1. Get up and call car repair shop.
The AC went out and the "Worn Brake Pad" light came on. It was scary stuff. But the car seems to be in capable hands and they will be getting it back to us on Friday. Fingers crossed it blows cold, cold air! We drove my dad's work truck around (also with no AC).
2. Drive to Fulton's Fried Pies . Purchase 6 and get 1 free.
We ordered: Cherry, Peach, Apricot, Pina Colada, Coconut Cream, Raspberries & Cream, and Apple.
3. Find coffee place. Unfortunately, this only led us to Starbucks. Luckily, they have iced drinks because I was already sweating by 10:30.
4. Return to parents' house. Eat fried pie and drink coffee. Sit on back porch reading, trying to stay cool.
5. Cleaned out kiddie pool, refilled. Donned swimsuit, dragged Adirondack chair to poolside, soak feet and legs while reading.
6. Remember that sunscreen is my friend. Apply liberally.
Scott worked in the flower bed (that now actually resembles a flower bed). We let Asher run around the backyard. After 9 years, this is really a first for her. She finally won't bolt as soon as she hits the ground and if she did, she's too old to move fast enough to outrun us. I did, however, catch her eyeing the fence and the overhanging tree. She had devilishly iguana thoughts of climbing over.
7. Clean up, get dressed, go to dinner at $2 taco night at the Iguana. $2 tacos, $2 Tecates, and a salsa "bar".
8. Ponder over broken train tracks. Walk to Java Daves! Yes! Real coffee!!
9. Wander in to Sara Sara cupcakes, purchase 4 cupcakes: key lime, cherries jubilee, apricot ricotta, banana snickers.
10. Head out to see OKC renovations. It is quite amazing how many strides this city is making. It is in the process of becoming a pretty cool place--young, hip, local.
11. Hang with sister and her boyfriend, have a beer, talk shop, smoke cigars, muse over hail damage.
Finally make it back, combat allergies, look at sunburns, fall asleep.
A mighty fine vaca day in OK.
