This morning I read a blog post that made me cry. Eleven year old Emily had been eagerly anticipating Mardi Gras and her favorite parade, the Krewe of Muses.

Happy Mardi Gras!
Laissez le bon temps rouler! If you’re very observant you may notice that this is the same picture I shared last Mardi Gras. After a busy afternoon making potato salad, jambalaya and beignets, and sharing this meal with my parents, I decided to cheat. Maybe I’ll take a picture tomorrow. Or maybe not. Anyway, as…

A Day of Winter in Oklahoma
I was thinking we might just skip winter here in Oklahoma this year. After last winter I was perfectly happy with that possibility. However, Ol’ Man Winter dropped in for a visit last night and left us with a dusting of snow. Fortunately we didn’t get the usual freezing rain/sleet/ice first. Just some nice, fluffy…
