Too often I hear people complain about there being nothing to do in our little Oklahoma town. It’s true we don’t have all the big city amenities but if you cultivate friendships and seek out opportunities for fun you’ll find plenty to do. Last night we were invited to two parties. The first was a…
French Friday ~ June 7, 2013
It’s been ages since I’ve done a “French Friday” post but I’d like to start them up again. I’ve been thinking about being more intentional in my daily routine and I think that returning to French-inspired living would help in that regard. Right now I’ve got to hurry and get ready to go. We have…
A Perfect Party
Yesterday was David’s birthday and we had such a fun party. A total of 22 of us gathered our chairs in a circle around the fire pit to tell stories, laugh and sing. A few of our favorite local musicians brought their instruments and serenaded us under a starry sky. Here is a picture of…
The Big Easy…in miniature
Today is David’s birthday and we’ve got a bunch of friends coming over in a little over an hour. We still have to eat dinner and I need to get the cherry pies in the oven (I’ve already got the pie crusts made). That means this is a good day to share this video I’ve…
A summer routine
It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…
Menu Monday ~ June 3, 2013
Click here or here for more menu ideas! Monday: I didn’t make tacos last Friday because my sweet husband offered to go pick up dinner from our favorite Italian restaurant. I had a rather intense dental appointment that afternoon and was still a bit loopy from the nitrous oxide. So tonight will be taco night….
Happyland Music Fest 2013
How do I begin to tell the story of the best party of the year? I’ve decided that Happyland Music Fest (HMF) just has to be experienced in order to understand it. But since that’s not possible for all my readers I’m going to try to at least share a taste of it. I think…
2013 WordCount Blogathon
I heard about this blogathon from my friend, Amanda, who blogs at Living, Learning, and Loving Life. I fully intended to sign up but our Internet was down due to storms and I missed the deadline. But while I can’t compete for prizes, I can still participate unofficially and that’s what I’m going to do….
Construction on Apple Tree Farm
We’ve had no Internet since storms came through Wednesday evening so my Happyland post is still on hold. In the meantime I thought I’d show you what David is up to. High up on that scaffolding he is ripping off the old siding which he will then replace with log siding. I’m terrified for him…
