Lost in OK

It has been so dry for so long it is always wonderful when we get a nice soaking like we got over the last couple of days!

I needed to pick up some Tour de Cure save the date flyers from the American Diabetes Association for the weekend’s Oklahoma Bike Summit.

I’m taking on the daunting task of creating a paperless home office. However, there is a lot of stuff to be scanned, oh my!

I frightening fellow has hung around on my door for the last couple of days. He turned out to be remarkably patient with his impromptu photo shoot.

It as a cold and dreary day; one of those days where getting out of bed is a bit of struggle. Nothing makes a day like that into a brighter day than a spicy bowl of pho.
