Well, this Thanksgiving was epic!  Normally we drive to Robb’s mom’s house in Morristown.   A couple years ago we all met at his ex-wife Kelly’s house (Curtis and Zac’s Mom - the SANE one, not the inmate) and had an extended family Thanksgiving which was also nice.

This year, I decided to cook for everybody at my house.  That started Monday.  I did ( Read more... )

Of all the days to be working, I thought. Thanksgiving Day. Oh well, it's not as though I were missing anything right this minute. I really would have liked to be cooking like a fiend, but this morning I settled for arranging flowers. My mundane trade is a florist. In a grocery store. So I get to be a 'fake' florist just like I'm a 'fake' Witch to ( Read more... )

You know how preparedness is the key to success?  Patience pays off? 
Time teaches many things and patience is just one of those lessons? 
Hehe, well I’ve been paying attention.

Sure, it’s been a long hard slog back up from the hole I fell into in 2007.  
It was an Initiatory experience, of epic proportions from my perspective. 
I don’t expect very many ( Read more... )

Lammas is when I feel the exhaustion of production...that first thought of "Gods I need to sit down and REST!!!"  Or at least that is what I normally feel about this time of year.  This is a time when if you have a garden, every day brings some blessing of abundance from the green world.  It is also the time when forgetting to water just once can ( Read more... )

Well, life sometimes gives us unplanned adventures.  I love spontaneous adventures, don’t you?  Out of the blue, I commented on someone’s status on Facebook today, and, before I knew it, my whole night changed.  Didn’t matter that I had buffalo chicken in the crock pot.  In fact, that was as stroke of genius because it meant I didn’t need to cook ( Read more... )

So I’ve been making quilt tops.  I guess I should not say ‘quilting’ until I’ve actually put a quilt on a frame and started that process, which so far has not happened - but it will.  The quilt frame is just awaiting cash.  Soon baby, soon!

Anyway, I’ve paused in my own projects to do one for a friend by request.  She wanted me to take her father’s ( Read more... )

The Wild Hunt » Grey Cat 1940 - 2012

Friday afternoon I went to pick up my husband from work and was listening to my Ipod and "Yesterday" shuffled through, immediately followed by "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLaclan.  I shivered, wondering if the chill I felt was her touch in passing.  At that moment, the phone rang, my husband on the other end ( Read more... )

There is so much wrong with the political landscape these days.   I see the wave of craziness, and it’s not like we knew it wasn’t coming, we’ve been hearing it for years - how the evangelical contingent of Christianity was systematically training up its ‘army for Christ’.  I have no problem with Christ.  It’s his followers that I have the issue ( Read more... )

I cannot begin to explain how much I am just in awe...that there are others, who are this crazy about the land they live on.  It's like a love affair.  And being torn from my own bit of land, is painful, excruciatingly so...and this is the only thing I have ever read anywhere that comes anywhere close to describing ( Read more... )
