I’m off my game. I’ve been away from blogging for too long. I sat down to write up a great post about our first actual, real vacation in years and years, and… nothing. Nada. El zippo.
So, where to start? How about this? We’ll start with a very basic geography lesson. When people say they […]
While I was visiting, Mom showed me some old pictures, all kept together in a frame in a sort of montage, that had belonged to her sister.
There are a couple of pictures of my aunt and uncle, one of my cousin when he was a boy, one of her favorite minister (he looks like […]
I’m back from Mom’s house. Her eye is doing very, very well. She nursed me through the worst of my cold. Then caught it. Poor Mom. At least the early part of her eye’s healing was done with before she came down with it.
I took some pictures while I was there, pictures of stuff […]
I’ve been absent from my blog lately.
Have you noticed?
I’m currently about 400 miles from home, in the house where I grew up. Mom had cataract surgery on Monday, and I came up to take care of her. The surgery went extremely well. The surgeon is pleased. All that has gone as fine as can […]
I worked almost exclusively on the green Shibui socks all weekend. I don’t have a picture for you at this moment, as it’s nearly midnight, and not nearly light enough for photography. I’ll get one to you soon, I promise.
Remember the other day when I ripped out the first attempt and restarted on larger […]
The knitting group I go to on Mondays decided to have a party this week. Anne graciously opened her house to us, and we descended upon her en masse with loads of yummy food, delectable wines and spirits, and knitting gifts. After we ate and settled in we did a gift exchange. Most of us […]
Yesterday was the single best day I’ve had in… ages. Start to finish, it was a marvelous day. Thank you one and all for your birthday wishes! They mean the world to me.
Lunch with the Monday night crowd was tons of fun. And yummy! We went to El Cholo in La Habra. The food […]
I have tons of stuff to do today before I need to leave to have lunch with the Knit Knight crowd. I am so looking forward to this. I haven’t seen anyone other than my dear husband on my birthday in years. Years! Not that hanging out with my guy is bad, in fact it’s […]
Site move
You may have noticed the complete absence of my blog and/or pattern shop over the last few days. It’s because we moved to a new server, and as the way of such things, our new location takes a bit to trickle through the Internet at large. My other pages are moving today, well, the […]
It feels like eons since I’ve posted, so let’s catch up a little bit…
For a day or so before Dave and I left for Las Vegas on the 16th, there were huge fires raging in the area. We could only see the smoke from one of them from here, as it obscured all else. This […]
