Update below. Just completed 22 hours without internet. It was h-e-double hockey sticks. (h=e=l=l). Terrible storms and no way to check on progress of the tornados. Missed the big political speeches, you know which ones. Very humid today and pouring r
I'm blaming the rain. We have begun receiving the outer bands of rains and storms from the Louisiana storm. When it pours here, I jump in my car and go shop Dollar General because "nobody" goes shopping in a drenching rain, so it's me and the two wo
Had a lovely little note today from my medical insurer encouraging me to keep up with medical appointments and annual checkup and they enclosed a totally useless mask - stretch, poly, with great big holes in the fabric. It's medical malpractice. A grea
Lots of stuff to buy here, but scroll way down the page for 3 free color wheel templates/charts to download and print. Yay!
Wouldn't it be cute to make a bedtime book pillow with the current Caterpillar alphabet spelling out "Bookworm"? I don't have anybody that age, but maybe you do!
Remember the old Sunday night show United of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? Well, my woodsy home is starting to feel that way - again. I just stepped into a semi-dark kitchen to make myself a late sandwich for supper and a frog jumped across my line of vision.

Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes. It was the weirdest birthday ever. I was totally alone except for dropping by to feed my grandcat. I had three singing happy birthday calls and the last one was a jazz/gospel version by a lady from the embroider
UPDATED: Celebration has a new meaning today. My friends who are both fighting COVID in the hospital celebrated their 65th anniversary. They let her go to his room and had their lunch together, with chocolate cake, balloons, flowers, and other decorati
SECOND UPDATE. When everyone says stay safe, here's what that means. Don't speed or make dangerous driving decisions. Stay off ladders. And walk carefully. My dear church friend "just tripped" and broke her leg. They set her leg and sent her hom
Sweet memories over lunch today. Had a clean up the fridge lunch of leftovers that turned out surprisingly good in combination: mug of hot tomato soup, BBQ pork, and my Mom's macaroni salad with green olives. Daddy didn't like leftovers. He always sa
Happy Memorial Day. I hope you have military service people to remember, but if not, today I am remembering one particular soldier, our junior high coach, Clebe McClary. He served in Vietnam and lost an arm and an eye. He returned home and coached and
NOT a freebie, but Julia's Needle Design has an awesome Words and Sayings special. Be ready - took me over an hour to download so many files. Have fun.
