Life of a Renaissance Gal
Watching… Evil. I wasn’t planning to watch this show until I read an article with critic’s lists of the best of the new season and this show was on several lists. They all said that it wasn’t a show they wanted to watch before bed so I took that warning with the first episode which…
Watching… Mixed-ish. I’m not a regular Black-ish watcher but I have been enjoying this spin-off. I love that it’s set at the same time I was growing up and that it has a different spin than most comedies. Even if you don’t watch Black-ish, I recommend giving this one a try. Bonus, you get to…
Watching… The Durrells in Corfu. This show checks several boxes for me: it’s set in an exotic location, is British, and is generally a fun light-hearted show. I was thrilled to discover that the entire fourth season is available on PBS Passport so I can binge watch it before it finishes airing on tv. I’m…
I did not intend to take off last week. I’ve been stressed trying to finish my kitchen and prepare for the 80th birthday party I’m hosting on Saturday. I hope the kitchen is finished by then!

Early 1900s Lumberjacks via History in Pictures Do you have big weekend plans? I’m in full-on panic mode with my kitchen re-decorating. I’m hosting a party at my house in two weeks and still have so much to do! This makes me so sad. I need to sit down and file my Yahoo and Equifax…

I just need to get into it enough that I’ll choose it over Downton. Watching… Downton Abbey. In preparation for the…
Theodore Roosevelt, a Vice-Presidential candidate at the time, a road in a parade down Main Street in 1900 via This has been a long exhausting week. I’m looking forward to some downtime this weekend. After consuming a lot of Haagen Dazs this week, I needed to see this. I had no idea! I need to…
Watching… Luther. I was so excited when I learned they were bringing Luther back for a surprise season. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as well as I’d hoped. I think it may have been better left alone. But it also possible that it’s been so long since I saw the first four seasons, that…
My body (and brain) tend to shut down when it gets too hot and this August was hot – especially for the three days without electricity. I was pretty lazy this month and this photo displays my yard neglect. I was surprised to see that in addition to the weeds, I also captured a rainbow…
I was a bit disappointed that this Degas sculpture was the only Degas dancer in the Van Gogh, Monet, Degas Exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, but it was an excellent adventure all the same.
