Rural Route One

Last night's sky was like cotton candy. Snow in November & Veteran's Day remembrance on the Quad. (at Columbia, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqOT9sEnzDBhwdZ0HyHGfNWeooT2X2tWFc6wCw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=116nreuryqrsq

Lazy Saturday, while the boys sleep. I've got my little pink teapot, hazelnut coffee in the French press, & my "hot wife" Christmas mug from Rich ready to go. A few more minutes and I'm off to flexibility class at CSC. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnd3SbNn0EpNtjgRs77d5jVThsndDCSXKGk2n80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qa7kw0047iv4

Flowers from today's Columbia chamber of commerce membership meeting adorn my desk, along with my new copy of Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser. The Pulitzer Prize winning author will be our speaker at next month's annual meeting! Pick up your copy at our gift shop. You can register online at Shsmo.org/thecenter/lecture to see Fraser speak.

Spent my mother's day in my happy place, Hurley, Mo with my husband, son, bff and her dau. (at Hurley, Missouri)

Yesterday's trip to Independence. Highly recommend Vivilore for lunch. Explore the vintage, artsy west side! (at Independence, Missouri)

My haul from yesterday at OneCanoeTwo in Fulton. Fun store! I am particularly excited about the cocoiro pen, and trying out different pen tips/inks. Plus, it's my signature color. #onecanoetwo (at Fulton, Missouri)

4 more days... (at Surprise Stadium)

Antique Mallin' today. I'm a sucker for retro scarves. Vintage Italian scarf of Capri is my favorite. (at Columbia, Missouri)

I loved this water scene in my Nat Geo traveler magazine, so I'm trying my hand at painting. I've decided I'm not very good at painting water refraction, or the dots on a starfish... at least not with watercolor. I'm still moderately pleased with my rendition.

My February bullet journal experimenting with some watercolors and washi tape. I went with my birthstone, amethyst as a theme.

Catching up on my Instagram posts. Here is my December Bullet journal cover page. #bujo #create

Not particularly happy with how January turned out. Tombow dual brush markers still aren't watercolors. #bujo #create #januarycover #tombow

One of my favorites.... Vegas 5 yrs ago with my Double Date of Elvii. (at Las Vegas, Nevada)

November bullet journal design

Homemade noodles in flour sack towels, broth is boiling... great grandma's noodles on the stove. Tradition is alive. #thanksgiving #roundtwo #scratchcooking

One of my favorite pics of Reece. (at Daniel Boone Ball Fields)

Not only was she Jesus' momma, but in the 70s, Mary was also a member of the Memphis Mafia. Total badass. #watchingoverme #TCB #holdmyrosary
