Typepad has even made it difficult to comment now, I have to sign in and I can't comment at all on some blogs. I made the move to Word Press years ago and I'm so glad I did - not that I knew it was the right choice at the time but it has definitely turned out that way. Good for you for hopping back on that exercise wagon!

You will be seeing a lot more of me here in my effort to spend less time on facebook, which tends to be a huge time suck for me. With the upcoming elections I'm sure the political fury will kick up which is another good reason to back away and concentrate on the positive things in my life. S...
Chatham is such a lovely spot and I love the sandwiches from that cook shop. You and Ken definitely made the most of the non-beach weather we had at the beginning of the week.

Vacation Postcards #2
I have to say that the weather this summer up here in the mountains hasn't been the best. So much more humidity then we are used to and a lot of murky days. Our first few days on the Cape were pretty much the same. Cloudy, hot and humid, but we decided to make the best of it and visit place...
It sure was an awesome week!

Postcards from Vacation 2018
I have been trying to find my blog voice again, so to ease back into it, I thought I would follow Carole's lead and share snippets of our summer vacation on Cape Cod. We have been so fortunate to enjoy 7 amazing summers on the Cape both with our children and some alone. We have loved every sin...
Those morning glories are stunning, such a beautiful rich color! I'm always happy when you blog.

Peacock iridescence in veridical shadows, Violet blooms spread to noonday sun. The world's beauty is a swirl of color, But in the flower's center is bright stillness. Deng Ming~Dao It's been a while hasn't it? When I took this picture yesterday, I was looking for this very quote from my favor...

We've been there and back again. Ha! Almost as soon as our last show ended, we got on a plane. Finally, we got to meet this little fellow. Our grandson. He's amazing! And big! If we'd waited much longer, he's have been holding me. Living so far away is terrible. We knew that before. Afte...

Buy Early and Buy Often
i consider myself to be crazy fortunate to be friends with some extremely creative and talented people. and one of those people, is caro aka splityarn. if you've spent any time with me, you've probably noticed my orange-y camera strap. or perhaps you've admired one of the many box bags and/o...
I will admit that I complain. Probably starting around November. But if it was up to me ALONE then I would not live here, ya know? As it is, I only complain about the cold and I don't complain about the heat. Pick one and hate it more, I say. And for me, that's the cold.
Hasn't the weather the last few days been wonderful, though? Of course, now we will pay.

Eye Candy Friday
one of my pet peeves, and i've been called on this because i seem to let it annoy me way more than it should, is when people who live here in New England, of their own free choice, complain about the winter. and how long it is. and how cold it is. and how snowy. and who wonder out loud if a ...
I do want some. And I even have some Ella Rae classic. Yours are lovely and I love your rules. Although, if I have a hang over I do call in sick.

Distractions
so i've been distracted lately and have neglected the blog. and blogging. and other people's blogs. (seriously, i've been reading though. well i read some. in the past two days. did some catching up. whoa, i'm subscribed to a lot of blogs). anyway, yesterday margene asked me if i was eve...

hi! i'm back. and i'm a bit of a loser. and a quitter. yep, i quit on day 295, a mere 70 days before making it to 365. but i'm ok with it. first of all, i was feeling a lot of pressure every day to write something. second of all, since november and then the first of january, i committed to...

I "met" Jenn a few years ago, early in my blogging life. She was kind and sweet and we figured out early on that we lived maybe at most a couple of miles from each other. but we never met. i wasn't meeting people back then (heh), and i think that she was maybe just a little shy. She also li...

All those super cold days make us appreciate a day or two like this weekend. At least, that's what I tell myself.

today was considerably warmer than it's been lately, making going outside in 43 degree weather feel like a cool, summer's day. ok, not quite. but you know what i'm talking about. ************************** day 294 -- saturdays pass by much too fast
The days are definitely getting longer - hooray!

another pair of 2x2 rib socks are done. this time, i used a really beautiful color of Trekking XXL. this is my first pair of trekking socks and certainly not my last. i like how springy (not as in the season) and solid they feel. and the variegation made these fun to knit. and yes, i kno...

We went to the mall yesterday, too, to get Hannah a dress for a semi-formal next weekend. There were people around, it wasn't completely empty. And the sales woman at Macy's was so kind and helpful and friendly. It was actually not awful.

Saturdays Are For Shopping At The Mall
today i went to the mall. i almost never go to the mall and i certainly haven't been on a saturday in a long time. it's kind of a sad place. just a mirror of everything that is wrong with this world. rude people, spending money they don't have, not paying attention to others while they drive...

i did not leave my house today. i'm just pretending that i did. ************************** day 281 -- for those of you not from around here, the CITGO sign is a famous Boston landmark and is synonymous with the Kenmore Square/Fenway Park area. you know, where the Boston Red Sox play.
I love those colors. And the great thing about Trekking socks is that they last forever.
