Victorian Thompson House

Last night as I sat at my desk watching the last remnants of sunshine flee the sky, I thought back on the day and its blessings. On Tuesday I visited with many dear people, met two cousins who have recently moved into Tahlequah, and talked with Beth and Jim at the Thompson House. That’s the […]
