This was a dream from last week or so, but it was pretty entertaining. The boys and I were in a large room, waiting. Lots of people drifted in until, eventually, Christopher came in with a girl he introduced us to. It turns out to have been the rehearsal for Chris’s wedding, though none of […]
Great dream of the morning: I was walking out around Golden Valley, where there were lots of hills and rocky cliffs, and up to me walks a cheerful, blue-gray, but brown-eyed, Blue Heeler puppy about four months old. She (despite the masculine evidence on her underside) insisted on following me wherever I went, and […]
I don’t make buckets of money, and whatever I do make seems to be snarfed up by the Disaster of the Day, which in the past has ranged from $2000 car repairs to $1200 new crowns to vet bills to medical bills to … oh, yeah, can’t forget the broken water heater and the floor […]
After fighting with this thing for several hours, I’ve decided I once again bit off more than I can chew. I misread the instructions for the Saxon braid (to be fair, they were pretty unclear with regard to the first and last rows, which turned out not to be the first and last, but only […]
Heaven knows if these images will show up, but here’s to the ol’ try. Leaves on the left are from Odd Unidentified Plant (OUP) that likes to grow all over the place. I’ve looked all through my Plants of the Pacific Northwest and can’t find it; I’m suspicious it might be a bitter cress, or […]

Was talking to Mom last night and she grumbled slightly that the serious narcotics she’s taking, and has been for lo, this half-decade […]
It ain’t gorgeous, but it is finished. I planned this to have one broad band across the shoulder and two vertical stripes down the center of front and back. (The photos don’t show it too well, though; I should maybe have taken these with the 3 MP camera rather than the Canon D20 and lost […]
No, not I, but my mom. Yesterday. I’m not sure whether she was pleased or annoyed when I reminded her that this meant she had completed 89 years and was now starting on her 90th.
She’s been wanting to pass on for a good ten years, thanks largely to severe and unremitting pain that nothing, not […]
I think it’s my electromagnetic field, but whatever it is, it affects everything technological that I do. Things don’t work, break down, choke up, get gummy–and all just because I’m within three feet of them. My #2 son the electronics engineer says, “Mom, I don’t know how you do it, but you have more weird […]
