Perhaps I've been a little hard on Doug in past posts... especially about his white jeans and sunburn dilemma on a cruise from a few years back. But honestly, he gives me so much great material to work with. I can't help myself. That said, as a family we have a history of fashion oddities beyond the white …

The Homeless Blog
I was clueless about the world of blogdom, so I started a blog. I thought it would be good to read up and see what other people do so I knew where to fit in. I've learned a lot in the last few months - at least about what other people do on their blogs. Some bloggers …
Plant History
Every time I've moved much is given or sadly thrown away, but the houseplants must always go to a good home. One of my favorites was a "Prayer Plant". The leaves roll up at night as if in prayer and open wide in the morning as if giving thanks for the day. It was relatively new before our move …
You’ve Got To Be Tough To Get Old
First thing I do every morning is take my thyroid medication because the instructions say to take on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before a meal and continue on the same schedule forever till you die (instructions don't really say that last part). If I don't do it this way I forget. In the past …
Created To Give
A new thing created ... finished with care .... nothing feels better to me. Last week I spent time with a group of women who are movers and shakers in the quilt world. Their mission field is the sewing machine and they meet every Tuesday for most of the year. They create beauty and warmth, sending tangible hugs far, far away. …
Yard Sales and Road Trips
Next Sunday I leave for California...time with family and Father's Day with my father. Doug will stay here...Home Alone....hmmm? When I get back, we are having a yard sale...maybe, possibly. I believe yard sales are hard work and generally not worth the effort...would much rather give things away. In fact, I have been known to say "sure …
Glad the World didn’t end Today…..
........otherwise I'd have missed my birthday ....and more time with my little peeps.....
Job’s Life Kind of ….sucked
No disrespect to God's word....but I think I need to change-up my reading plan until I feel better. I know things turned out OK for Job in the end, but I can't wait that long...at least for now. I don't know if its the cough that won't go away, or the Oregon rain that won't stop, or …
Why I am Here
Last week while I rambled about being a reluctant hostess, I mentioned an old Alaska sourdough named Fred. My plan was to tell you about Fred after sharing a little something about Easter. My husband tells me I don't need to say something about everything all of the time, and apparently this is so because …
How War of the Worlds Helped Save Me From Doom
Saturday night...War of the Worlds...Tom Cruise... I need to make clear I am neither a science fiction enthusiast nor a Tom Cruise fan. I was simply at loose ends last Saturday night. Doug was glued to the computer and I had a mountain of ironing to do. My head ached, throat was sore so didn't care …
