A Day of Rainbows
I awoke on Tuesday with the above view from my window. The front had moved through leaving only intermittent showers, the slanting sunlight of the early morning making small bits of rainbows in the mists. The temperature had drop and the wind was still up creating an ever changing look to the...
Perserverance! Well done, you!

UnderWaterville
I woke up Monday morning with the weather prediction being 100% chance of rain. I’m thinking, if its 100% it’s not a chance, it’s a certainty. Neither of us was incorrect. Somewhere between showers and rain, there was steady precipitation the whole time I got myself up and to the golf course. An...

Irish Lent
Yesterday I left Swansea via the Bristol Airport, flying to Cork, Ireland. I took the train to Cardiff and changed over to the airport connection. During the ride to Cardiff I was seated with a family group, two mum’s who sat across the aisle and three girls, two 13 and one about 7 (she was a gi...
Aw....sweet music.

KSong A junior orchestra at the local mall. Click to listen. View from my room.
That looks like a nice place. You know how to pick 'em!

Farewell, Norton House
During my stay in Mumbles, I lodged at the Norton House Hotel. Built in 1790 in an elegant fashion. The staircase is made of walnut and there is lots of ornate moldings and 10 foot ceilings. Apparently, a secret space was hidden behind a corner cupboard in the library and under the courtyard was...
You sure do like to horse around!

The Clyne Commons
Hello, There! I’m Abertawe. I’m a pony what lives on the Clyne Commons. Some folks like to call it a Gwlf course, but my kind have been here a lot longer than them blokes what hit their little white balls around. Not that I’m complaining. It’s not a bad life. Even though my commoner doesn't ...
What a lovely walk!

The Mumbles Lighthouse
After golf today, I came back to the hotel and got out some posts. I planned to walk down the main road in Mumbles to have dinner at a restaurant recommended by Steve Jenkins, Captain and General Manager at the Clyne Golf Course where I played. I started out about 5:45PM hoping to get there by 6...
There are probably MORE knitters than golfers, but is there a Knitting Network on TV? And could you find a knitting magazine in an airport gift shop? Not likely. How wonderful to be in an environment where you speak the "language!"

Golf in the Kingdom
So it doesn’t surprise many people when you say you’re going to the UK to play golf. Everyone knows it’s the home of golf, etc. So what’s the big deal? Well, in the US, golf is known as a pastime and that there are many golfers. But, it’s a sub-culture. There are probably just as many knitters a...

Overdue
That's the thing about being retired. Not retiring. Busier than ever. A lot of nice changes. And I'm dropping by to let you know I'm still alive. Alive and knitting. Socks and cowls, all finished after the first of the year. I just made the socks up as I went along. Standard sock pattern, ...
Niiiiiice!

2010
Before the first month of 2011 is history (already!!), I figured I should post a recap of 2010! I made both a mosaic and a video of mostly client work -- including my first wedding! Here's to an amazing 2011... ...and beyond! Thank you!!
Come over to visit and you can see it in real life. The chicks have started to stick their little heads out of the nest!

Nature's Crafters
Some tiny ladies have been busy in my garden. Mr. Celia discovered this humming bird nest in the rose bush outside our living room window. Mama Humm does not really like to have her photo taken. Her work is exquisite and intricate - a fine example of how to use moss, lichens, and co...
Sounds delicious!

Double turkey, double peas.
A cold is battling for dominance of my body today, so I've been wanting some homemade soup. Here's what I have in mind to put together tonight: Trader Joe's turkey meatballs, braised and deboned turkey breast, onions, chicken stock (commercial turkey stock probably isn't an option, or I'd use t...

Darling Pamela,
Just tell me how many hankies you want. I was already planning on bringing you some. And as for Emma, it was in three parts, and it was excellent. I am sure they will re-show it, but maybe not for a little while.
Writing you from the land of tomorrow,
Celia

Hello, I Must Be Going
Yes, in less than 10 hours, I'll be winging my way to Tokyo. I will have me some Girlie time. I am so glad now that I planned this trip because I think I am a little unclear on the concept of retirement. Not that I expected to retire completely from work, but I did expect things to slow down c...

Talkin' Turkey
For more than thirty years we have traveled to Fresno, and this year Thanksgiving came to our house for the first time EVER. It was all one generation at our table. Of course, we missed the kids - those who are thousands of miles away (you know who you are!), and those who are closer but staye...

Also known as advance reader's copies, or uncorrected proofs, or galleys, these are the marketing tools that publishers send out in to the world for review. Some are plain, some are fancy. Mine is the prettiest one I've ever seen, ever, and I worked in a bookstore for a long time, and I've seen ...

Take LOTS, my friend. I'm sure you have a well of tears after what you've been through this last year. I'm usually just fine until I walk away the last time. That's when I get really sad.

I Think I'm Gonna Be Sad
The Girlie that's driving me mad is going away. My chickens, she and her Beau, finally left me after repeated hugs and lingering at the security line. The actual flight leaves at 1:30 PDT. It's never easy saying goodbye. A little over ten years ago, she left for Japan the first time. You'd thi...
It's actually just barely Lassen County and, yes you're right, in the Warner Range. East of Likely. I had to promise not to tell exactly where we go.

Camping with Mom and Dad Where we go is about as far north and as far east as you can be and still be in California. I usually take US80 East to Reno and then head north on 395. I followed this storm all the way up to my destination. The storm made for a beautiful sunset. Which got increas...

Aw. That shrug is really cute! Sending you finishing vibes. I honestly think you can do it.

Yes, you can too knit a place setting.
Some knitters seem to think there is no occasion for which a knitted item is an inappropriate gift. I am definitely one of those knitters. I can't help myself. Sure, I can be snarky about charity knitting--but then I find myself knitting baby things for new parents whom I know only slightly. Is...
