I remember watching Mister Rogers as a child although I was a bit older than the target audience. I was seven when the show began but I had younger brothers and cousins. We all spent a lot of time at our grandparents’ house and Grandma always turned this on for us to watch each day….
A Slow Month Update – January totals
January is over (can you believe that?!) and I thought I’d do a quick report on my “slow month” challenge. My last post was this past Sunday and I haven’t bought any groceries since. That means the grand total for the month is (drum roll, please): $137.81 I’m really pleased with that, especially since it…
A slow month update- January 27, 2013
I’ve made two brief shopping trips since my last “slow month” update. I had volunteered to make a big pan of green beans for a local charity organization so I ran in to Apple Market following the MLK event Monday. I needed green beans and bacon for the dish (I still had onion at home)…
A day of service
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day I participated in a local service project. As I’ve mentioned before, I serve on our city’s Multiculturalism Committee and this was our first event. We partnered with the university’s Pi Sigma Alpha Political Science Honor Society and the Ada Sunrise Rotary Club to host a city-wide trash…
Another “Slow Month” – January 2013

Just not ready…
I decided that I’m just not quite ready to un-decorate my house. I said this to David last night and he said, “It’s our house; we can do what we want.” So I decided that at least for now I’m not taking down the tree. Instead, I’m going to decorate it for Mardi Gras. I’ll…
Farewell, Christmas…
Just a little tour of our house decorated for Christmas: It’s funny what you see when you photograph or video tape your house. It probably looks a little cluttered to some of you. Part of that will be gone when I put away the decorations but the truth is that, despite the fact I like…
Starting the New Year off right
We had a most wonderful time ringing in the New Year in our favorite city with some of our favorite people. In fact, we had such a good time that I didn’t even take very many photos. Our flight left the OKC airport at about 8 a.m. Sunday morning. We are *not* morning people so…
