Summer Passing
At the Fair Summer thinks it’s gone. Yet here in the Southwest, we have Santa Ana’s….winds that blow from the desert to the ocean. They pick up the heat from the desert floor and blow us away ...
Home
Duck’s Sunflowers on the Stair Landing. I’m still working on the living room. Twitch this, move that, bring a rocking chair up from the garage, add a cushion, take away a cushion….all attempts...

Orts and Flame Outs and Rants
It’s the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I am glad I’ve been a bit more awake for it this year. Forgive me if I say what I am thinking…though I appreciate Susan B Koman for makin...
The Fastness of Time
Time is going too fast. I make myself fit into my projects rather doggedly when I know I would be a better person if I relaxed. Books get shelved, dishes done, the house picked up, and...
Delightful Futsting
I played with pictures, I planned menus, I played with more pictures. We had leftover meatloaf, potatoe patties that fell apart, half avocados, and green beans with that dangerous stuff bacon. ...
Sunny Days 2
Beaches on the far side of the island. Fall is here in Southern California. Few trees change color, but the land just seems to get browner while the nights give us great outdoors sleeping weath...

Delightfully home again. We did it all in one suitcase each encluding pillow, and we did one main thing a day, ate simply…which is good given our figures, and slept well in a delightful, old, h...
Glorious Showers

Before I must confess that I like a pretty, bright and colorful home. As I begin on Bobbies quilt, I have lost the dining room and compressed the living room. That’s what we get for buying a s...
Monday Tid-Bits
It’s almost my youngest daughter’s birthday, (Photo taken in the 90’s), and I hope she gets her package ok. Don’t all mother’s and grandmother’s fuss that way? They overpack presents, send i...
Televisions
Margot is enjoying her new TV. We have a nice big, fuzzy image, and I can say we both learned a lot about TV’s. The small Hi Definition TV upstairs is clear as a bell out of water. The ...
Windows 10...
…was a bad experience. To take your computer from Windows 10 to where it was before you downloaded Windows 10: Create a system image before you install Windows 10. BEFORE. How? There are nu...
On Again
I’ve snuck into work two days this week and managed to shelve a lot of the new books. It really bothers me that so much gets undone when I only work books supposedly one day a week. I worked S...
Whopper
Our big old TV is installed and working at Margot’s house. New one installed here. Slightly muzzy image….but BIG. I’ve finished the first draft of the “Third Reich Autobahn” article. I deliv...
