WE INTERUPT THE RED SMOOTHIE CARDIGAN TO BRING YOU AN IMPORTANT BREAK FROM BOREDOM……..
Yes, it’s true. I spent a good portion of yesterday sitting with ice on my back and knitting on things other than the red cardie. Don’t get me wrong, I do love it still, but it is so slow going I really [...]
Yesterday turned out nothing like I had thought, but it was all good. I had just settled myself into the tub with my book in progress for a nice long soak when my friend Eva called me. She runs her own business, and has- since he was born- taken Stephen along with her. Well, you [...]
It’s nearly 70 degrees here this morning, (at 9 a.m. and according to my spiffy little digital thermometer) I can’t believe it…..oh wait, that’s because there’s a possibility of snow tonight and tomorrow. And you thought spring was finally reaching us here on the Front Range. Not so, my cyber friends. We get most of [...]
I could go on and on and on this morning about a plethora of topics, but fear of going to far will keep me from going to far (how’s that for elegant speech). Top on my list of complaints this morning is the mess that is our American tax system. I got started on the [...]
First of all, heartfelt thanks to each of you who stopped by to wish me happy birthday. It was such a treat to hear from so many of you, and very much appreciated.
By Friday evening I had been inundated with flowers and good wishes. The first offering looked like this ………..
……and I opened it to [...]
Today, son number one turns 23. It doesn’t seem like that long ago that I was phoning home from Japan to tell my Mom that she had a new grandson. It doesn’t seem like 20 years since storytime at the library, preschool co-op and trips to the zoo. It doesn’t seem like18 years ago that [...]
Those of you who know me and know that I am currently sans employment, are laughing hysterically right now, wondering how in the name of all things woolly I can possibly have any more me time, (stay with me here). As one who lurks around cyberspace on a daily basis (did I mention I’m not [...]
Sunshine has returned to the Front Range, along with a slight breeze. It’s too chilly to say that spring is again in the air…..it is after all still March and the month of the greatest snowfall, historically. We’ve seen snow on Easter, and several years ago got over a foot in the late part of [...]
Let’s start today with New Word Wednesday
Today’s word is obnubilate which is a verb that means to becloud, obscure. Again, here is what my little calendar says: The meaning of obnubilate becomes clearer when you know that its ancestors are the Latin terms ob-(meaning “in the way”) and nubes (“cloud”). They go on [...]
This morning I did something I’ve been putting off for about 4 years. I went to the dentist.
Now, I don’t mind the dentist, really I don’t. I’ve had enough dental work done in my 40 plus years that it doesn’t spawn fear in me, more a feeling of annoyance. Before we moved to Washington for [...]
