O.M.G.

Okay. That was fun. Way fun. Lots of fun. Did I say it was fun?
Kristie and I had such a marvelous time at TNNA that I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had. We talked to tons of fabulous people such as Kaffe Fassett, Cookie A., Kaffe Fassett, Kristin Nicholas, […]

Road trip!

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

It seems like years since I posted in my blog. But you see, we were out of town all last week. Just got back yesterday afternoon. We were so exhausted from driving more than a thousand miles in two days (actually 1,086 miles/1,749 kilometers), that we were in bed and asleep before 9 pm.
I […]

Yarn Harlot came to L.A.!

Monday, September 17, 2007

I drove over to Kristie’s house on Saturday morning. I was so excited about seeing the Yarn Harlot that day that I completely forgot to take my new yarn and my finished shawl for her to see. What a dunce. I did remember to get her blocking wires back to her. That’s something, anyway. I […]

South seas blues

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Oh. My. Goodness. I noted an interest in participating in a tea swap over on Ravelry early in the summer. Didn’t hear anything about it for quite a while, then completely forgot it until I got an email message from Christina. Seems we’d been paired a month before, and she hadn’t realized it, either. Goodness. […]

The races

Monday, August 6, 2007

Watching the ponies
Our good friend Mikki is a member of Sons of Italy, and as such, invited us to join the group for an evening at the races at the Los Alamitos Race Course. For a reasonable fee, we got preferred parking, entrance into the Vessels Club, and a tasty dinner. In addition to Mikki, […]

I’m back!

Wednesday, August 1, 2007

I’m sure you’ve noticed by the distinct lack of posts of late that I’ve been out of town. Yup. Once every ten years Dave and I go up to Ogden, Utah to celebrate the fact that he graduated high school and to see old friends. Last weekend was the celebration of having graduated 30 years […]

Upcoming…

Ouch
There’s this molar. The one all the way in the back, lower left. It’s been a little finicky for a while. You know. A little sensitive to heat and cold. Some days more than others. I knew that I’d have to get it taken care of before too long, but as such things go, I […]

Last week…

Monday, November 20, 2006

… we were on vacation! Woohoo! It was loverly being away. Dave and I talked about it before we left—except for two funerals (me), and one funeral and one business trip (him), this was the first time in a year that we’d gotten away. At all. Yes, it was way too short. But it was […]

There’s snow in them thar hills

Monday, March 13, 2006

Hm. That doesn’t sound quite right somehow… Oh well.

There is snow up there, though. See? The first photo was our first glimpse early Sunday morning after a very cold Saturday here in the southland. It actually hailed in a number of places, including on Dave when he was out running errands in Orange, and […]

Scenery

Tuesday, March 7, 2006

Most people I know who drive to and from the San Francisco Bay Area from here (Orange County and Los Angeles) go up Interstate 5 (”the 5″ to those of us down here), and hate it. Even my wonderful hubby thinks it’s totally boring. I don’t. I love it. I love the fields of crops, […]
