I took this short video today while walking Shiloh. I wanted to share the birdsong – it’s like living in a bird sanctuary out here! You can also see Shiloh’s summer haircut.
Oklahoma, my home
Friends in other parts of the country ask how I can bear to live in a place with such a high risk of tornadoes and I totally get where they are coming from. The destruction that took place in Moore, Oklahoma yesterday is truly overwhelming and the scenes of distraught parents waiting to hear whether…
Tornado update
I’m getting lots of messages from friends in other areas worried about us here in Oklahoma. So far we are fine but there’s a storm heading our way. David is at work and they have a storm shelter. Chris and Kadi are on their way home. Lisa and Justin are in town, closely monitoring the…
Family time
My aunt and uncle from California were here in Oklahoma visiting for a few days and we took a little trip to Turner Falls. Yes, the same place where I had my excellent adventure last week. It was another gorgeous day and we all enjoyed the pretty views. Left to right: Dwain (my dad), Mary (my…
May Grocery Haul

A perfect day
I’m not sure what I did to deserve such a wonderful family. They totally spoiled me yesterday for Mother’s Day.

The Gifts of Friendship
Sometimes I get discouraged by the actions of certain folks but then I’m reminded of the many wonderful friends I have and how much they care about and appreciate me. I think the good Lord knew I needed a few of those reminders recently and I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and generosity of friends…
Shrimp étouffée
I think I’m missing Louisiana food. Tonight I’ve got smothered pork chops cooking to serve over rice, cabbage cooked with bacon and onions, and a squash casserole. Last night I set out to make vegetable soup and somehow ended up making gumbo instead. And then last Friday I made shrimp étouffée. It was my first time…
