Today the big snowstorm began. We haven’t had a significant amount of winter weather in years, so everybody is very excited. I worry about my 90 year old mother, who is a three hour drive away. She is without power but has a woodstove and a pile of wood inside. She says that she is…

Lucy is quite camera shy for some reason. I usually turn off the flash so I don’t know why. Pablocito (here) and Diego get very excited when I change the sheets on the bed. Lucy was actually interacting with Pablo, who was under the sheets rolling around. This is a good sign. This is going…

Today is the first full day I’ve gotten off because of snow in a long time! I can walk to work and I don’t have children, so usually I end up going in. But the university was closed today. Yay! So I fired up the wood stove and played with weaving some denim strips. I…

Right now, I am nearly completely fixated on weaving strips of cloth together and stitching on them. I enjoy it so much that it is hard to tear myself away from it to do anything else. So I’ve decided that the 2014 map is not going to get finished. Oh, it was very helpful in…

A wet morning, with the temperature dropping all day to settle around 4 to 8 degrees tonight. We ain’t used to this down here. I picked up that beautiful blue and green stone on a Puget Sound beach. Theo is still my lil sweet potato and he still likes to play.

“Oyster Santa” at some friends’ “Old Christmas” party. So good! Prince Pablo on his throne.
