Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all! It's a scary time of the year. Witches and goblins all over the place. Some of those creatures are hard to describe. Here's one that has been haunting the neighborhoods of Pantego for the last week or so.

Actually, Jane is doing pretty darn good. This picture was taken only 10 days after her surgery. The swelling is going down, and she is less red every day. I have to admit that I think she's going to look good.

It's Goblin Time!!!

So, Halloween is almost here. I guess that means it's time for us to start getting those costumes ready. What's that you say? That doesn't like like a costume. Well, it's not. Our plain Jane is trying to break out of the mold, shed her coccoon and see what comes out. Well let me tell you, I've see it and it's scary!!! (click on picture to see a huge, close up view)

This picture was taken on Friday the 19th of October, one day after her surgery. She was swollen, red and gooey. I saw her again on Wednesday the 24th and she looked....better...? Yeah, it was better, in a burn victim kind of way. I'll try to get a picture posted in the next day or so you can see for yourself. It will take a few weeks before she no longer frightens the children in the neighborhood. But just think what a hit she'll be on Halloween!!!

Oklahoma State Trip

I traveled to the Okie state this past weekend to see Justin and the Oklahoma State campus. I'd never been to Stillwater before, and didn't really know what to expect. Honestly, I just didn't think it would be that nice. I kind of expected to see a bunch of older buildings, maybe even a few trailers.




Who knew the place was so nice? Here's a picture of the Student Union Building. All the buildings on the campus look like this. It was really a cool place, and now I know why Justin enjoys it so much.





We went to a pep rally the night before the football game inside the basketball arena. Those folks sure do like orange! I remember why college can be so fun when you attend events like this. Watching the fraternities & sororities and all the students get so excited about homecoming was pretty cool.




It was fun seeing Justin, but felt bad that he wasn't down there yelling with all his friends during the pep rally. We had the chance to go by his dorm and see his room and meet his roomates. He's got a really nice setup there and all the guys seem really nice. They didn't even seem to mind the "old folk" hanging out in their room for a little while.



The football game itself was great. Oklahoma State beat the Kansas State Wildcats 41 to 39 on a last second field goal. The picture to the left was taken just before the field goal was snapped. The place went wild right after this. That was a great homecoming game!
As you can see in the picture, they are still working on the endzone of the stadium. When they get it done, it's going to be really great!
