I wanted to sleep a little later, but I really didn’t need to. Pablocito convinced me of that with his loud meowing. He is a pain in the ass early in the morning and he is the most vocal kitty we have ever lived with. However, he has settled in to curling up beside me…

Before I blog our trip to Scotland, let me take a few moments to process some of what has happened in North Carolina while I was gone. Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage to a huge area of one of my favorite places on Earth – the mountains of North Carolina. I have friends and family…

We haven’t been to the lake since April and will take a short trip down there with a couple of friends soon. We were going to go this past weekend and stay through the week, but between the heat wave and my reluctance to leave Pablocito alone for the first time in his life, we…

I really don’t know why I can’t get myself to catch up on my blog posting. The thing is that I love to look back on my travel posts, and I frequently refer to my search and category functions when I don’t remember a date or a name. You would think that with all the…

I haven’t posted for over a month, which is probably the longest or close to the longest I’ve ever gone without writing. It’s not that I’ve had nothing to say, or that I’ve done nothing. All in all, retirement is working out well for me. Time goes very quickly. I am never bored. As I…

This week I’ve relaxed into my new lifestyle for sure. Tuesday we went to our big used bookstore in town, and we absolutely hate that it will be moving about 40 miles away – grrr – and traded in a few books for credit. We immediately used the credit and I bought two books on…

I have made a little bit of progress on my tapestry, “Rascal and Sissy Share the Sunbeam,” this past week. There’s more than one reason why I named my studio “Slow Turn Studio,” but a big one is that I tend to choose media that take a long time, and even if they don’t, I…

Good morning! Two weeks since I’ve written and I have to say that I am feeling better about retirement. Really good, actually. People who know me well said that they thought getting away from my job would be good for my stress level, and they are right. Even though I’m keeping up with the totally…

The first week of retirement is a wrap now. It feels very weird, but I’m doing okay. When I think too much about it I get a strange sick feeling, so I immediately switch my brain off that topic and move to something else. On New Year’s Day I joined a couple of friends and…
