Back to normal, sorta

Think back with me to the days before answering machines, before pagers, before cell phones, before the internet. We were fine; if someone phoned and we were not there, they tried again later. We sent letters or post cards. Why is it, then, that when we forget our cell phone at home we either turn [...]

not takin’ the bait

Thanks to those of you who jumped in to help Brett raise money for MS. He and Cora had a terrific ride, raised a tidy sum of money and are looking forward to next years ride. As promised, I have drawn a name from those who donated AND left comments, and Carole will now get [...]

TGIF

I’m sorry, really I am.
Since I’ve been reading blogs and leaving comments, I’ve never quite understood the word verification thing. In fact, it annoys me; not to the point that I refuse to leave a comment, but enough that I decided not to use that feature on my blog.
I’ve changed my mind. Every once in [...]

Stalling

This morning has been one of real randomness—with only a little bit being accomplished. It’s been quiet, so I finally got through the new issues of Spin-Off and Creative Knitting (the latter reinforcing the decision to cancel my subscription—what’s up with all the patterns for bulky yarns and huge needles???)
While lounging on the sofa with [...]

Welcome Home

This, is son number two, Alex. Several months ago he said he was ready to move back to Colorado, and began to make plans. Last night, after leaving Seattle around 3 on Sunday, Alex walked through the front door, and this morning he’s snoozing away, catching up, no doubt. Why he chose to sleep on [...]

All Tangled Up

I’m having a wee bit of trouble getting to the blog today—-do tune in later, I have news

Wish I was There

It’s Favorite Foto Friday!

May 2005……want to go back…..’nuff said.

I’ve been thinking a lot in recent days about my life, partly due to watching The Mermaid Chair the other day. When I “read” the book (audible.com) it really struck a chord with me, not that I am anxious to run off and have an affair [...]

Wheels a spinnin’

I just added a wee post to the Summer Spinning Blog (link in sidebar).
Last night I couldn’t sleep—don’t know if it’s the upcoming flurry of activity around here, residual from a couple movies I’ve watched in the last few days, or hormones, but rather than lying in bed full of frustration, I got up and [...]

Ignorant no longer….

Just a quick note. I wanted to let you all know that Brett and Cora completed the 150 mile Bike Tour (for MS) in fine form. Brett said it was a beautiful ride, harder the first day than the second and up to this point they have earned $500 and $350, respectively. Brett also said [...]

Melancholy Monday

I took the day off yesterday not because I didn’t have anything to say—there was plenty to report after a fun knit meet on Saturday with the gals. Linda’s further adventures with the dragonfly socks had us all in hysterics for a good while.

I’ll leave the play by play commentary to Linda—stop by [...]
