A gated patio home community with a beautiful pond, fountains and walking trails, Bradford Park provides all the amenities you might be looking for. Enjoy the dining room, library, beauty salon and barber shop, fitness equipment, fishing pond and many other conveniences. Home and yard maintenance are provided.

Bradford Park is the newest addition to Baptist Village of Owasso, the area’s largest continuing care community.

My daughter lives just north of Owasso so that makes it easy for her and the boys to come and see me.

I will be in the building that has the Green Pointer shown near the top center.

Flippin’ and Floppin’.

PORT LAVACA – The day’s forecast called for 90-degree weather, food, music and flip flops. Plenty of flip flops.

The city held its first ever Flip Flop festival on the Bayfront Peninsula Saturday.

Though the event was not as large as other longer-running Festivals, the event was far from a flop.

“It’s controlled chaos, but it’s good,” said Lacey Ekberg, Chamber of Commerce director. “It’s definitely pretty good for the first year.”

Ekberg and several other event organizers set up prior to the event wearing yellow shirts that read, “Don’t make me slap you with my flip flop.”

The big thing is that the costs of the Medicare prescription drug program are going up along with the Medicare Part B coverage. So if there is no COLA for 2 years, and the insurance premiums increase that works out to a decrease in your monthly SS benefit.

The government seems to think that the automakers, fannie mae, fannie mac and other big mismanaged companies are more important than over 30 million seniors.

One thing for sure is that the seniors vote and they don’t forget being mistreated.
