A couple of weeks ago I posted about my personal peace plan. I listed five parts to this plan: Meditation Yoga Prayer Inspiration Porch Time When I posted the link on my Well-Groomed Hippie Facebook page, a friend commented that exercise and drawing were keys to his personal sense of peace. As soon as I…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 14
It’s been a long and busy day so this will be short. Today I am thankful for our church choir. We had rehearsal tonight and once again I was reminded of how much it means to me not only to have the opportunity to sing in a choir but to do so with people who…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 7
On this, the 7th “Day of Thankfulness”, I’m thankful for music. I simply cannot imagine life without it. Music gives me energy when I’m tired, cheers me when I’m feeling low, calms me when I’m agitated and always…always soothes my soul. One of our favorite things to do in New Orleans is listen to live…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 20 – Rocking the Porch Time
David is away on a business trip and I miss him terribly. However, I’m learning to make the best of these times. The weather is absolutely perfect tonight so I spent the evening on the porch, hanging out with Shiloh and watching our dear friends, Debi and the Deacons, performing in New Orleans via webcam….
Getting Lucky
We’ve been having so much fun lately that I haven’t had time to blog about it all. Back on September 29th we went to McAlester to hear our friends Aaron and Lindsay of Rowdy Folk perform at Lucky’s. We went early enough to eat dinner at Gia Como’s and check in quickly at our hotel….

David and I long ago made a deliberate decision to have more fun. And for us, music is always a good way to do just that. Very little makes us happier than the opportunity to experience live music. That’s one of the reasons we love New Orleans so much. We kicked off the weekend by…
Summer date night
This was David’s first car. He bought it at age 15 and this is the car we dated in. Before our son turned 16, the two of them rebuilt it. Unfortunately they did such a stellar job that it seemed too nice to drive much. Chris ended up driving our old pickup most of the…
Memorial Day weekend at Happyland
Happyland Music Fest ’11 In just a few short hours the 5th annual Happyland Music Fest will kick off in our backyard. Tents will be erected, burgers will be grilled and music will fill the air. (I am just hoping all our neighbors have decided to go to the lake for the weekend.) What started…
The pleasures of the porch
It only took 14 years of living here but I’ve finally discovered the “pleasures of the porch”. We have a large, shady front porch but for some reason we’ve never fully appreciated and enjoyed it. I’m not entirely sure why although Oklahoma weather extremes and bugs certainly play a role. David is a mosquito magnet…
