“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
~ William Jennings Bryan
Every once in a while I catch a glimpse of Angie Bliss Fanning on my refrigerator door and giggle. That day at the creek in Proctor, Oklahoma some twenty years ago was pretty dang fun, as you might imagine. My strongest memory from the day, besides Angie making faces at me, was being held at bay by an angry turkey from across the creek. Regina Barnett, Carol Drake, Kate Michael Gibson, and Tammy Jo O’Neal joined us as we cooled our heels in the crystal clear, cold water that offered protection from said angry turkey. I keep an old Polaroid that Kiya Heartwood took next to Angie on the fridge to remind me of what a special, golden place Oklahoma is. The photos bring me much joy.
