[speaker002:] really oh uh-huh
[speaker001:] so uh we are we're originally from Virginia this part of the country but we did spend twenty years in Norman and Enid and loved it
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] but we needed to get back uh to our older parents
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] but I am loving it the weather is divine
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] was uh did you like Oklahoma while you were there
[speaker001:] oh yes very much yeah
[speaker002:] um what did you all do
[speaker001:] well my husband was with uh University of Oklahoma and Phillips University in Enid and then he went with uh a family corporation that had uh has oil and ranching
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] and varied enterprises
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh he just quit a perfectly good job and came we came East yes
[speaker002:] really so is uh is he working there then or
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh he's doing uh quite a bit of consulting work and has been offered a permanent position and he's contemplating he he's liking this free time actually
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh uh-huh oh yeah
[speaker001:] it's just wonderful after all these years of working
[speaker002:] yeah yeah well how did how did you get uh hooked up with the TI switchboard thing
[speaker001:] um a gal who works uh with TI on this project I think she's a temporary worker uh mother is my best friend in Virginia so
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh I see I see
[speaker001:] we have spread the word a little bit in this part of the country
[speaker002:] uh-huh well I my wife has talked more than I have uh she's talked to four five different people it seems like she hasn't talked to anybody from Dallas in fact she's talked to a couple of people from North Carolina I think yeah
[speaker001:] really uh what is her name
[speaker002:] her name's Tina
[speaker001:] yeah well I haven't talked to her I haven't I haven't talked to a Tina yet
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh well uh the the call was probably for her they wouldn't accept my uh T I N number so we put hers in but uh uh like I said we're getting getting the kids ready to go to the birthday party so but uh
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] some what yeah I I've only talked to one or two and they've they've all been in Dallas but she hasn't talked to anybody in Dallas yet so that's interesting
[speaker001:] yeah yeah well you haven't told me uh what sports that you are active in
[speaker002:] well the sport I like best probably is basketball but uh I guess I'm probably better at softball and so I'd like during the summer months it's occupies quite a bit of my time but
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] I play in a couple of leagues and and occasionally in a tournament or something on a weekend but my family usually goes with me we try to do everything we can together
[speaker001:] well I think that's uh easy entertainment for a family too
[speaker002:] yeah yeah well they uh a good friend of mine that plays on one of my teams we uh that's usually the team I play on with the tournaments and stuff and they have a couple of kids that are almost my kids age so they play together pretty well and
[speaker001:] under the stands under the bleachers
[speaker002:] yeah yeah pretty much and uh Tina enjoys uh the other lady real well so they you know that's kind of nice it's like getting together with them so to speak
[speaker001:] uh-huh yes well it's getting a little hot isn't it it
[speaker002:] yeah well it's been raining a lot here so far so we haven't really had any kind of real heat I think it's going to be warm enough this afternoon we were noticing a while ago it's already eighty in in the house so it looks like an air conditioner day but
[speaker001:] yeah it sure does or maybe this evening anyway
[speaker002:] yeah it yeah but you know I'm sure you're familiar with that living here we go we go through Enid you know quite a bit we go to Tulsa from time to time and my my parents live in southern Illinois so we drive up there and
[speaker001:] very much so yeah
[speaker002:] well lots lot of times we take seventy five and uh it seems like seems like that goes through Enid I know I've either seen the signs or
[speaker001:] no no it doesn't Enid is uh it's in the northwest it's uh directly across the straight uh state from Tulsa
[speaker002:] um I know I've seen the sign somewhere yeah
[speaker001:] uh sure you have yes well Enid is not uh an unknown little city it uh
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] an awful lot of people know where it is or have been there and it was uh a very uh self-sufficient uh wealthy uh town for a long time anyway
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know until uh everything happened the bottom fell out
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh
[speaker001:] but it's beginning to do well but there's a lot of uh old time wealth there that has helped to stabilize things
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh uh-huh so uh how long you said you've just lived in North Carolina just like six months then is
[speaker001:] since yes something like that oh
[speaker002:] and you really like it there huh I've heard so many people talk about that area I've never been there but they sure say it's pretty
