Beautiful St. Patrick’s Day Cookies
I took Sullivan and Bridgette to Ingrid’s Bakery last night for St. Patrick’s Day cookies, cream cheese hamantaschens and Turkish macaroons. I’ve been going to Ingrid’s since I was 19.

I loved the Native American on the Harley Davidson with his Nam 66 and Vietnam 67 patches. Nearly 12 percent of Oklahoma’s population is Irish. More than 11 percent are Native American, primarily […]
