Just to let you know that I’m still around…a very short post. A very frustrated and depressed post, but I’m trying. Last night was a bad one with my hands. A lot of numbness, and that disrupts my sleep. Plus, I’ve started getting these frequent muscle twitches in my neck – not painful, but disconcerting.…

Thanks for your support, as always, my readers rock. I slept without my brace last night and slept well without numbness. Both hands were sore and stiff but quickly came back to normal this morning so I’m going to try to make a post of handmade paper this afternoon when it gets a little warmer…

We are at the tailend of a winter storm here in North Carolina. The Back Forty is covered in snow and a crust of ice. Just kidding. This is a bit more manageable. Sandy gets off work at midnight and the roads were treacherous. He managed to get home safe and sound but I had…

On some mornings, the sky melds with the lake. This is my fourth annual post about a weeklong trip to my cousin’s house on the shore of Lake Waccamaw. This week was a little unusual because we were the only ones there the entire time of our stay. My sister, brother-in-law, niece, and grand-nephew, and…

I am totally overwhelmed with the books I’ve bought in the last few weeks. It’s like a book fiend has taken over my body. Yesterday Sandy and I did a big purge of books to take to Ed McKay’s today, so I could get my new stacks of books off the floor and onto shelves.…

I decided not to try to write a work of literature about the lake trip and just yak about it randomly. It was a quiet vacation, the kind I like, although I’m much better suited to it than my husband. I can be alone for three days with a stack of books or a project…
