I Never Knew an Autoharp Could be So Sexy!
Just one more weekend left at the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. It was a good weekend.

Muskogee, OK Hotels
Nine years Andrew and I have been on the road staying at hotels across the U.S.. We found the worst hotel yet. It’s the Azalea Inn in Muskogee, Oklahoma. DON’T stay here.

How I Dream of Flying
Last night, I dreamed of flying. It is a dream that has been recurring for several months now.. I don’t remember most of the details. However, I do remember it was a lot like scuba diving. I had the ability to levitate and fly by regulating my breathing. And last night, I was teaching someone […]
