Pity party for one
Yesterday, I had severe separation anxiety from my jewelry tools. I am not sure why I thought I could go THREE years without lifting a torch or using my drill press, jewelry kiln, rolling mill, metal shear, or flex shaft. How did I think I could stand living without my jewelry bench, which is perched [...]
And then there was one
My parents went home this morning. It’s quiet here now that everyone has left. I can hear the birds and the occasional drop of rain outside. It was nice to have my parents here for so long. I hope they had fun and that the weather wasn’t too awful for them. They visited the V&A [...]
It’s 44-degrees?
Yes, believe it or not. Last Thursday we had highs in the upper 70s and blue skies, you know, Spring-like weather. Today, the temperature dropped and we enjoyed a light, steady rain. It feels like Thanksgiving or Christmas time in Texas! Just need some stuffing, pumpkin soup, and pumpkin pie. Roxi has a track meet [...]

I am spring cleaning the kitchen. It’s only about 6′ x 12′, so every inch counts. We’ve already accumulated too much stuff, and we’ve only lived [...]
Windsor Castle, an ancient castle with a modern view. I wonder if the old kings and queens ever thought people would be flying overhead every 15 minutes. Photo by The Boss, using my camera. . My parents have been busy seeing the sights, visiting Windsor Castle/Eaton with Roxi on Saturday and then travelling via train [...]
Milkman, Moleskine, Malady
I saw this from my bedroom window this morning. That is an electric cart! Our modern milkman delivering fresh, bottled milk to our neighbors across the street. Yes, I am a notebook junkie. This one is a 18 month calendar with room for notes. Perfect for school-year planning. As for the malady? Well, Roxi is [...]
