Young Love


Daniel Piatnitsky, 19, of Willow Springs and Kristina Nadtochayuv, 22, of Rogersville laugh while discussing their plans for the evening at Sequiota Park on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. “This is my first Valentine’s Day that I don’t get to complain that I’m alone,” Piatnitsky said. The pair have been dating for about six months and had just exchanged gifts--Reese’s Pieces because it’s her favorite and homemade fortune cookies with Hershey’s Kisses. Last year they happened to spend the holiday together as friends at Cold Stone Creamery, where they shook on a deal to stuff their faces with ice cream on every lonely Valentine’s Day. Now that they’re together, the deal is off. “But we’ll probably still have ice cream,” Nadtochayuv said.

A snow day, yesterday.


Today's front page: Abby Hrdlicka shields her face from the snow on her way to MSU's Meyer Library on Monday, February 13, 2012. "Snow boots would have been a good idea," she said. "I usually end up wearing the worst possible thing in the snow."

child in child's pose

Presley Wood, 2, momentarily collapses under a table at her home in Moore, OK. I had a lovely weekend visit with the family in OKC and got tons of great photos of the kids I love. Facebook album and perhaps another post soon to follow.

January weather

It was really cold a couple of weeks ago: Mark Propst shovels the sidewalks at First and Calvary Presbyterian Church in preparation for a funeral on Thursday, January 12, 2012.


But most of the month has been like this:Unseasonably warm weather brought Rhonda Brashers, left, and Kristie Reynolds out to walk their dogs, Hailey, left, and Jolie, at Nathanael Greene Park on Thursday, January 5, 2012. "It's a beautiful day in January and the dogs were looking in a way that said, please take us out," said Reynolds. "You can't pass this up in January."
