I'm not sure if I've ever told you just how I came about the business name OEKE. Well, my 'inspiration' is these 2 .. my boys. They inspire me to 'be' alot of things .. and inspire me to 'do' alot of things too. I don't usually put family pics on this wee little blog - but if I am to tell you how the OEKE name was decided, I can't not post a pic.
Their names are Joe and Luke. And the name OEKE is the last 2 letters from their names .. (j)OE .. (lu)KE .. sounds pretty simple now I've shown you huh. This is one of my favourite pics of them - they are sitting on the front gates and look so happy, so grown up and so brotherly. Their smiles are super big and they are looking all summery (this was from last summer).
Oh, and if you wondering how to say it .. it is pronounced OH-KEY (like Ni-Ke .. or karoeke).
Having the Mr's birthday party here today so best get off the computer and get cooking. Have a great weekend everyone (at least it's stopped raining here for the moment).
Just logged on, coffee in hand to see what my blogging friends were up to this morning and there was a new post from you! Lovely story how the name came about, and a beautiful pic of your boys. x
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice! The photo is beautiful for all the reasons you say... enjoy the birthday celebrations.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love your business name and now knowing where it comes from is even more special, thank you.

Oh what lovely lil fellas you have!
ReplyDeleteGod, Linda, you appear to have it all worked out - what gorgeous boys! Sometimes I feel my life is all about other peoples houses and that there's nothing left for me. If I don't start making time for dating, I worry it's all I'll have. Especially as I'm sitting here at my desk, on a Sunday night...
