Dad's 27th Work Anniversary March 14 - 16, 2008 |
|
My Dad has worked at Jet Stream Plastics (now
called PipeLife Jet Stream) since he was 16 years old. He has
actually worked there for about 28 years, but consecutively he reached his
37th anniversary in March of this year. Mom, Desirae, and I decided
to surprise him by attending the celebration. He was surprised!
I had a good weekend at home with my family, including a very cold 5K
race with Mom in Tulsa. Thankfully, she made it up to me with a big
Waffle House breakfast afterward + some thrift store shopping. She
knows what carrots to dangle in front of me! I also got to spend
time with sister Desirae, future brother- in-law Keith, and my beloved
Gran. It was a good weekend. |

Surprise!!! | Now he's trying to act pleased, he doesn't like parties & fuss. |
Somebody cracks up the room. | Here he shows off his award. |
Here's Dad with his friend and boss Greg | Dad and his girls - it kinda reminds you of Charlie's Angels, right?! |
Mom & friend Grace at the Tulsa St. Patrick's Day race. |
Me & Mom - we froze, then got hot, then froze again. And we paid $20 for that privilege! |
Here we are at Westville's Mexican restaurant on Saturday night. | Here's Keith being a cat pillow next to Desi at Mom's |

The beautiful "Momma Kitty", now mostly called, "Ma" | |
Also beautiful (in her own way) is "Long
Dog." She is named "Sissy" by her real owners, |
