Life as an Oklahoman

Category: Life Changes | Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 1:20 am

Well, I have relocated to Oklahoma. It is so beautiful here I can't believe it. We were on the road for like 32 hours getting here. It was impossible to stop at a motel because of the animals we brought with us. so we did stop and sleep about 2 hours after being on the road for six hours. We worked 20 hours straight the day before we left getting things loaded and packed away what we couldn't take. If my cousin and her BF had not been there helping us we would probably still be packing. Anyway it was the longest, most dreadful trip I have ever taken. My son and d-inlaw came too, but we were each driving a vehicle so no one was riding with anyone. Hard to stay awake after the 20 hours working the day before, 1 1/2 hours of sleep then working another 6 hours before hitting the road. It is a miracle we all got here without an accident. We did stop often tho to walk the dogs and make sure everyone had water. I had to leave the birds home with my cousin but brought my chickens. Everyone thought I was nuts because I brought my chickens. But all of the animals fared the trip better than I did.

I do not have internet where I am living but my mother in law does so when I come to visit her, I will visit you. Hopefully I will have pictures. We have been here one week and already have a garden put in, lots of flowers planted and been fishing 4 times. Life is good so far and I fully expect it to stay that way.

Take care all, and I will get some pictures that will make at least some of you envious. The landscape here is like paradise compared to the desert in AZ. I feel so blessed just being here.

Till later,
DF

Oh, I don't envy you at all. It's hard moving and taking animals. We just moved with a dog and our birds. All that packing and driving is so hard on a person. You seem to be settling in fine and fishing is a good relaxing thing to do. Enjoy your new home. dooley

Sound like quite an ordeal! I'm glad you're safely there and getting settled.

Good to hear that you've arrived and are all still in one piece. I think moving is one of the most stressful things you can do. Sounds as though you have you priorities right though - gardening and fishing - sounds ideal!!

Still no internet but back at mother in law's tonite for a bit. Well, last Thursday we had an F4 tornado 15 miles away. It wasn't scary for me because if you are not right in it, it is awesome to watch. Had some hale ,marlbe sized, but at mother in law's it was golf ball size.

Garden should be happy as it started raining last night and is still raining tonight. A slow soaking rain. At noon we had 1 1/2 inches, haven't checked since then.

The challenges of living in someone else's house have began tho. This is going to be a tough one. I don't know how long I can endure but time will surely tell. I have always had a soft spot for the elderly, but not mean, nasty ones. I will not argue with or disrespect my father-in-law for any reason. I just have not figured out how to not become upset when he is so hateful. He is very self centered and demanding. Good thing the fishing hole isn't too far to walk to.
Running out of my 1000 characters so till next time,

Take Care Everyone
