Old Faithful- that’s what I should have named this wonderful car. This was the first new car I had ever owned. It was a family car, but I say “I” since I was the one who put nearly 275,000 miles on her over the span of 18 years. This car brought new puppies home… Read More Old Faithful
We painted our fireplace purple. Yes, it was a bold move and one that I am still on the fence about. I had wanted to go with a deep eggplant color- but it ended up being quite a bright purple in the end. My husband claims he likes it- it’s different and maybe that is… Read More We painted our fireplace purple
We all know that yoga is beneficial for your body; in fact I can tell you that the benefit is real folks!

Trying to stick to just one is a real challenge for me- seeing something that has to be done when I am in a certain room distracts me from the task I might be currently working on. This multi tasking thing doesn’t “really” work. In… Read More Current projects

Stubby ( my gray bobtailed cat), Blackie ( my brother named him…), Goldy (my goldfish that evolved into “Silver” as he… Read More Naming wool is like naming kittens
How many of you listen to opera while burning brush? You don’t? well I don’t, necessarily either, but my husband does. He is in absolute heaven! His favorite things are gardening, books and opera on Saturday afternoon. Hmmmm. Did I know this when I married him those many years ago? No, but did he… Read More At the burn pile with opera
When people have lost pets (cats in particular) I’ve heard some say “what’s wrong with her, he was just a cat.” Obviously they have never known the unconditional love of an animal. George was the best cat I have ever had the privilege to share a small part of my life with. There have… Read More He was just a cat… George
