Style!

I encountered this display while in New Orleans a couple of months ago. I had to stop and ogle it for a few minutes. It’s such a gorgeous dress, but I’m not sure I’d know how to get into it.

Fashionable Family Friday: Flare for Fashion

It’s a good thing I was a cutie back then. The sweet smile makes up for that rather wide skirt flare on the dress… looks a bit like I was getting ready for a hoe-down.
Totally OK

The OK Cafe is one of H’s absolute favorite places to eat. A grilled cheese sandwich, onion rings, and a huge coffee milkshake… he’s in heaven.

This yellow-shafted flicker surprised me today at the birdbath. A dab of red, a stripe of yellow… this bird knows how to accessorize!
