We’re havin’ a heat wave, a tropical heat wave…

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Our local stitch n bitch group met this morning – there are usually 2 or 3 members who meet on Monday mornings, but since it’s a holiday, there were about a half dozen of us, and the usual good time was had by all.  I can’t believe that 1 week from today will be our [...]

Ugh

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

So, last Saturday morning, I found what I thought to be a spider bite on my leg – similar to a mosquito bite, but larger & very itchy. By Tuesday, the red mark was 3 times bigger than it had been on Saturday, and was beginning to take on the appearance of a bulls-eye. I [...]

Woah! Big storm

Now I understand why my husband dislikes having trees near the house: This isn’t even our tree-it just fell from next door onto our front lawn. Technically, it isn’t even a tree, just a branch, but the trunk was a little over a foot in diameter. We were fortunate that there wasn’t more damage – [...]

I was going through Facebook earlier, and was appalled at what passes for English these days. (Yes, I’m old).   Then, I saw this on someone’s page: About Me: Simple,Inteligent,phisically well balanced. Orginized,some wat a perfectionist. Hey Sparky – a perfectionist? I think not.

It’s 11pm, and this has been going on all day – except for most of the day, it was sleet & freezing rain, which is now hidden under all the snow.  Shoveling will be fun, I’m sure. Technorati Tags: My Life

Hobbies…

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Someone (Hi Barb!) asked me at our weekly Stitch ‘n Bitch what my hobbies are.  Hmmm…let’s see: Knitting Quilting Gardening Photography Web-stuff (building websites, playing with new software-Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc.) Building Access databases (yes, it’s fun) And for the last year or so, my favorite thing to do which can suck up hours upon [...]

Dad at the movies…

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Since Aunt Tillie has been away for a couple of weeks, Dad decided to take himself to a movie Sunday night.  What did he decide to see? Dad: “I went to see that war movie, you know, Something Thunder.” Me: “Tropic Thunder?” Dad: “Yeah! That’s it!  What a crazy movie-what the hell was it about?  [...]

Seriously?
