Words to Ponder

All righty people, while I'm busy thinking of the order of importance of our community's needs. I know I put the big ones, ice cream and pie right on up there, here are a few more words to think on. Don't you for one second think that our community isn't already first rate because it is, but aspiration is a great thing. We are great as individuals but we are amazing as community! We can be a force to be reckoned with.

To Remember Me By

Photos are how we remember. It has been since the process was invented. And nowadays we almost always have our phones in hand ready to grab a shot. Some precious, some informational and some too much informational. But wouldn't an old time photographer using an old time process taking contemporary photos be a perfect fit in our old town. Checkout Lumiere Tintypes to find out what I'm talking about

It's August, it's hot, it's my birthday and I deserve one wish...


... I know that this whole blog is one big wish and the pie shop was one specific wish, but what's a pie shop without an ice cream shop? Pie is great, but ala mode is greater. If you read this story about this company you can't help but agree that Guthrie needs Salt and Straw.  The people are amazing, their story is interesting and though I haven't had the chance to try their product, I'll take odds that I'll love it. It's always hard to move those who have settled in the cool misty northwest, out and convince them that Oklahoma is where they oughta be. (isn't that a song?) But if they won't move, there must surely be an enterprising and ice cream loving Okie ready to take the plunge into the heart of historic old Guthrie and make this happen. A pie shop and and ice cream shop side by side, it could happen and that my friend is serendipity.
