Scott's birthday and dodging another tornadic bullet
We went to my sister's to celebrate Scott's birthday. We had a cookout, and the kids we playing in the inflatable kiddie pool. Dean's parents (Melvin and Gloria) and his sister Caroline (visiting from Sacramento, CA) were there as well. Scott got a GameBoy Advance SP and a Spongebob game to play on it. Scott's cake was cool-- it was a road with a toy car and a Route 66 sign on it. The cake was chocolate, and Dean kept giving Joey bites of it, and he (Joey, that is) was having a great time!
Apparently, Daniel has a chance to show some of his artwork thru an arrangement Caroline made, and he's dragging his heels about it. He has a couple of pieces done, but more are needed for a showing. Daniel stands to make a significant amount of money from the sale of his works, so I told him of JC's showing of his work last summer-- his first at age 39; and he didn't sell anything! Daniel's only 20, and he has a great opportunity if he'd only get his ass in gear.
We had to leave early because there was a tornado headed right for our part of Edmond, and Melvin, Gloria and Caroline left, too, because they wanted to get out of the area before it hit (Melvin and Gloria live in Enid, about 2 hours northwest of OKC). Turns out that the storm missed us again (whew!!), having made a turn to the northeast at the last minute. It ended up in southern Logan County (we're in northern Oklahoma County), but there was minimal damage, just a lot of wind and hail damage I'm gathering from the news reports I'm hearing; some damaged buildings, but nothing like the twin tornadoes from last May, and the F5 twister from 5 years ago.
Tomorrow, Scott will get to pick a place to have a small family party. He told me that he's trying to decide between Chuck E. Cheese and Golden Corral. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.
