Spindles and Etsy
Yes, we have an etsy store. It was done for a number of reasons, but mostly to let Jamie and I continue to create, but not keep absolutely everything we make! LOL If we had, we'd be living in more of a museum than we are already. It is certainly nothing that will support us - but it *will* let us buy materials to make more stuff. We've had a good ( Read more... ) -
crap week
Tussled with my brother after I discovered he was driving a wedge between my parents and I. Tried to resolve a mistake I made in regards my parents. San Bernadino. My dentist of 18 years died. My dog is sick. Feeling never good enough after a couple of incidents with my daughter. Had to tussle (a little) with the new dentist to get a tooth pulled. ( Read more... ) -
health
As usual, it is Monday, I hurt like hell, and I am evaluating life. The topic at hand is the severity of incapacity I deal with. I walk a weird line. I can do anything I want. I don't suffer until afterwards. It could be toward the end of the activity, or the next day. I have to weigh the odds before I do anything, or go anywhere. To my friends, it ( Read more... ) -

Banner "War"
It is the night before a big medieval event. Not Portrero big, but large for me. As usual before any kind of people gathering, I am a nervous wreck and I haven't slept a wink. My shyness kicks in when I'm alone, mostly. As we arrive at a gathering, I summon up my courage, get out my shield, and paint a smile on my face. But, Jeezo-pete, it's ( Read more... ) -
Stories from childhood
We used to go camping in Mineral King, when it was a game reserve next to Sequioa National Park. It was a two-hour drive up a little tiny twisted road. We would go for a few weeks every year, just prior to Labor Day (cuz that's when it snowed and the road closed for the winter). Talk about heaven! It was a nature wonderland. Only problem was that ( Read more... ) -
ice cube trays
An announcement: I filled the ice trays and put them in the freezer. All of them. My hands did not turn purple and shriveled up. They did not fall off. They did not leap to my throat of their own accord. I did not fall to the floor in s fit of apoplexy. I survived unscathed. I await my medal of courage ( Read more... ) -
must not go postal, must not -..
Rush to post office today with a couple of packages. Not a big deal, just go to the mailbox area. Open all night, self-serve kiosk, secure bin for the boxes. Two people in front of me, not usually a problem. Unless it's today and I'm in a hurry. First guy never used a self-serve before, moves slowly, and actually stops to place the postage on his ( Read more... )
