There is big news from Oklahoma this week…….I have turned into a pirate! No, I do not have a wooden leg, nor do I wear a tricorn (that’s a triangular hat from years gone by). Nothing so common for me dear readers……however, the latest addition to my personal life is a...

Hello all! I hope you have made it through the week in one piece! Here in Oklahoma, we are enjoying a lovely autumn, warm sunny days and cooler nights – I write this morning, under some duress. The milk in the fridge was sour, so I haven’t had my cup of...

Happy September everyone! You can almost feel the hint of autumn in the air – well you can if you are up every morning at 5:30 a.m. Really, you Americans just don’t get it. In Europe, you will find that most jobs start at 9 o’clock. You get a paid lunch hour, and then...

Hello again everyone. Another week draws to a close, and I am so ashamed to tell you that I have not lost a single ounce since my last post….I could make many excuses, and they would be good excuses, but the truth is I have maintained this illustrious weight due...

It is amazing to think that we have already cruised through half of August. Especially as I keep finding Christmas ornaments that I still haven’t put away. Oh well, save some time this year I suppose. Ladies, you might have noticed a little ‘ticker tape’ deal on the...
