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…
What I’m Into (September 2013 Edition)
Here it is, October. OCTOBER! So far it still feels like late summer around here but that will change tomorrow as a cold front comes through bringing rain and high temperatures not expected to get out of the 60s. I can’t really complain, however, since several friends have been posting pictures of snow on Facebook…
Keeping busy
First, how about an “Autumn on Apple Tree Farm” picture? I took this while walking Shiloh this morning: So, what have we been up to the past several days? Well, it hasn’t been sleeping, that’s for certain. This past Thursday we went to see Mary Poppins at the McSwain Theater here in town (they show…
Talk Like a Pirate Day
Aye, mateys, it be Talk Like a Pirate Day. I be missin’ New Orleans and all me pirate buckos. The captain and I will be bucklin’ our swashes and downin’ some grog with friends tonight. Or something like that. Actually we are meeting up with a couple of friends for drinks and then with other…

I think we’ve just about got this weekend thing figured out. You should be exhausted by Sunday night, right? David had one heck of a week at work and was more than ready for Friday night. We went to the Statesman Lounge to hear Mandala perform and to reveal the gender of her baby due in…
My birthday weekend
David took me to Oklahoma City and Dallas this past weekend to celebrate my birthday. I feel utterly spoiled. And exhausted. Hey, if you don’t come home tired you aren’t doing it right. Right? Right. We headed to “the city” (that’s Okie-speak for Oklahoma City) Friday afternoon. We didn’t get out of town until 3…
Celebrating the Good Life
This is my birthday week and I’m spreading out the celebration. On Monday we went out to dinner with our kids and three couples we’ve been friends with for ages. The four kids ate dinner with us and visited for awhile before leaving the “old folks” to our own devices. We ended up chatting at…
Fireworks and Rowdy Folk
For the second year in a row we had a prime viewing spot for our town’s 4th of July fireworks display. Friends invited us to join them at their house which has a perfect view. We were having a lovely time visiting, eating homemade ice cream and watching the fireworks: And then for the second…
