Abby and I went to her hometown, Ryan, Oklahoma, yesterday, to make senior portraits of her niece Amber’s son and stepson. It was a productive session, and it was really nice to see Abby with a camera in her hand again.
On the way, we dropped the Kokopelli (our RV) off in Duncan. The Shoffner family reunion is next weekend, and while I can’t attend until Sunday, Abby will stay in the RV Friday and Saturday nights.


Here are some notes I scribbled along the way. More on these as I cogitate:
- The things I said and did to “impress” her. Charlie Brown quotes. Telling her I washed my hair twice a day.
- $.25 junk box story
- Shooting .22s at Boy Scouts.
- Stereo for birthday c. 1976.
Joke my sister posted on Facebook last month: What do the Flying Wallendas and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have in common? The Wallendas have a cunning array of stunts.
Dream: a coworker, Christy, is in a panic when she needs to bring a dozen newspapers from a warehouse to the office. When I ask her why she is so upset, she explains that she didn’t make the cheerleading team.

A most enthused Yea! to reunion time. I look forward to seeing this years theme.
