Doing a coffee pot post today before I blog my trip to Tucson. I’ll drop the personal details here from the past week or so then do a separate post for the pretty pictures. The days before my trip were consumed with getting the studio cleaned and the yard stuff moved to the shed part…

what to do what to do what to do A little over a week since the beginning of the end of human history, I am emerging from a fog of fever and phlegm: the virus that hit both of us and numbed us both somewhat for over a week. Sandy less so; his coughing has…

Well, it’s been a crazy week. I was lucky to spend the previous week with Edwina Bringle and a fabulous small group of fiber artists at Wildacres Retreat near Little Switzerland, North Carolina, but that post will be coming after I sweep out the brainpan. “Be careful what you wish for,” as in when you…

I really am working on the Mexico travel posts. I’m almost ready to post the ones from Querétaro. I wrote a lot of it when I was in the throes of a very bad mood so I need to edit that and add the photos I’ve edited and uploaded. I’ve vented a lot of this…

Wow, what a roll this week has been. As soon as we unloaded at our AirBNB in Surf City last Thursday night, we headed out for dinner and my Chevy Lumina just stopped, and then would not crank back up. Some would say that we should have known better than to drive a 25 year…

The church bells are chiming out twelve rings as I begin writing this post. Now they are playing hymns, which never ceases to annoy me but not quite as much as it used to. I know the words to many of these hymns and I am prone to hymn earworms, and a lot of them…

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,…
