“We the People…” We first hear those words in elementary school but spend a lifetime grappling with what they truly mean. Arguably, when first written, “People” only referred to white males who owned property. Women, poor whites, and most certainly people of color were not afforded the same rights and most didn’t even question that….
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 11 – Carpe Diem
This morning I checked the upcoming weather forecast and was delighted to see this: It is currently 82 degrees and I just took Shiloh for a walk. I purposely took my phone so I could capture a bit of fall color. That last one wasn’t an attempt to be artsy but a matter of accidentally…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 9 – A Home of Plenty
Yesterday Lisa and I did our big monthly shopping trip to Norman and Oklahoma City. I tried to write this post late last night but our Internet was creeping along at a snail’s pace so I gave up trying to load pictures. I had a noon meeting today and a hair appointment after that and…

This has been a busy day getting ready for my big, monthly shopping trip with my daughter tomorrow, plus a meeting this evening. I’d love to say I worked in time to do a little Autumn nesting but that simply didn’t happen. Instead I decided I would share a couple of sources of inspiration so…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 7 – Happy Feet
I really don’t like to wear socks. If I could wear nothing but my Birkenstocks year round, I’d be happy. Unfortunately my feet get cold and then I feel cold all over. Guess it’s time to drag out my socks and order some more. I have a couple of pairs of these: I am going…
