John's 60th Birthday

John turned 60 on April 16th! What he asked for was to stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel with our girls (Bailey and April). I couldn't let the 60th go by without a bit more of a celebration, though. So in addition to the weekend at the hotel, I had a party for him. Our dear friend, Priscilla, opened her lovely home for this which was so very kind.

I ordered in Earls BBQ and had a birthday cake and ice cream. Then we all played Catch Phrase which was great fun. The top photo is John with his new scanner. Now we get to hear all that is going on around us!! Oh boy! John also got an Apple TV so the next picture is of him and the girls trying it out at the hotel. It is a pretty neat 'toy' as we can see anything he can see on his IPAD on our TV. Great for showing photos, watching movies and so on.

The last picture is of most of the group playing the game. Although everybody knew somebody at the party I don't think any of them knew all the rest of the group but there was no lack for conversation. You would have thought they all knew each other like old friends.

Our next milestone will be John's retirement.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEETIE!

A Little Bit About Us

John is a branch manager and orthotist for Hanger Clinic and is working part-time. He enjoys having Fridays off. He has worked in this field for over 35 years.

Maggie retired in the summer of 2012 from the University of Oklahoma HSC, Department of Medicine after 27 years of service. While waiting for John to retire she continued to work 12 hours a week at her old job training and doing projects and stopped that July 2014. She also does pet therapy with our oldest dog, Bailey, visiting adult patients and hospital staff at OU Medical Center.

April and Bailey are our 'girls'. They are morkies (maltese and yorkie mix) and they are spoiled rotten. They are a great size for the RV and they don't shed, which is wonderful. Bailey travels extremely well April shivers whenever we are going down the road. They both love to go on walks.

We are living in our motorhome full-time while John finishes up his working career. We enjoy outdoor activities such as boating, our waverunner, swimming and walking our dogs. Once we are on the road full-time we hope to see many of the nation's national parks.
