Spring is springN

Easter is past and spring has arrived ! Achoo! We've traveled some this month - accepting an award in Charleston (which is one of our favorite places). We were picked up in a London taxi (just think of the Nanny Cab on Nanny 911 and there you are!) and we spent a lovely time stuffing ourselves like pigs in Charleston. Side Note: Youngins about 7 months old love to have you sing the "This Little Piggy" if you're a grandma. We ate everything from Fried Tomatoes, yes green ones at Justines to Hyman's special key lime pie. We also discovered the place where the first cannon ball was shot to start the civil war - alas and I don't really like history. Did you know that Abe Lincoln made some weird statements back then? Mike was apalled at his comments on slavery! I also bought another pair of shoes from one of my favorite shoe stores (Copper Penney) and can't wait for summer to wear them! I'm such a shoe girl! Yes we did do some work while there - but considering we haven't had a real vacation in such a long time - this was a great break for us and free due to our award. We really had a great time again there in one of our favorite towns. We stayed at the beautiful Charleston Place Hotel!

Then on to Cinncinnati to another business meeting with wonderful folks who are like our board of directors. Eleven wonderful guys from accross the nation give us support and help as we join twice a year with them to review our business. We had our nose to the grindstone for about 3 solid days but did manage to experience (again food) some wonderful ice cream. We are sold on our own Oklahoma Blue Bell and Braums - but move over for Graeters. It's delicious and you can even order it to be shipped to your home - Danger! ! ! ! ! I love the story of it's history with a woman who fought odds to be successful with her business. http://www.graeters.com/history2.aspx

We're home now - watching Easton play ball which is so deja vue with David and Drew coaching their little ones and the Grandpas who coached David and Drew watching their grandsons! Three and four year old ball is just hilarious. Well, I'm back to updatN - boring but it will get better I promise!
