I walked around the property today and found some lettuces starting to come up in the garden. Also, tulips. It is a nice day today, warm but windy so I won't be raking leaves. Yesterday Andy and I went to OK City for "Municipal Government Day at the Capitol". Andy had participated in a Citizen Leadership Training course and received a certificate from State government officials (the Governor wasn't available). We also met with Tom Ivester and Mike Sanders, our representatives in state government, and reiterated our town's need for their support and involvement in helping us get the local prison reopened and possibly get a DOC work center here. A work center has been helpful in other western OK communities in providing manpower to get some cleanup work done that our city employees don't have time to do. Andy never stops trying. I am meeting with the high school principal later this afternoon to see if we can get some local students interested in an art program I read about in the paper. Gotta run!
