our home. In keeping with the happy couple's baby theme the entire party was done in Hawaiian regalia. From the cake to the backyard everything was tropical, bright, and festive. Rusty & Renay were blessed with lots of family and friends who brought them many gifts to help them get started raising their first child. There was lots of food, laughter, and good cheer on hand. What a way to embark on this journey of parenthood! We all wish them well!! Hats of to LaDonna and Cynthia for a party well done!!!

Keeping My Brush Wet
One way to speed up completing your To-Do list is to plan an event. While we usually don't let grass grow under our feet anyway the Baby Shower planned for this weekend has caused us to expedite our chores! In addition to the normal preparation for hosting such an event we decided Tuesday night to redo our dining room! LOL! We removed the wallpaper and ugly drapes, faux painted the top half, painted the woodwork with a white oil based enamel, and painted the bottom half with a deep burgundy (5 coats! lol!) and added wood blinds. The result is fantastic as the pictures below will show. Not only did it tie in to the rest of the home but it matched our rug perfectly! An added plus! LOL! In addition to the pictures of our newly renovated dining room I have included some pictures of the yard and our newly painted front door. Feel free to post comments as I love reading what you write. Have a great day and an even better weekend!!
