Time with Dad and Granny

We didn't have any plan on Saturday morning. So we just played everything by ear. Dad showed us some boxes in his garage and we picked a few things to take back to Dallas. Then we took a box of used book to a used bookstore. But they were not interested in the thick binders of past Reader’s Digest. On the way home, we stopped by the airport Dad used to fly and keep his plane. It was neat to see that. David wanted to stop by mom’s cemetery since it was on the way. We spent a few minutes there. If I knew we would stop there, I could have brought the flowers. We met Granny at her apartment around 1:30pm. It was the first time David and I visited her apartment. It was so convenient since the activity room, library, exercise room, and the laundry rooms are right outside of her door. She said she had the best room in the whole complex! Granny was busy! She had to cancel a birthday party and another activity to be with us. And in two month, she will be 93 years old!

We came back to Dad’s house, sitting around and chatting. By 5:30pm, we began to think about the dinner. Dad wanted to take us to try a new restaurant in downtown Bixby. We went there. The food was good. David loved his onion rings and I liked the pot roasted beef. On the way home, Dad took a different route and stopped at a Chapel. It was the smallest chapel with the largest water mill wheel in OK. But it was beautiful! Everything was so manicured: Arched door with green vines and red flowers, white pebble stones, mini animal sculptures, … We walked in it. It has a room for 14 people. Cute! David picked up a brochure: the chapel was built several years ago for the builder’s wife on their 50th anniversary. Since some people requested to get married there, it asked for 48 hours of advanced notice. We thought that was funny! Wished we had our cameras to take a few pictures.

Granny left at around 8:00pm. I took a short nap and then joined David and Dad to watch the golf game and the America’s Funniest Video. We enjoyed watching those!
