Had a great timeout at the lake yesterday.
My sister-in-law and niece stopped by for a very brief visit. They're up in Oklahoma City visiting my sister and her family.

Glad you had some company!
I’ll be heading up to OK next week. Time to see how much
my granddaughters have grown in the past 6 months. I just
don’t get a chance to make the drive often enough!
