Work, work, work…and a knitting break

Huge thunderstorm tonight. Sky was a strange pink between the trees and the lightning. Rained hard with blowing wind. I love storms. It tailed off again, then back, then gone again. We got in our copy of True Blood and watched the first four episodes. Quite good but I’ll do more on that later when […]

Where does the weekend go when it’s not here…

This is our weekend. Last night was WSFA’s 3rd Friday Meeting in DC. It takes us slightly under two hours to get there and another to get back. So, we were home by about 2:30 a.m. Of course, we slept late. Up late. Made breakfast. Finally got the Banana Pecan Muffins made. Then down to […]

Pins and needles….

Today’s post is a bit of whining and complaining about pain — feel free to skip. Not really pins, but needles. Today, I saw my acupuncturist–she’s great. I always feel so much better after a treatment. This past month has been pretty much a haze of pain. Changing weather causing migraines. A major fibromyalgia flareup. […]

Gravel — a dirt road’s best friend…

We live up a dirt road. It’s not bad, it’s hard packed and not too filled with dips and holes. However, the driveway off the dirt road to the house is another matter all together. Part of it is okay but other sections look and act great during sunny and cold — rain is another […]

June Coffee Cup and Knitting Projects…

This month’s cup has the simple clean lines that I like. I bought this on super sale in Home Goods but I almost think it was one of the cups that Starbucks had for sale last winter. It just seemed that since June, for many people, is summertime, it might be nice to have a […]

Memorial Day — Remembrance and Family Time

My father was in the Army during WWII. My grandfather was in the Navy. One of my uncles was in the Marines and I think the other was in the Army but he didn’t live in the same state and I hardly know him, so I’m not sure. When I lived in Mexico, Maine we’d […]

At last, the May Coffee Cup…and miscellaneous notes

It’s been a heck of a month. It seems like all month, I’ve been running as fast as I can just to stay in place. There’s been so much going on. So, finally, here is the May Coffee Cup. It’s bright and cheery and I’ve been enjoying it all month. It’s just the right size […]

Just a short note

Today was one of those days eaten up with little things but satisfying in its own way. I slept late — that great, I slept. I actually closed my eyes and slept through the night. After this latest bout of insomnia that is so wonderful. Unfortunately, Hyperion was up at 5am with a call from […]
