Sometime's I'm amazed at my own hometown pride! I am incredibly proud to be from
PONCA CITY, OKLAHOMA. HOME OF THE FIGHTING WILDCATS!
That's how I usually respond when asked! When I reminisce about my childhood I think of swimming lessons at Bogan Pool. Elementary school sports. Running the neighborhood without shoes on and your toes getting cut from the grass. My parents playing cards with their church friends (Mom would always buy frozen Chocolate Sara Lee cake).
Spending Sunday's after church with my Dad showing Patti and I how to clean coins.. My Mom doing her crossword puzzles and smoking cigarette after cigarette. (The reason I never smoked)
My older sister Darlene lining us up to play Capt'n Big Stuff! A game she created to smack the crap out of us! I was in a band... David on the drums, Patti strumming guitar, and me on lead vocals! We would sing louder then the record player! If I remember right the Monkee's were one of our favorites! It all seems like yesterday.. but now just hazy memories that I find myself going back over in my mind. I was truly blessed with having the parents that I did. My love for my Brother and Sisters still so strong. I'm glad to be heading home.....
That brings so many memories Sis... do you remember the carinivals we used to have in the neighbor's backyards? I remember the duet that you and Tori sang - it was a Carpenter's song...Why do birds suddenly appear...every time you are near?...
