You know you're in Oklahoma if...


I feel like a true Oklahoman now. I went into a gas station the other day, and discovered that they not only sold gas and potato chips, but also horse saddles, along with any equipment you would need for horseriding! Really. Only in Oklahoma.

Second Singapore Trip!



Salma and I stopped through Singapore again for a couple of days, on our way back to the US. Salma loved the water play area at the science museum, and we had a great time with Hnin Oo Wai on Sentosa Island. They have a fabulous aquarium there with a moving sidewalk that goes through the fish tank. And we watched a great dolphin show. But Salma's favorite part was definitely playing on the beach!
