Shopping trip to a real Arizona trading post.
Oh boy, do I have a fun one to share with you all this time. Out here in the old west we used to have trading posts in the middle of nowhere Arizona where natives, cowboys and pioneers would get most of their supplies. There was a lot of bartering that went on too. Sometimes…
Thriftstore treasures- A gift from Alaska to Arizona, and the power of prayer.
Look what I picked up at the second hand shop…this. I saw it laying there under a pile of mismatched items. It was the baby blue that caught my eye. This used to be a very popular color in my home as a child. It was my father’s favorite color. We had a baby…

Repost- This one holds the spot of number 4 in most popular posts of mine. I wrote this up after watching Game of Thrones one weekend, so I had Game of Thrones on the brain. Sometimes this will happen, the things we are dealing with or experiencing will show up in our art or…
One nation under attack.
“United we stand, divided we fall” Trigger warning- this is not my usual post here at Our Little Red House. Just one of my summer time rants. You know it’s good to get things off your chest now and then. I should make this a regular thing. Maybe call it Monday morning rants, what a…
A visit to a city library
Oh summer time in good old Phoenix Arizona, it sure does drag when you are stuck inside because it is just too hot to do much. Then the kids get bored and stir crazy. When my kids got bored when they were little we would head to the library down town. They loved being downtown…
