my last few days in ok
were wonderful… 

good times were had
by all at the driving range
with my grandfather,
dad and cousin alex. my popi
(my grandfather) is impressive.
he showed me how each club
should be used. then he
demonstrated…perfect
e v e r y   t i m e!!

my favorite glof clubs:
wedge, driver, and 7 iron

my interpretation of drunk
golfing.

the family bbq went well.
almost everyone came!
piles and piles of food!
i hosted my little heart
out. “would you like
peaches or strawberries
on your shortbread? whipped
cream?”

favorite moments:
*the morning and afternoon
long pre-party prep with
my mom.
*the picture with my mom
and ALL of her brothers
and sisters.

i? me and my cousin jason, my
mom and her siblings, my cousin
arhmad and my second cousin
emma.

sunday lunch with steve
and carol is always a given.
every dish(save one) was
from a barefoot contessa
cookbook.  we were testing out
the books. every single
thing we made was
d e l i c i o u s !
especially the frozen
berries with white
hot chocolate.

this is not the barefoot contessa
meal. it was a meal of
‘lisa’s favorite things’

i had good (better than good
really) times with
the ‘rents. (mom and dad):
*nice dinner at home for father’s day.
imagine all three of us snuggled
on the couch watching some
program on the discovery
channel.  dad just can’t get
enough of the discovery
channel.  who can really??
*fun times at the movies
with mom.  she’s a good
movie viewing partner!

meals with sweet friends:
lunch with debbie clem.
pre-lunch i roamed through
her amazing garden and
was wowed!
lettuce
asparagus
squash
beets
tomatoes
leeks
strawberries
herbs
and more

this is sqush!!  did you know
that the squash flower is a
delicacy?

for lunch we went to a
cute little tea room in
edmond, oklahoma.
to our surprise we found
out that the hat rack full
of fun big hats are for the
guests to wear during
their lunch.  we saw the
hats on our way out.  we
did have a jolly laugh in
them anyway.

there were many more
treasured moments that
i enjoyed during my time in
oklahoma. the good times
were plentiful and abundant.

(thanks for mailing my
camera cord mom!!)
