One of my favorite college courses was “Art in Life” and I especially enjoyed the architecture portion of the class. When asked what I like about New Orleans, one of the things on my list is the architecture. That’s part of the reason I’ve always wanted to see Paris. I’ve seen the pictures…and have been…
Paris, je t’aime
Oh, Paris…how do I begin to share what a glorious time we had? I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris since I was a little girl and David made my dream come true last week. I knew I’d love it but I wasn’t sure about David. He was doing this for me and I knew he’d do…
I’M GOING TO PARIS!!!
This past Friday night was one of the best nights of my life. I’m hesitant to even blog about it because there is no way I can do it justice. However, I’m going to give it a whirl. First we went out to dinner with these beautiful people: David and Joy Winchester Then we…
Life is still good in New Orleans
Just a quick update: We arrived in New Orleans Friday afternoon and have been going strong ever since. Music, food, and friends…yes, life is still good here. Today we have three music shows to catch – Rhythm and Rain, Debi and the Deacons, and Mark and the Pentones. It’s good to have such talented friends…
California Trip Update

Family
This is my view this morning as I sip a cup of Earl Grey. For so many years this has been one of my happy places. I wish I were here under different circumstances but we do what we need to do for the people we love. Please continue to keep my uncle (and those…
California Bound
I’m on an unplanned journey to California. A very dear uncle is seriously ill and my parents decided to head to California to see him. They don’t like to fly and I was concerned about them driving all that way so I packed my bags last night and we headed out this morning. This picture…
Love and the City
I often wonder what I ever did to deserve the life I live. This weekend was simply wonderful in every way. David and I had planned to leave Friday morning around 10 but it was more like 11 before we actually got out of town. We spent the drive reminiscing about the early days of…
The Blue Whale of Catoosa
I’ve been hearing about the “Blue Whale of Catoosa” for quite some time and after reading this Buzz Feed post, “The 45 Best Things About Living in Oklahoma”, I was determined to see the whale for myself. It occurred to me as we were driving up to Joplin on Sunday that we probably weren’t too…
