I have always loved Mid Century Modern (MCM) and Sauder Furniture, most likely because I was surrounded by it as a child. When my daughter was born, she picked up my love as well. When she was in college, we lived in a small town of about 18,000 and the yard sales were fantastic! We…
Garage Sale
Such an Amazing Thing!
I know that I usually post a canning recipe on Tuesday and a recipe on Thursday, but this is the week that I conduct the big annual conference for Personal Care Assistants in our state. Even though I had to change the agenda about eight times in order for her to be there, the Governor…
Repurposing Junk
Living in a place like Oklahoma, you can imagine that we have lots of rusted farm implements and other farming equipment lying in fields and on the side of the road. Sometimes I feel the challenge to be imaginative enough to do something constructive with that junk as that is a retro-art. I can usually…
Repurposing and Basketball
As I write this my alma mater is in the last 2 minutes of the game to get into the final four. When you live in a college town that is not your undergraduate alma mater AND you live with people who ONLY went to the local university it can be tough to take all…

A Mother Daughter Project: Ebook
My daughter is having a baby. Yep, on April 19th my grandson will be born. April 19th is the anniversary of the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma so the date has not been a day of celebration here, but it will be now! Because she was born when I was a teenager, we sort of…
Tale of an eBook
I love the new term “indie author” and I think I may become one. Two years ago, I wrote a book about canning, gardening and a few recipes that I have gathered over the years. I tried so hard to get an agent to no avail. That’s not really a bad thing because many famous…
