Frightfully Delightful: Halloween 2009
Before the trick-or-treaters descended, we had a mission. We were going to look at dining room tables. We had a whole list of places to go check out. We made it to one. Just one. That was all it took. Here we were, prepared to do battle practically, and we find the perfect table at [...]
Wowzers!
Do you know what today is? Think, think, think. Well, it could be any number of things, you say. It’s Sunday. The 298th day of the year. Picasso’s birthday. Yes, today is a lot of things… but to which one am I referring? Need a hint? Look at the date: It is October 25. Ponder, [...]
…And Exhale
Today was a great day! The sun was shining, and (much more importantly) Kevin came home!! He was in CT for work, which added up to 74 hours apart this time. While that may sound like nothing to a couple who only saw each other on weekends for 99.99% of their courtship, I’d like to [...]

The big bowl of candy rounded out our Halloween decorating; so, as [...]

First stop was the Farmers’ Market to pick up some seasonal produce and some pretty flowers: Pretty flowers= favorite buy at the market! [...]
Back East for the Brooksie Way
This past weekend, we headed to the east side of the state to visit the fam, stock up on some good eats, and so Kevin could run the Brooksie Way Half-Marathon at Meadowbrook on the campus of OU. (Oh, the memories!) The first stop was a quick romp around campus, showing Kevin a few of [...]
Happy October!
Long pants. A jacket. Socks. Actual closed-toe shoes.There’s a definite chill in the air. I could even see my breath outside last night. It’s official. October is here. We spent last night exploring some of the Art Prize entries. It was sunny when we first got downtown, but as the sun set, it became increasingly [...]
