For a couple of weeks or more I've been on a de clutter campaign.  This was prompted by the suspicion that we have bed bugs.  I still haven't found any actual bugs, casings, stains, or eggs, but...

that's how I feel today, and that's how much energy I have.I've had this thing going off and on with my throat/laryngitis.  First a minor sore throat, then no soreness but my voice got suddenly...

Warning - don't read this is you easily creeped out by bugs of any kind.I'm still not 100% sure, but I think we have bed bugs.  I think it was 6 or 7 days ago when I woke up with two itchy spots on...

Phew - that was a very strange and large storm.  We lost power at 1:26 on Sunday.  It had been a very breezy gusty day with wind speed picking up as the day went on, but the odd thing is that there...

I've had a couple of good days in a row.  Yesterday I finished a commisioned pyrography of a cat - except for finishing touches, and I made progress on another project.  In the evening I went to...

Wow - it's been 3 months since I posted here.  I guess that's largely because I was busy with a project and with planning a trip to Iowa for my hubby's family reunion.  I made a quilted memory wall...

My husband was on Good Morning America today.  I'm proud of him and I love the way he loves his work.  If anyone reading this would care to take a look, there's a video clip of what aired this...

It's September!!  Yay!  It's started out with a lovely day too.  Sunny - warm (but not too warm) and dry air.  I will be able to go for a walk today for sure, and that's good because it really...

Hooray, Hooray - Labor Day weekend starts today!    I have been so looking forward to this since Memorial Day.  It seems that Cape Cod gets worse every year with overcrowding, traffic jams, and...

Today is my birthday - I'm 55.  The scale says 239 this morning.  I have been swinging 3 pounds north or south of 245 for a long time, but the pendulum is swinging lower now.  I think I've...

Yesterday was the most excellent day I've had in a while.  An old friend that I haven't seen or heard from in about 37 years came to my house for a visit.  She and I had a lot of similar challenges...

It's been a while since I posted here.  I've just been caught up a whirlwind of stuff n things - ups and downs.  Good news:  My skin has healed except for a couple of scars that may fade in...

Yesterday was blah on a couple of levels.  First came the news that a friend had been in a car accident and although she was not hurt, her beloved dog was killed.  This was one sweet yellow lab...

It's been a while since I wrote here, but things are getting better. My poison ivy turned into excema because the skin was overly dried out, so more itching still, but it is improving and I'm not...

This week started out real rough, but I think things are turning around. Monday I came down with a raging UTI. I have a problem of getting these frequently and have been investigating the root...
