Closing in on State Budget

By the time you read this article, we could have a state budget. House and Senate leaders are still negotiating, but we are very close to a final product.

Senate Review

We’re getting closer to the end of this year’s legislative session. As written in Oklahoma’s Constitution, the Legislature must adjourn by 5 p.m. on the last Friday in May. That’s just a couple of weeks away, but we still have some work to do finalizing the Fiscal Year 2023 budget.

We had two men on separate occasions to visit the museum this week. It was their first time to visit it and one said he was going to bring his wife for a tour when he could. The Watonga third graders all wrote us thank you notes.

Hi everybody! I hope you are all well. Wasn't the rain wonderful? There are seven geese out in the gully in front of our house and they are sure enjoying the water that's flowing. It's really cool to watch them. Things were pretty quiet at the Center last week. There's not much to report on.

Saturday late afternoon, the Matrons Rook Club met at the Sr. Center to enjoy our monthly senior rook playing. All of a sudden, someone said "oh my goodness, what is that.” We looked out the double doors and saw that it was actually raining!!

Happy Mother's Day

Erma Bombeck, the queen of all mothers, said it best when she wrote her Mother's Day 1974 column entitled “When God Created Mothers.” If you haven't read it, I recommend you do because it is so true.

The photographer from Oklahoma Today Magazine was out Saturday to take more pictures of the home and was there about an hour. The Ferguson Home will be in the July/August issue. We are so excited to be chosen for this. No visitors this week except for the photographer.
