How many cross stitch books do you own and how often do you use them?
Before I even start to count them up, let me just say that I have many, many more knitting books these days that I do stitching books. Many more. But I have been known to collect stitching books, too.
Let’s see… Over […]
Yup. You’d think it’d be a simple thing. But alas. It seems that it’s going to be a major pita. I want a frame for this picture of Dad and me.
The rub is that the photo’s 42 years old, and so the picture size is odd. It’s only 3.5 x 3.5 inches. And no, […]
On Sunday afternoon Dave and I went to the pub for a couple pints (yum). On the way home we were winding our way through a hilly neighborhood near ours, and I saw a flash of pink by the side of the road. Dave said, “It’s the Pink Panther! Go back!” The Pink Panther? Huh? […]
I had my six week checkup with my doctor last week, the day after Dave and I got home. In spite of everything that’s been happening, she is very pleased with my healing progress. And wants me to start exercising. Exer-who? Yes. Ugly word that. I’m now to walk for thirty minutes each day, a […]
Before my mother was born, her parents and her older sister lived in the Philippines for a number of years. When Grandma returned home to the States, she brought with
her many beautiful things. A few of which are currently in my possession, three more now than there were a few weeks ago. I am now […]
In addition to my blue-eyed dad, whom I miss very much, and my blue-eyed hubby, who is currently downstairs in his home office, there has always been a lot of blue in my life. Here is some of it. There are more photos to take on another day. These I took on June 1, hoping […]

On Friday, June 2, Mom called to let me know that Dad had […]
I thought it was about time that I cleared out my list of books read so far this year. The list is getting rather long, and it takes quite a while for it to scroll through now. Well, it did. I’ve moved the list to this post in order to archive it. The most recently […]
You are all so wonderful. Thank you so much for your kind notes.
My father passed away yesterday morning, Monday, June 5, 2006. His breathing slowed until it simply stopped. His end was peaceful and pain free. My mom was with him. My plane was just landing, so I missed him. But, I did get […]
Whenever life pulls at me, I think of this little volume of prose I was given back in 1975. I had a friend, Nancy, in high school, who was sick and I didn’t know it, terribly ill. She died on December 19, 1974. After Christmas that year I rode my bike over to her house […]
