At this point, I really should switch to herbal tea. In fact, I have been drinking hot herbal tea in the late afternoon and evening lately. I guess it was all that reading about life in Wales that made me want hot tea. Last night I drank real tea and I was awake until 2:30,…

Here’s what I got done today other than preparing meals and washing dishes and making the bed, which don’t count. I cleaned the ceiling fan in my room, which is harder than it sounds. I noticed that some artwork I had leaning on the molding over the closet doors were really dusty too so I…

Should I even pretend that I don’t go back to bed after I get up to feed the little monsters at 8 a.m.? Nah, I want you to think better of me than that. So let’s pretend. I didn’t want to get up from my last dream this morning. For once, it was helpful. I…

I found these two photos from my trip to Penland in June 2001 where I took a beading class from Sonya Clark. Popping them here so that I don’t lose them. If I find more, I’ll have a place to put them, but I have a feeling that most of them were lost in the…
