Click here for more menu ideas! This is going to be a crazy-busy week for me. I deliver Meals On Wheels three days, have a hair appointment, two meetings, a trip to Norman and a friend has invited me over to swim in her pool. I have a basket of peaches to make into jam,…
Cruising Main
Last night, despite the ridiculous heat, we took out the Mustang again and joined other classic cars and hot rods in a cruise down Main Street, Ada. It was a special event in coordination with the McSwain Theatre’s showing of “Grease”. Even though it was hotter than bloody blues, it was still fun to cruise…
Summer date night
This was David’s first car. He bought it at age 15 and this is the car we dated in. Before our son turned 16, the two of them rebuilt it. Unfortunately they did such a stellar job that it seemed too nice to drive much. Chris ended up driving our old pickup most of the…
Fun on the fourth
We celebrated the 4th of July with friends last night. These lucky folks own a house near the park with a perfect view of the fireworks display. People began showing up around 7 for grilled hamburgers and all sorts of delicious side dishes. It was an unusually nice evening for July. The humidity was relatively…
Land of the free
This is one of the things which has made America great: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! Happy Independence Day!

Homemade bleu cheese dressing
Update: I have since found a better recipe. Here is the link. Ever since I can remember I’ve loved a good bleu cheese salad dressing. Or roquefort, but you don’t seem to see that as much anymore. There are several good commercial brands available but I decided to try to make my own. I found…
Yo ho ho!
That lavender bandana he’s been wearing was just a wee bit girly but thanks to Tori at Torizworld, Shiloh now sports this awesome new one. Her dog, Kero, got one for his birthday recently and when I asked where she bought it she kindly offered to send one to Shiloh. Wasn’t that sweet? Now I will…
Daily rituals
I don’t really like the idea of a schedule. “Routine” sounds a little better but also a bit boring. But “ritual” has a pleasant, soothing connotation for me. Over the past few weeks my evening porch time has developed into a ritual of sorts. After all my evening responsibilities are taken care of, I pour…
