We had a little unplanned and unwanted excitement at my husband's homestead last Sunday. We were headed to Texas for fishing and Christmas music after church in Norman but got an “uh-oh” call just north of Ardmore.

About 15 to 20 acres burned. Fortunately, there was no damage to structures. Good work by Lindsay, Myra and other volunteer firefighters.

And I made it to hear my niece in the Christmas program.

But we didn't make it to the lake.
