I keep trying to be a better blogger, but at the very least, I keep showing up, right? I have found a few new things that have kept me off of social media and I am completely ok with this because social media can be such a mindless time suck that really doesn't produce much other than a sens...

I want to start off by saying thank you all so much for the kind words you left me last week. Aging hands and brand new hands. ❤️ Ken took a few days to head south to visit his mother and brother's family in Pennsylvania last week and after working 2 long weeks, I was ready for some down time...

"Holding hands is a promise to one another that, for just a moment, the two of you don't have to face the world alone." My hands are the story of my life. When I look at them, I see my age (hands don't lie)..my years of labor and love, my years of loss and success. They are the story of my l...

Nearing the end of this wee sweater as I continue on the big brown blob. Two little sleeves and some pretty little buttons are all that is left. 💕. It's been a very busy couple of weeks, some of which has allowed me some good car knitting time, which is always a little blessing tucked in betwe...

A few weeks ago my daughter, Ashley, asked me if I could watch little Junie on Monday and Tuesday for the first 2 weeks in November and knowing that I didn't have any commitments I was so happy to be able to spend this time with her. Technically this isn't Walk with Me Wednesday, but technic...

I really enjoy cooking or baking, so on Thursdays I will frequently bring in a treat for the girls I work with because we usually have a little down time where we can discuss the week, how it's going and what needs to get done for the day/weekend. I came across a scrumptious looking recipe f...

After a long hiatus, I pulled on my sneakers, put on some workout clothes (girl you need to work out!) and climbed up on our treadmill. Ken bought this last year with a big screen loaded with Ifit, and nothing makes a workout go faster than doing it with a companion who has an interesting sto...

Well, I pretty much managed to skip a week now didn't I..LOL. It's been a busy week and like everyplace else it seems, we are working sort staffed, so it adds a little layer of stress in, even though I love my job and what I do! This is a typical Saturday night for us. Some sort of appetizer...

Ok, so this is not a great picture of my Airy yarn and that is my fault...the lighting wasn't the best and I hate using a flash, but what I am going to show you in a little bit will show you just how much fun these colors really are! I sometimes struggle to think of myself as a maker because i...

I was so sad to see summer come to an end...really sad!! Somehow though my internal Autumn clock kicked and the desire to be a bit more domestic started to kick in as well. Of course baking went right to the top of my list because I love to bake on the cool and rainy days we started having. I...

Ken and I spent the bulk of our weekend on the coast where the weather was much better than up here in the mountains. Isn't this an amazing picture? The picture doesn't even do justice to how beautiful and how much depth of colors were in the clouds and water against the black rocks. Sat...

It's been a while hasn't it? I'm not going to lie, I have gone back and forth over giving up this space and letting it go or just keep paying for it every month and not doing anything with it, which is what I have been doing. Truth be told however, this little blog holds 17 years worth of ...
