So…the Senator’s daughter and I managed to sneak in a little road trip to New Mexico over Spring Break. Just us girls.
Along with my mom of course, because we stayed at her place!
We took in the sites..
It was just breathtaking.
And spiritual….
And serene.
And….interesting.
And unusually warm that week, so the Senator’s daughter grabbed her paints and we headed toward the river.
It was the perfect place to spend the afternoon…
And special time together.
Thanks mom!
The Senate has been in session for a little over a month now and they are kind of making a dent in the well over 2,500 pieces of legislation that were filed.
I think the Senator told me they were averaging about 70 bills a day? Not too shabby.
On another note, my mother-in-law turned 85 last week. She invited me to go to her garden club with her next month. I love that woman! Really, I do. You have no idea how much. She is an amazing lady and I have written about her before.
It’s also spring break here in Oklahoma, and let me tell ya – as tax payers….y’all are getting your money’s worth. No spring break for those elected officials down at the marble palace. The Senate will be in session all week which means we are …um, here…at home….
And, we’re having fun with that……
I think.

…or something like that. Our friend Pam, who works at the Capitol with the Senator, posted this fun video of some real action happening down at the marble palace. Pam has a blog, takes awesome photos and can now add videographer to her list of accomplishments. Here, she caught a little glimpse of life as a capitol intern and two Oklahoma teens making the most of walking the halls shouting “Roll Call,” over and over again.
Seriously, this young man should have a radio gig before he graduates. Awesome voice. Maybe they can record him doing his ‘roll call’ thing and simply punch play every day. Might lighten things up down there if you know what I mean….
Thanks Pam for catching this one on video!
