Happy Memorial Day!!! Dave and I have been watching a coyote. It was running across our yard last night and we saw it again this morning. We have lived here for six years and that was the first time I have seen a coyote. I have heard them many times off in a distance… We had a fun day but we missed David and Lori. Kenny and Kathy came over for a cook out and Kathy brought her delicious potato salad.

It is on my neck and it doesn’t feel good… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma
