Geek Alert

-
OK, I'll admit to being a geek sometimes.
This summer I decided that since we
have so many visitors to our lovely city
that I would see if I could spot
all 50 states' license plates.
We are a little over 2 months into the summer and I have
spotted all but 4 states.

I keep a sheet like this in each of our cars so I can highlight the states when I see them.
As you can imagine, I am driving everyone who rides
with me crazy saying things like
"Speed up so I can see what state that is!"
But they are being good sports about it
and helping me out.

I have even seen a Canadian province--Ontario.

There are 4 states that I haven't seen yet.
If you haven't already looked at the photos below,
try to guess what they are before you peek.

Rhode Island is understandable.
I would have thought South Dakota would
be easy, but maybe they have such a small
population that there are not that many cars.

The other two I don't have are Connecticut and Delaware.
Those Northeasterners must fly to Colorado.

Can you believe I have Hawaii and Alaska?
I'm not going to give up.
I'll keep these lists in my car until
I see those last 4 states or until
the lists disintegrate, whichever comes first.

How fun! One of Amy's friends and her mom are doing that too. They were having a hard time spotting plates from the western states--Wyoming, Utah, etc. I guess people in those states don't have much reason to come to Oklahoma.

That's odd about South Dakota. There are a lot of cars there and it's not so far fom you.~Donna P.

I agree that this is a fun undertaking! While we were in Colorado in July, I think I saw as many Texas plates as Colorado! I guess everyone else in Texas had the same idea we did--to get out of the blazing summer heat.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
