After dinner tonight, Nettl and I went down to Shake's, where we got a frozen custard sundae each. We then drove out to Couch Park. Sitting on a bench beneath the tall trees that buzzed with cicadas, we ate our sundaes and talked about Vienna, the kids and life while all around us people barbecued, picnicked and played volley ball and horseshoes. We sat there, surrounded by Americana. A balmy summer evening in an Oklahoma town. It was pretty heartwarming, even for future ex-pat like me.It was nice getting out and doing that.
