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

I’ve not really had a lot of time to dwell on all of my endings here in Florida.  But last night something occurred that drove the point home pretty harshly.  One of my geese was taken by, well, something large.  I am guessing a bear though I have never had that happen before.  However, whatever …

Yesterday was the “big” vet appointment.  It was where the International health certificate, the EU health certificate and the Virgin Atlantic health certificate were all filled out by the vet.  It took several hours in total and was really important because if there are any major mistakes in this pile of papers our pets could …

Tuesday night at Yarn Therapy I got a late birthday/early moving/random happy day gift from Terri Pike the fearless leader of our group. It is a felted rock. The cat embroidered onto it symbolizes “a nice lady lives here” in hobo signs.  (For more hobo signs, just google “hobo signs”.  I told Terri that the …

Packing is in full-swing here.  We’re up to the mid 200’s in the box numbers.  Mind you a lot of those are the wonderful cat food and litter buckets that I am obsessive about saving since they make great yarn containers but they are not the biggest things to pack things into.  However, they are …

My husband is a saint.  No, it’s not that he only has the patience of one (which he does) but that he is, in fact, as saint.  The pope just doesn’t know it yet.  Screw the pope (he probably needs it!), the world doesn’t know it yet.  I am sure that some folks kinda figured, since …
