I’m a bit excited to have some takers on sweater knitting. I (as some of you may know) am not a task master. To me? Knitting is knitting. If you have 3 sweaters started (I’m looking at you, Norma) finish them and call it a success. Baby sweaters? Sure. Why not! They ARE sweaters! Vests? [...]

Want to knit?
Well, look at me, all speechless. Who knew?
I am coming to the end of the knitting on the Town and Country. Even though I stood here on my soapbox and proclaimed that I would set the sweater aside and knit the mittens for my cold hands, I did not do any such thing. I have [...]

I am knee deep in laundry: good thing I don’t have to drag it down the river and beat it on a rock!
Even though I am not blogging everyday in reality, my mind is still blogging every day. I take pictures, write the posts in my mind, plan them out. And you did not comment! Scheez.
So, I have pictures to show you on this sunny Sunday. It’s odd to have sunshine on a Sunday as [...]

stuff on a Tuesday
So, overall I love using WordPress. I think I’ll stay here. It seems to have less glitches than my other blog. And you probably know by now that I am an HTML dunce so using the other blog is challenging for me. When things go wrong all I can do is stand on the side [...]

My thoughts on racism and a bit of kitty news at the end.
Warning: This post contains strong, offensive language.
Today, On Martin Luther King Junior’s life celebration day, I have been thinking a lot about race. Specifically racists. You see, I grew up with horribly racist parents. To me, racism looks a lot like hatred. And it looks ugly. All of my life I have been arguing with [...]

If it’s Sunday it must be snowing
Every Sunday it seems we get a snowstorm. Not that I am complaining. It’s the perfect day to be confined to the house with the cold blowing the snow around. Hibernation Sunday. Works for me!
I will be taking your great advice and calling the vet (even though they just had a check up last week) [...]

A wee post
It’s obvious to me that the people who are saying that the retail numbers are down did not try to find a parking spot at the mall today. Of course, just because the lot was full to the brim does not mean that people opened their wallets. But people are not staying home, that’s for [...]

My hands are cold, my cats are bold
You know that I have a thing about that Town and Country sweater. I have (pretty much) been faithful to that knitting since trying to delude myself into thinking that I could get it done for the November sweater knitting Month. Ha. That did not happen. Or for December. I was pretty determined to have [...]

Bring on the cold! I have soup leftovers!
Dinner time is also Time for Peace! That’s a good thing. At least they don’t fight over the food. Which is odd because Mitchell (right) always eats half and leaves (presumably leaving some for later) and Myron (left) finishes his, lapping the plate clean and then proceeds to eat the rest of Mitchell’s. To me? [...]

A blogger without a blog is a sad thing and how I am becoming a hypochondriac. And soup. It’s always about the soup whether stated or not.
Helllloooo, dahlings! I have missed each and every one of you. Honestly, if I do not blog and get a comment or two I will expire! I will! It’s been dreadfully lonely without you! And on the other hand, I did enjoy the break. Time flies though, huh?
So, what’s been going on in my world?
The [...]
