Such Confidence!!!

Chris and I headed to G's for our Saturday morning coffee tryst. (I just looked up tryst, though we're not meeting secretly isn't it okay to consider ones husband ones lover?) I digress. I LOVE to talk to strangers, anywhere I am. By G's door sat a woman with a cute top on and I told her so. She said, "I KNOW!!!" What??? Did she really say that??? I was so caught off guard it wasn't until we were inside that it fully hit Chris and me and we burst out laughing. I just loved the nerve that she had and confidence in knowing her top is cute. Why not own it? I don't know you girl-in-the-cute-top but you rock. You made my morning and gave me the best laugh for the day!!!

Caution...This May Affect Your Conscience...or Not

I was listening to a program on NPR the other day in which they were discussing collection of taxes on purchases. They were specifically discussing purchases from companies like Amazon who do not collect taxes in the majority of states because they do not have a physical presence. Here it is: if I order something from Amazon or such company it is my responsibility to figure the taxes and put that on my year end tax forms. I'm a rule person and that just caused all kinds of craziness in my conscience. Chris is not a rule person. He just shook his head and, with a raised voice, said how ridiculous that is. So, what are you going to do with this? Just curious.

Sunset Over the Arkansas River

I met some young women for a picnic dinner at a local park last night. As we were leaving this was the beautiful sunset we were blessed to see.

Beauty Outside My Window

My sister, Lori, planted this Gerbera daisy for me when she was visiting in April. Lori, you have quite the green thumb. These daisies are incredible and I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing them. Great job!!! Now, when are you coming to help me with my grass?
