The life of a traveling, reading, writing, spining and knitting shepherdess.

Yes, I finally got the hubby to release the photos from the cameraphone onto the laptop!  It is a win-win day for all of us.  Please remember that I didn’t have a “real” camera with me so there aren’t as many photos as I would have normally taken.  Also, it was pouring down rain a …

I realize that I haven’t been very good of late of showing or telling what I’ve been up to since I got back from the US.  So, I am going to have a monster blog entry to try to show you all the fun and exciting things that have been going on since my return. …

Ok, so I am not going to say anything about blueballs, I just couldn’t stand not using it.  I accidentally typed in blueballs the first time I tried to type bluebells.  What can I say, that’s where my mind goes!  So, I’m sorry if you found this post hoping for a cure for blueballs or …
