Martha is not sure she can keep the day numbers correct, so we are going to switch to using actual dates.
Saturday morning was cleanup and laundry time. Byron spent some time buffing the Honda residue off the side of the motorhome. The Honda, unfortunately, will need more than buffing; it’ll need some dent removal and some paint applied. He did a pretty good job on the Airstream and it looks 90% better. He even managed to straighten some panels that were pushed in somewhat.
One of the things Martha loves about the motorhome is being able to clean from front to back in about 30 minutes. However, cleaning all the mirrors takes a few extra minutes. For those of you that haven't owned a motorhome you won't fully understand until you grasp that fact that there are more mirrored walls in an RV than in a 2,000 sq. ft. home. Having our own combination washer/dryer is nice as well. We don’t have to sit at the laundry for several hours. Instead, we do small loads three days out of five so we manage can manage to keep up. Since there is no steam iron everything we brought is of the “wrinkle-free” variety.
The main event of the day, and the main reason for coming through Oklahoma City, was to attend the 50th wedding anniversary of Martha’s uncle and aunt, Floyd and Joyce Shealy. Floyd is the brother of Martha’s dad. The reception was lovely and Byron contributed to the program with a medley of songs “If I Love You” (from Carousel), “If Ever I Would Leave You” (from Camelot), and “The Gift of Love” written by Hal Hopson in 1972. He also did a stanza of the hymn “”Oh, Perfect Love” at the end of the program. That hymn was sung at Floyd and Joyce’s wedding. Vanessa Younger and Jocelyn McGee, Floyd and Joyce’s daughters, planned a beautiful tribute to their parents. A little over 100 people attended the celebration which was held at Our Lord's Community Church where Joyce was formerly the director of music.
