“Remind yourself that your mental & emotional health are important.” ~ Allan Lokos
Angie took me to the Illinois River Village where many friends have homes or cottages. Some were flooded in the record flood that hit back in December. The rebuilding continues. We went specifically to see Shelley Womack and Charlie Tannehill. They’re building a small cabin in the village, the skeleton of which was, fortunately, spared during the flood. You’ll meet Shelley later, but for tonight, I leave you with this bit of fun we saw. I used to jump off the cliffs of an old strip mine at Malone. That cliff was twice as high as this ledge, but when you’re a kid and you’re hot, it doesn’t matter how high the cliff is. It’s all fun. If I’d had some river shoes and a change of clothes, you can bet I would have followed this boy off the ledge. One of the reasons I love Oklahoma so much is because of the water.
