Evaluating the old year in prep of the new

Well, I can’t really say I’m doing that all that well, or all that completely, but I’m trying to do something to make this new year come in feeling better than I did most of this old year. I’m starting with trying to do some cleaning around here. With all of us being sick for [...]

Recovering…from more than the weekend.

Yes. It seems we’re recovering from more than the weekend right now. We’re sick! The flu, go figure! It started with D on Friday, then it hit P, then me, and now T’s suffering from it the worst. Actually, I think D and T have been hit the worst—I didn’t let myself toss anything, though [...]

Coming off the weekend, and the holiday..

And I’m not feeling well. I’m not sure exactly what it is—whether it’s what my kids have both had (which involved a surprise for mommy two nights in a row, from the little guy), or if it’s more. Or less. My house still looks like a disaster area, I want to clean it up but [...]

Curious as a Cat – Week 5

(Went back and updated this) 1) Who do you wish could find their inner spirit to become more comfortable in their life? My mom. She seems to be the lost of everyone I know. Hard to explain exactly what I mean without you knowing her, but that’s just what I’m drawn to. Her, and my [...]

Saturday 9 Week 4

Saturday Round up

I’ll be doing the Saturday 9 later today. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me, though, before this house will be in the shape I want it to be. It seems that I start it, but it never gets too far. We’ll have to take the tree down soon, now that we can, [...]

Food 4 Thought Friday and Friday Fill-ins Week 4

Food 4 Thought Friday Breakfast Was there a special moment for you during Christmas day (or Eve) this year? I think the service and the commmunion (we could partake in communion in the Community Center) afterwards. I always like talking with people after service. And all the time I’ve gotten to spend with T. Lunch [...]

Finishing up the holiday week

Wow, Christmas is finally over. I didn’t try to work too hard to do this or that, but I tried to make our holiday a good one. I think we did good to concentrate not on the trappings of the season, but on the reason for the season. I spent more time away from the [...]

Reason for radio silence

I know this hasn’t been my longest length of radio silence, but I do have (like 2) dedicated readers (unless there are lurkers that I don’t know about—I love you all, no matter what form you decide to take in your readership), so I’m letting you know what’s what. Computer went wonky. What more can [...]

My first attempt

Today’s Farmer’s Market went well. I didn’t sell a whole lot of my stuff, but I sold SOMETHING, and something is better than nothing—-something right now may be the best I could ask for. I sold 1 baby blanket (which I price at $15 for your run of the mill granny square or round ripple…most [...]
