April RAK

I am late posting about our April RAK (Random Act of Kindness) because 1)I was late getting it out and 2)I had to make sure they got the RAK before I could post about it.

For somebody we know ... We have some very good friends who have moved to Florida. Before they moved there, Brian & I vacationed with them there. During our vacation, we had the best time. One of the most memorable experiences came from the restaurant Cooters. We still laugh about that memory! At any rate, we thought they would enjoy getting a gift certificate to Cooters. Although we cannot be with them to enjoy it, they will definitely be thinking about us when they go there.

For somebody we don't know ... One of our favorite places to go is QuikTrip. If we like QT, everybody else does as well - right?!? We got several gift cards and handed out to strangers. Abby gave one to the receptionist at her gymnastics place and another one to somebody walking their baby in the park. I don't know who Brayden gave his to.

Stay tuned to see what we do for our May RAK.

40 Years in 40 Days, Days 5 & 6

Day 5 … “40 years of M-Mmmmm Love!”

All the kiddos love to get M&M’s from my dad. He has an M&M candy dispenser at the funeral home and at the house. These 40 M&M’s won’t last long, but they sure will be enjoyed!

 

Day 6 … " Why not try out these 40 Oklahoma casinos during your 40^th year of marriage!"

My parents spend a lot of time helping out with the grandkids. Their occasional adult time fix is to stop by a casino. We thought they should be a little adventurous and try a few more casinos out. Wonder if they can hit all these this year?!?

6 days down – 34 more to go!

40 Years in 40 Days, Days 3 & 4

Day 3 … “these 40 sticks will sure help keep the FIRE going for another 40 years!”

At the top of our parent’s favorite things to do is having bonfires with the grandkids. So, we felt it was only appropriate to incorporate a bonfire into their celebration. Koby, Brailee, Abs and Brayden all picked up 10 sticks each (40 total) for the fire. Luckily they already had a big burn pile, so we got to enjoy the fire for several hours.



Day 4 … "Here is to watching another 40 years take BLOOM!"

We had 40 flowers that we planted in pots on their front porch. Brailee and Abs helped plant and water the flowers.


4 days down – 36 more to go!

40 Years in 40 Days, Day 2

Here is to keeping it POPing for another 40 years!

Based on the clue, my mom thought it was going to be popcorn ... wrong! Instead, it was 40 ounces (2-20 oz) of pop.
