I work a 9/80 schedule. In other words I work 80 hours in 9 days over two weeks. So I get every other Friday off. I love it!!!! Sweetie and I generally spend it together and we spend it doing fun stuff.
This Friday, after I took SuperPizzaBoy to school, we had breakfast and puttered around the grocery store for a little while. Then we loaded up the bicycles and headed off for the Arkansas River trails.
The River Parks in Tulsa are beautiful. They are one of the great features of the city.
It was a perfect day, warm, dry, sunny.
I just love cranes, don’t you??? A new restaurant is being built over the river. It is going to be way cool when completed.
Sights on the River.
Old Route 66 marks the north end of the River Trails.
I always like to go by the “Bear Fountain.”
Afterwards we refueled on Diet Doctor Pepper, dropped the bikes off, picked up our Pomeranian, Rascal, and went to pick SuperPizzaBoy up.
Hey Bud, if you had a better day than we did, you had a great day!
Nope, we are not at the end yet. Sorry, I know that I need to get my story told in 5 seconds, but you have stuck around this long, stick around a little longer. I promised an Adoption Story and that is coming up!
SPB is having his friend Nick over for a sleepover so we went to pick up Nick. I love picking up Nick, he and his family are very nice and they also have critters.
They also have dogs, cats, chickens, peacocks, and Guineafowl. I posted about the helmeted guineafowl last week.
Well, today I got to talking to Nick’s Dad. He said one of the peacocks had laid some eggs but they never hatched so he want to a farm supply store and got some guinea eggs and substituted them for the peacock eggs.
Well, the eggs hatched and the peacock acts like the mother of the guinea chicks and the chicks think the peacock is mom. It is hilarious. I got a little close to the chicks and Mom was hollering at me, she was not happy at all. Sorry about the blurry photo. It was the best I could do without totally stressing her out.
What do you like to do on your days off?
You sure know how to pack a lot of fun into a day! What a great place for riding bikes, I love the bear fountain and of course the sheep!
My husband works long hours so on days off we like to spend time together, we don’t always make plans…just nice to be together 🙂
I always smile when you talk about Sweetie, that’s what my husband has called me since we first met. LOL!
Happy Weekend!
☼ Sunny

Gosh – Sweetie even looks good in a bike helmet. This is kind of demoralizing to me. SPB has a great smile! The bird story reminds me of the children’s book, “Are you My Mother?”
Isn’t getting a day off during the work week fun? You’re enjoying the day while everyone else is working. I think Rascal wants to drive.
You are a blessed man, and inspiring, and thank you
I love adoption stories. Even this one. 🙂
I am retired. My week is 6 Saturdays and a Sunday.
I don’t know of anyone who enjoys his family more than you do. I think you are an OK guy.
Such a wonderful day and what a sweet story..I think animals are very good with this adoption thing
What a cute dog sitting in the driver’s lap.
What a fun day and that blue sky is absolutely gorgeous! I love the peacock mom and her babies.
Looks like a great day for all. I love the peacock and guinea adoption story.
You sure keep busy on your days off. Sounds like you had a great time though. Our days off usually envolve setting on our rears and relaxing.
Love peacocks…
This easy and everyone who reads my stuff knows either painting or laying in the hammock reading!
You live in a nice area! Thanks for let us visit through your blog.
That’s hilarious about the peacock!
Cute, cute, cute picture of Sweetie!
I love that you all spend Friday’s together. That’s awesome.
I wish Brett and I had one day of the week to ourselves.
