The eagerly awaited day has arrived. As soon as David and Chris can finish up at work we are off to New Orleans! We are driving this time and after seeing how many bags “David the Pirate” has packed of just his stuff, I can only hope we can fit it all in the Prius. …
Volunteer Firefighters
David has been a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Responder for the Happyland Fire Department for several years. It’s a great department with dedicated volunteers who selflessly give of their time to serve and protect the community of Happyland, Oklahoma. Yesterday the local homeschool 4H group held a fundraiser for the department. It had rained…
Life on the patio…
All summer we went out with friends at least once and often twice a week. These weren’t usually planned affairs but more of the “Let’s do something tonight” variety. We met for dinners, enjoyed live music at various venues, did a bit of karaoke and mostly just hung out together enjoying one another’s company. Then…
A bit of insight…
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here or just on Dee’s Kitchen, but we are currently vegetarian. Well, if you want to be precise, we are lacto-ovo-pescetarians. In other words, we eat dairy, eggs and seafood (at least when in New Orleans), but no meat. It all started about a year ago when our…

The Gift…
David bought me an absolutely perfect birthday gift last year. He paid for five massages with the most incredible massage therapist. Well, I’ve only been to one other so I suppose I can’t say for sure, but I will tell you that I left feeling like a wet noodle after today’s session. Indiana (isn’t that…
Memory Lane Monday…The Dick Van Dyke Show
I absolutely adore this show. We have several episodes on DVD and I watched this one on Friday. I thought I’d seen most of the episodes but somehow I’d missed this one. It’s a fine example of just why this show was popular in its time and yet still remains entertaining for today’s audience. It…
Guest Post Friday – Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup
I love a good soup when the weather gets chilly and I will definitely be giving this one a try! Kim’s Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup By Kim Patrie I make this when I am feeling under the weather. Vegetarians can substitute a can of chickpeas for the chicken. The curry is optional, but when your…
