Talequah
So I spent my weekend with my mother in Talehquah, Oklahoma. It was really nice. The drive was about 5 hours long but it was a good drive. Most of the land up there is absolutely beautiful. You get a combination of some flat land, kind of plainy, but you also get some nice hills and forests. Driving through it all was lovely and I wouldn't mind owning a piece of land up there at all.
I got there Thursday around 4ish and met up with Mom. Then we went to the lake and had a picnic. It was nice to be able to reconnect with her. I haven't seen her in a couple weeks and I had so much to tell her. The lake was absolutely beautiful and people were already starting to set up camp for the big Memorial Day weekend. I had wanted to wait to talk to her about Brek until perhaps Friday, but I couldn't help myself. I told her everything. I had to know what she thought and if she had any insights. She seemed pleased and happy for me that I found someone I could connect with. She was however disturbed somewhat by his age. She wants me to be happy but she also wants me to be careful. Basically her advice was to simply wait on the Lord and let Brek make the decisions and moves. I shouldn't be anxious for anything and if he wants me, he'll come and get me. So just go with the flow. It's a nice plan. I like it because I can just have fun with Brek and keep doing what we're doing without worrying. It if works out between us, then great, if not, that's o.k. too. He's still a good friend.
Friday Mom had to work so I busied myself with visiting museums. I went to the Cherokee Nation Museum. It was really interesting. Mainly it was all about the "Trail of Tears." Very sad. They also had a great art collection. Some of it wasn't that wonderful, but some of the pieces were gorgeous. I wish I could paint like that. After the museum I visited an old Antebellum house. It was interesting, kind of small, but kewl. The neat thing about this place was that it actuall had closets. Most homes then didn't have closets because the people were taxed according to how many rooms you had. If there was a door on it, then it was a room. But this house was on Indian Property and owned by an Indian Family, so they were taxed differntly and could afford closets. :)
Sat. and Sun. Mom was on call. Sat. we had breakfast and went out to a local shopping show thing but as soon as wel got there, she got called back to the hospital. So I shopped by myself. I went to a lot of stores. Eventually I drove out to Muskogee and visited another Museum. It was really tiny! They too had an art exhibit and there was this sculpture that I thought was superb. It wasn't quite finished, but it was so good. The guy who was working on it apparently passed away, but it was still so kewl. Then I bought a new dress so I'd have something to wear to church in the morning, I forgot to pack something nice for church. Oops. As soon as I got back to Muskogee, Mom got out of her case and we had a late lunch together. Then we went back to the motel and watched Ever After. I helped mom do her laundry and she got called back to the hospital. Stupid Call. She really hates call, and I can see why.
Sunday, we had breakfast together and as soon as we got done she was called back to work. I went up to our room, packed and headed off to church. It was a good service. Very fiery. Mom got to come to like, the last five minutes, but at least I got to see her and say bye to her properly before I left.
It was a nice relaxing weekend. Slow paced and enjoyable. Plus I got a lot of thoughts off my mind and some what situated. I love my Mom. Hope she gets to come home soon.
