Today, from 10:30 am until about a half an hour ago (4:30 pm) the power was out. We had received a nice little letter from the electric company about a week ago telling us that this was going to happen, so it wasn’t a total surprise. Still, it sucked. Luckily, the battery for the …
I keep trying to pack only to find myself stymied by the fact that I am going to need to wear/use some of the items that are still on the list in the remaining 10 days that I am here. I should be outside enjoying what little I have left of the lovely English summer except …
This has been a seriously rough weekend here at The Old Chapel. Jiji, the cat that my husband had when I first met him, became quite ill on Thursday night. She stopped eating and was quite lethargic so I stayed up all night with her trying to get her to eat and drink every half …
So on Monday I got yet another package from my lovely friend Tini this time containing all of her leftover bits of sock yarn. I am planning on knitting this blanket when, well, I don’t know what will have to happen to make it start… But I am planning on it as it is totally …
I am fully caffeinated for the first time in about 2 months. Yesterday, I went out and filled big blue (my trusty 52 ounce insulated mug) up with flourecent yellow Mountain Dew goodness and ice and drank deeply. It was oh so good.

Every time we drive through it I think or say, “Horton hears a what!!!?!?!“. It’s an illness, I really can’t help …
Tyra, put that pattern for a baby sweater down! I’m not talking about me (yet) but rather my neighbors across the road. There are, at last count, 4 sets of twins in the field next door that were not there yesterday. In fact, one set I got to see being born this morning on our …
Trust me on this one. It has been weeks of forgetting things, taking 20 minutes to get out of the house because I keep finding that I have gotten to the car without the keys/purse/thing that I need/pants (seriously, pants, don’t ask). I’m not quite sure what is going on here. I am usually the …
Once again, I got my pesky valuable and very informative homework out of the way earlier today, so I am free to write this and not freak out about how it needs to be done before I can go to bed tonight. This is growth. As I write this, I am also downloading some audio …
