My previous record was three posts in one day but the way things are going I just might surpass that today. After all, the best way to cope with a very long to-do list is to post lots of blog entries, right? So what shall we talk about? Oh, I know. How about the way…
Me, again
Two posts in one day and it’s only a little after 8 a.m. Do you think a 16 ounce mug of tea and 32 ounces of coffee is too much to consume before most people even get to work? Or is caffeine like love and you can never have too much? And what about global…
A Two-Pot Day
David had to leave at 4:15 a.m. in order to catch an early flight to Little Rock. There was no reason for me to be up that early but do you think I could go back to sleep? Noooo… even though we hadn’t gone to sleep until after midnight. I finally gave up a little…
The Missing Key
I found it. The missing freezer key, that is. I knew I was the last one to put anything in the freezer so I just couldn’t imagine that I had put the key anywhere but its usual place. I did look around on the floor but between the dog food dish, David’s firefighter equipment, the…
My Turn
I guess I shouldn’t have expressed such enjoyment over David’s *show* the other day because on Saturday morning I got a little taste of mortification myself.

A Perfect Meal
I just finished the most delicious meal. I had baked bread this evening and that formed the basis of my dinner. Along with a slice of homemade whole wheat bread still hot from the oven and dripping with real butter, I also had: -three small pieces of cheese (Tillamook sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, smoked gouda)…
Life in the Country: A Cautionary Tale
Living in the country for an extended period of time can cause one to become complacent about certain things — like wearing clothes, for instance. When your nearest neighbor is nearly a quarter of a mile away and the space between is heavily wooded, clothing is optional. Now, don’t get me wrong. We are in…
Life on Apple Tree Farm
Apple Tree Farm –that’s what we call our place here in rural Oklahoma. It’s really kind of a joke since it isn’t truly a farm and we only have one apple tree. But it is 40 acres of lovely property in the country with the potential to be a small farm. I no doubt watched…
This is the way we mop our floors
This is the way we mop our floors, mop our floors, mop our floors… I’ve spent quite a bit of time decluttering lately, at the expensive of other household chores. Like mopping the kitchen, for instance. Since we don’t have toddlers spilling things, it wasn’t horrible, but it still needed a good scrubbing. It also…
