  • In Memory of My Dad #36–relatives

    I’m so glad to have discovered a story from my dad to share with you today.  Months ago, my sister sent via her husband, a large canvas box filled with Tahlequah Times Journal newspapers from the years my dad worked there.  I thought I had shared all the “stories” and was left with sports articles of… Read more

  • Lessons from Gus

    Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite movies.  It’s in my top five for sure, right up there with Gone With the Wind and Pulp Fiction.  If you’ve never seen Lonesome Dove, rent it sometime—someday when you have about 5 hours to spare.  Augustus McCrae is an endearing character who, in my opinion, makes the… Read more

  • J-Dub’s Burfday

    Today my sweet husband turns 38 years old. Remember when you were a little kid and made homemade cards?  I’m still doing that.  Especially after I’ve already gotten home from town and forgotten the dang thing. He’s not home yet, because he’s still working.  That’s what he does.   Works his butt off.  The word… Read more

  • Eggs!!

    I peeked into the chicken feeder to see how low the chickens were getting on feed, and just take a looky-look at what I discovered.   Yup, eggs.  In the feeder.  Our very first crop, if that’s what you call it.  I had been checking for eggs daily, but foolish me, was looking in the… Read more

  • Why I Blog

    I began blogging in November 2008 for reasons unexplainable.  It first began as a place to journal my unprivate thoughts and to catalogue my days. I blogged six days in November of 2008 and then didn’t blog again until January of 2009.  After that it was hit and miss for a season or two.  It’s hard… Read more

  • In Memory of My Dad #19

    If you are shading the wrong side of 50, you are one of the unheeded senior citizens and you can always make an escape to your own personal hideout to get away from the witchy world of today by going into your own kitchen. Here among the rich smells of good food cooking, and the… Read more

  • Nostalgia

        A drive down Highway 10 will snake you through beautiful Green Country. Past trees and hills and green galore.  A very different view than the flat, yellow, arid, blowing, dusty pasture grasses that I gaze upon each morning from my kitchen window. A drive down Highway 10 will snake you past Lover’s Leap, Kooter’s… Read more

  • Summertime and the Living is Easy

    School’s out for summer! Sing it Alice, sing it. Just in case you’re wondering, that’s not me on the last day of school.  That’s Alice Cooper, but even I admit the resemblance is uncanny. Today I woke up and literally jumped for joy.  My beloved husband said, “Does this mean you’re going to be in… Read more

  • Jiggity Jig

    My sister-in-law called me the other day bubbling with excitement about the jigsaw puzzles she found for me. After I got them in my hot little paws, I’m bubbling with excitement as well. I am restraining myself from starting them now.  I have to wait until June, my schedule will only allow it.  If you’re… Read more
