All the Christmas decorations are put up for another year. The house is back to normal once again.  Today we ate a hearty meal of pork roast, cabbage and black eyed peas (blecht!). December always rushes in, on the heels of Thanksgiving, so full of anticipation and excitement as the promise of family time approaches [...]

I wish each of you a very blessed celebration of the birth of Christ! Merry merry Christmas friends!

I’ve been knitting, sewing, and reading a LOT lately…. and must confess that I have not read a single blog in weeks. (And you know I haven’t been writing on one either! ha) This time of year, I’ve got so much to do – I’m working on various projects for Christmas gifts and birthday presents. [...]

She and I haven’t always seen eye to eye on various issues, as some of you may recall from years past….. so you’ll know how much I appreciate these words from her. (Some of the conversation is overlapped [...]

So right at the moment, I’m in a plane (aisle seat) en route to Austin TX to visit with my friend Shannon for the weekend. I’m in the third row from the front – which means its a long trek thru the plane to the itsy bitsy stinky winky bathroom. This I know because I [...]
