Smiles and Orts
Catalina from above, 2015. Everyone has been telling me that I am so happy these days. They should feel lucky I stayed home with my bronchitis. Napping a lot makes me a very happy, weller ...
Tests with More Photos
Mom and Bob at Milaka’s HS graduation. All day, every day, I struggle, putter, and work with photos. Less coughing and more struggle. Much of the struggle is about my learning disabilities ...
Just the Bear Facts, Mam
Comic Con 2015 I’ve had a several week unresolved struggle with my photohost intermixed with my bronchitis. Snapfish, which I like for its ease of use and minimal payment ideas, is modernizing ...
Salisbury Steak
Have you ever considered the Salisbury steak. For some missbegotten reason, I was thought it was pounded tough meat cooked like hamburger or a hamburger stead with salt and pepper added. Our ...
Frankly my dear....
The truth is, I get little solid sleep at night. I’m still in the “lay down and cough” stage of the disease. Yesterday I grabbed my day by its sunshine and went off to work for a couple of hou...
Wrapped
The Star Sample Quilt is one of Harriett’s. I thought I’d get to spend the day on some soft surface wrapped in quilts. Nope, a Mammogram at a new place…with 5 buck parking. Lunch. I probabl...
Perhaps Bronchitis
The common cold gives me excuses to doze away my days wrapped in quilts out of focus book in hand oblivious to all around me. Even when I wake or perform some mundane task like reading or taking...

Yin and Yang
George at the Comic Con Steampunk Gather 2015. Monday morning, I went in to work to help with the once a year inventory. George went to work. Later that day he even went to his Monday night...
Lights
At dinner time, the sky was still covered in scattered clouds. Coming home from a late meeting, the world was dark and cold but not wet. We had made that extra effort in the morning taking the...
Too Many Quilts
Ok, so the quilt rack is in the way. I move it downstairs and stick it behind my chair. It fits, but it makes the room look over crowded. I move it again. Now it is out of the way in front o...
Comfort and Joy
Fireworks from the Star of India. My world is in as much order as it is ever going to get. Later I shall run to the shop to shelve books. Some of them may sell and so not appear on the invento...
Detritus and Laughter
I make these grandiose plans such as putting away the laundry or washing the dishes, and instead I read. Attempting to achieve some order in the 2015 archive, I fall asleep at my computer. I p...
Nows
My biggest problem is that I think. My head is filled with all sorts of unwanted futures and pasts when it really needs to stay in the now. Now is making it to and from the grocery store befor...
Not Our Usual Christmas
Two years ago, we drove north to have Christmas Breakfast with Margot and Zoe. Last year we didn’t go because George was very sick with a cold. This year, we were already to go, and Margot com...
A Simple Holiday
Social things fade into the background now. He drove up to his office party yesterday, so that’s the last big thing he needs to attend. We have family to share one day with, and we are having ...
Exhilaration
We set out Sunday morning to ride the SD Maritime Museum’s Swift boat. These were used in Vietnam during the war on the rivers. They went up to 29 knots not rising to plane on top of the wate...
Leaning Towers...a gift for you!
Finished Leaning Tower of Piza’s in the Fridge, 2006. Why are they called Leaning Towers of Pisa? Because you can take bite after bite in thin slices around the edges of this desert to make a t...
The Very Best Christmas Tree Ever
Best tree ever…my daughters horse tree. The Holidays are officially here. The last candle was lit on the menorah. Now it’s time to light the fires and candles of Christmas time. Some families...
Wreaths
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery Our local television showed us crowds placing wreaths on stones at Fort Rosecrans this last weekend. I thought the “Wreaths Across America a great idea. Giant ...
Cold and Wet
Milaka and Margot in the snow, Mt. Laguna, 1967. Photo: PAH. I confess, it’s cold. Some of New York is in the 70’s, but here we are in the 40’s with a knife-like wind blowing across th...
Searching
I admit to being tired lately. I’ll sit and read rather than create. I’ll stand at the bottom of one of our ladder like flights of stairs and stare at them rather than climb them. I’m uninspi...
The 2015 Christmas Tree
The tree is done for the moment. There are a few bare spots, and the mouse that looked so little in the store now looks too big for the tree. We own too many animals also. From my father’s b...
Christmas Lights
Chest high boxes. It’s that time of year again. The only topic at the pool this morning was the tree. Are you having a tree? Is your tree up yet? How big is it this year? What a varied lot ...
The Holiday Begins...
…with a rush. As everyone pulls their decorations down from their attics, they clean their spaces too. Acres and hours of donations arrived at the shop and kept me hopping. Just as I started t...
