The Ibama Twins Go Without Me to Oklahoma City

The boys went to Oklahoma City without me today because I came down with pneumonia. I was glad they went to attend the wedding of my niece, Carol, and to send my love and apologies. They told me they intend to take a lot of pictures (I lent them a camera) of the wedding but when they arrive in Oklahoma City they went directly to the Oklahoma City Memorial after they picked up the Hertz car Vinny had reserved for them.

Max and Rex were awed and saddened as you can see in this picture of the Memorial chairs. The chairs are located on the footprint of the Alfred P. Murrah building (the building that was bombed) and each chair represents a person who died that day. Smaller chairs represent the children who died.

I had hoped that I would have been able to visit the Memorial. Well, maybe someday.

Rex helps me pack

Rex recommended I take my purple big shirt and wear it with my leggings on the trip down to Oklahoma City. What a good idea, Rex! Thanks a lot!

Max helps with my packing list

Max is helping me create a packing list for my trip to Oklahoma City. He reminded me to bring backup shoes in case my new black suede shoes start to hurt. Rex is getting our suitcase down from the attic at the moment...

Hafer Park, Oklahoma on Google Earth

Rex is pointing out Hafer Park in Edmond, Oklahoma where maryt's niece's wedding is to take place.

There's a gazebo and a lovely lake as you can see on Google Earth.

We'll be sure to take pix on the day of the ceremony. The plan is to have breakfast in the park too.

Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean ... 

Back Home in Queens with maryt

Max is at the side entrance door of maryt's house in Queens, New York. Rex is dragging all the suitcases and luggage up the walkway.  Everyone is leaving at the end of the week for Oklahoma City and Carol's, maryt's niece's, wedding.

Jimmy, Carol's brother, is going with them. 

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

Back in the USA (Los Angeles)

Max just had to lay down when he got to the hotel from the Los Angeles Airport. Rex decided to sit out on the balcony and look out at the view. They weren't going to have much time for an adventure in Los Angeles which saddened both Max and Rex.

At Sydney Airport

The Ibama Twins are at the Sydney Airport because they have to take a quick trip back to the U.S. to attend Mary's niece's wedding at the end of next week. They will fly to Los Angeles and then back to New York to pack to go to the wedding with Mary and her husband Vinny in Oklahoma City. 

Next stop Los Angeles...
