Lake Tenkiller Retreat

So I'm exceeding my own expectations for blogging - this is twice in one month, so consider this a bonus treat. I had one of the best weekends of my life. We all bailed on work early on Friday afternoon, and packed up the car to head out to Lake Tenkiller, about an hour away from Tulsa. We arrived about 5pm or so, and played catch, watched the sun set, and then made the best pizza ever! It was loaded with veggies, cheese, and pure goodness. We gorged on that. We played cribbage and Cranium and had a great time.

The next morning, we played more games, ate a fantastic omelette thingy with hashbrowns, and then went for a great hike around the lake.

After the hike, we laid out some blankets, ate the best lunch ever (which included melting icecream and graham crackers!), and played some more cards. We also discovered a number of ticks. I found two - one on my arm and one trying to get on my arms. After that, the game sort of broke up and we decided to head back to Tulsa.

Then, that night, we all rolled back into Tulsa, and played Settlers of Catan (which I haven't played in 5 years!) I used to play this game all the time with folks in Fort Collins and it's been forever since I've played. We played two games and Juliana and I won one of them! I may have to buy this game, too, because it's just too fun, and easy to play. It takes an hour to play and there's strategy, trading, scheming, treaties, and more. A classic game, in my opinion.


While we were away we had an open house, and 3 couples came and looked, but so far, no one's biting. I've got a good feeling about today, though. We'll see it. It's sort of an emotional roller coaster having a house on the market, but I trust that everything will work out.

I can't believe how fast time is flying. We have only a couple of months left here (2 or 3) and then we're free for the summer. I'm hoping to do some camping, catching up with old friends, and then moving to St. Paul and settling in.

I'm thinking about getting a Unicycle. I think I'd like to be known as the minister that Unicycles. What do you think?!

That's the update from T-town. Hope you're all well!
