  • The New Chandelier

    We found this in Dallas and we fell in love with it. It’s a little different than what I had originally picked, but we love it. The really fun part was watching Jim put it up. Mcgyver would have been proud.

  • Sewing Fever

    While Jim and I were shopping in Dallas last weekend, I spotted a sewing store and went in just to look around. A little bit later I walked out with the cutest sewing machine. The machine I’ve been sewing on is now 25 years old. It is a Kenmore and has been a good one,…

  • 28 Years?

    It doesn’t seem possible; Jim and I will celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. How thankful I am for such a wonderful husband. He loves and serves the Lord, he is the neatest Dad, he loves his kids and would do anything for them, what a fun Papa he is, he loves those grandbabies, and the…

  • The Challenge

  • Patti’s Guest Room

    I have more to do on these rooms as well. It’s hard for me to find everything that will work all at once. Our shopping is sort of slim in our area. 🙂

  • Nate’s Guest Room

    I’m still working on our two guest rooms and baths. I will be on the search for needed items to complete the rooms on our next trip to Dallas and Oklahoma City.

  • Elegant Chic

    I’ve been trying to come up with a name for my decorating style. “Elegant Chic” That’s it. Which means, I like elegance and I like chic along with everything else. 🙂

  • Security Alarms…

    As we were driving to our home in Oklahoma, we got a call from the security company that a burglary was in the process and our alarm was going off. Our son-in-law, Rodrick, met the police at the house and sure enough, someone kicked the door in and ran straight upstairs. All this person wanted…

  • Vacation Time!

    I’m at our home in Oklahoma visiting our kids, playing with grandbabies and hopefully getting some writing done. Oklahoma is beautiful. It has been raining most everyday. I love rain, so it doesn’t bother me. Yesterday when I was heading home from some shopping I was driving very slow through a huge puddle of red…
