I’m trying to get grounded. I’m going through another one of those ‘things-seem-to-be-spiraling-out-of-control’ phases. Thank goodness they only happen now and then. You probably know what I am talking about. I know I’m not that unique. So I am reaching, stretching, and trying to find things to hold onto. I know I am tremendously blessed,…
Half Way Through February 2007
We celebrated our 19th Wedding Anniversay at the end of January. p=. It was quiet one at home, since I wasn’t in good shape. But we do have a raincheck for a nice, quiet dinner out together, alone, soon. I have some new FO’s(Finished Objects) to share. First, for the “Caps for a Cure Yahoo…
End of 2006 Round-up
Unfortunately, the chaos at the end of the year, coupled with my inability to get around well, I missed photo ops of several of the projects that I knit at the end of 2006. But I did knit up 2 “Calorimetry”:http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html headbands – one for a Girl Scout Council Christmas party gift exchange and one…

Growing up, Knitting and a Contest
Have you ever noticed how some adults seem like they were never kids? But we all were, once upon a time. These type of adults tend to intimidate me – of my own accord, since most of the time I feel more like a little kid than an adult. I yearn to have the responsibilities…
Ewe Rammed Knee
Yes, she did. Long story short – we had shut the animals in the barn, with the intent on checking Blondie’s tum, as it appears a bit swollen – possibly ‘with lamb’. I was assured that putting the rams and ewes together in one pasture for a few weeks while we were fencing in at…
Autumn Peak 2006
I’m feeling the urge to come back to writing here. I’ve been knitting – hats, hats, hats, hooey, hats! I’ve been carrying on with the regular chaos that is life. But today, we took time out to enjoy the peak of Autumn, and most likely to say _Au Revoir_ to the last warm and beautiful…
House Flipping – Real Estate Investment
Anyone have any experience with it? _Him_ and I have talked about doing this for almost 20 years. It seems an opportunity may have arisen for us to get our proverbial feet in the proverbial door. _He_ has much practical experience – necessity bred that – and I have the insane ability to study and…
