Take my breath away

We ventured to Tulsa, OK to land a surprise visit to Michele's mom for her 50th birthday. It was totally unexpected and very well received and appreciated. Michele purchased some lasagna from Walmart, salad fixings and bread. She cooked the meal there and then her brother and his wife brought the german chocolate cake for dessert. It was quite a tasty meal and definitely got a thumbs up by everyone. We enjoyed our visit and headed home.

On the way home we stopped in to visit the newest Quik Trip in the Tulsa area. I wish I had taken pictures. It is a one-stop shop for everything and includes a coffee bar, much like Starbucks inside...and tastes just as good and is half the price. You order your beverage from a kiosk and then pay when you are ready to leave. We loaded up with some hot and cold beverages and hopped on the turnpike to return to Shawnee.

In between Chandler and Shawnee, I caught a quick wiff of a ripe skunk smell....I about lost it. I cannot stand that smell....and what to my wondering ears do I hear from the backseat? My 3 year old Micah declares, "what was that smell, daddy?" I said, "A skunk!" He responds, "Yuck!"
Simply precious and something that made me laugh at loud. I only wish had written all the funny sayings Alexis had said when she was younger. At least I have the ability to catch things they say from now on.

A skunk may have literally taken my breath away, but my son's funny question and answer trumps the skunk.

What a fun and quik trip. :)

Blessings.
