Introduction

I’ve lived in the Phoenix metropolitan area for 20+ years so technically I am an Arizonan, but deep inside I know where home is. I’m a true Okie from Muskogee and until I'm able to make the pilgrimage back to Green Country, Arizona is my temporary home and a good one I might add. This really is a great place to live with loads of sunshine which makes me smile even in the dead of winter. But even with all of this awesomeness, I find myself longing for family, friends, expansive pastures, green foliage and even the good old Midwest rainstorms from time to time.

I am the mother of 3, experimental gardener, aspiring farm girl, lead singer in a band and have been a pharmacist for the past 20 years.  In September 2013 I stopped working to stay home with our baby boy who was born requiring emergency surgeries.  I am blessed to be able to be with baby Wyatt and have made it a goal of mine to live a much simpler Oklahoma inspired lifestyle and enjoy every second of this remarkable life. 

This blog is an attempt to connect AZ and OK with family, friends old and new-- and to share a little of our OK homesick desert life with everyone.
