Having Fun!

December 2024

This week I had the opportunity to run into my good friend  John Cox, author of four books (www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BXW1HY3T) . Both of us were having an enjoyable conversation about being an author. I always look for him when I go to my doctor’s appointments there at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK.

​I also volunteered to work a couple of hours for the Oklahoma City Public School District’s Read OKC Book Bus at Rockwood Elementary in Oklahoma City. This was an amazing experience since I was able to donate a set of books to the elementary school and help students from PreK, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and Special Needs Classes find the book that they want to keep. I loved how the children’s faces lit up when they came on the bus.

Next, I attended the Christmas in the Park at Choctaw Creek Park . There was a tremendous amount of people there celebrating and  opportunites for visiting over 70 vendors. There were local elementary, jr. high, and high school choirs singing for the crowd.

Also, there was pictures with Santa Claus, games, food, hot drinks, raffles, and much more fun. I even got to see the replica of a superhero’s car. It was a little warm at first and then got cold later on as it got dark. The finale was a twenty-five minute round of fireworks being fired off. Overall, it was a fun event.

During my time with my booth, I had several fans who were children come up to me . One middle schooler remembered me from years past and was letting me know which books she had.  Two other children (one from a daycare and an elementary school ) mentioned me coming to their respective places. This really made me feel like what I am doing is important. This is the reason I do what I do.

 Further fun was had this week when I made a Christmas ornament for a table at a place I attend and   then took time to take some fun pictures at another    event.

I am off to do some planning for 2025 and spending time  with the family. Look forward to momentous events and books to come. 

Happy Holidays to everyone! Do not be surprised if you   see me on Facebook and other social media platforms.
