Let's Get Aquainted and Spring Break Bucket List

Hey Y'all!

I am super excited to have a couple of new new-to-me linky parties to participate in. It is my first time to link up with both of these ladies. Should be fun!

Flying Into First hosts a fun {{and easy}} linky party to help us all get to know each other.

Latoya's Let's Get Acquainted this week is 2 Truths and a Lie. Just so you know, I am a terrible liar. I all blinky and clench my teeth. Good thing this party is digital! You can't see me....nanny nanny boo boo! Here goes:

1. In Junior High, I performed a choreographed dance to "Rockin' Robin" for a 4H Talent show. Complete with poodle skirts.

2. When I was a little bitty girl, my dad's friends called me "That barefooted river bottom girl."

3. I have a disappearing birthmark on my big toe.

Which do you think is my lie? Comment your pick. I will do a reveal at the end of the party.



I am also jumping on the opportunity to get motivated with Brigid at Brigid's Daily Lesson Log. She is hosting a "Spring Break Bucket List" linky. Anyone who knows me, knows that lists are one of my favorite things. Watch me load my list with things I have already done! It makes me feel accomplished, which makes me want to do more on my list.

Toodles,

Camping on Gopher Hill

We packed up our gear and headed east, to my hometown, to camp at the best place ever. Home sweet home. Dahlia was the fifth generation of my family to set foot on that land. The menfolk cleared land at the exact place that my favorite house ever stood, before it burnt down. It is funny how land evolves and changes after 20 years of being uninhabited by people.

All the hard work was done by the time we pulled up to the campsite. All we had to do was put up our new tent! Call me crazy, but I love to put tents up. Taking them down and managing to fold them into a shape that fits into the tiny bag...not so much.

My Mama and her "man friend"

Camping isn't complete without a princess flashlight!

...or a pink camp chair!

...or a place to put your sippy cup!

Cecil, or as Dahlia started calling him, "Sissy!" At least she stopped calling him Brian on purpose!

Daffodils from the good old homeplace:) I dug up lots of these, irises, and  Easter lilies to plant at my new home. 

Yes, we have a waterfall! And some tires! lol

The North Canadian River

This used to be a schoolbus!

Raccoon tracks!

The guys were happy to see deer tracks all over. We saw some monster buck tracks while searching for arrowheads!

Walking along the river bank. 

Danger! Sandy bottoms ahead!

Dancing Queen

complete with ballerina shirt

Mark splitting wood

The boys relaxing!

That big Oklahoma sky

Mama and her pal, Cheryl. Just ignore that sweatshirt!

fire out, packed, heading home

Saying goodbye

We had a great time with our family and friends! Hopefully, we will do it all over again soon. I love the land and all of the happy memories I have made there. I love that Dahlia and Jeremiah are getting to make some too. Now, off to work on some TpT products! I have been slacking and have a bit of alone time today. 

Toodles.
