Have Fun! We laughed so much that I’m surprised all of us didn’t have stomach stitches by the end of the weekend! Knitting got done, but it was really more about getting away from daily life, exchanging stories and having our batteries recharged! I think I’d definitely love to do this again – perhaps next…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Glow I’m too tired to do much besides just sign on and promise more details later, but the retreat was amazing. I can’t figure out WHY I’m tired, it’s not like I did a lot – perhaps it was the late hours and the G&T’s ladies…? At any rate, what an amazing and fun bunch…
Johnny Cash & Tex Ritter’s Boy I wasn’t really surprised to hear that Johnny Cash had died – I figured after June passed on in May he was just marking time. But what a shock to hear that John Ritter died suddenly on the set of his TV show! I always felt a little bad…

Here are the skeins for our retreat drying on the porch! and it’s SPORTWEIGHT! $16/Skein 225 yds per skein (enough for…
Strike! What a great party! Gerry, the wonder-mensch, contacted a bunch of my friends and arranged a girls bowling party at the seediest (but most atmospheric) lanes on Rt 22! It was a toss up whether we’d bowl, go to the strip club adjoining the alley, or get a few checks cashed at the WE…
Gorgeous Day! This weather is absolutely amazing – if only all year could be like this! It’s about 78∫ and sunny – breezy – beautiful! Last night we had a blackout in our neighborhood. Actually, only one half of one side of the street seemed to be out, but we were part of it. Apparently…
The answer is 42 Today we’re in celebration mode! The kids have their first day of school (Hannah’s in 2nd grade, Max’s in Kindergarden) and it’s also my birthday (woo hoo!) a day I share with Louis Sullivan, my favorite architect. Love that romanesque revival ornamentation! No big plans for the day – aside from…
Thank you! I spent most of yesterday and a good part of this morning trying to track down a low cost clinic in my area. I found out they’re not called clinics anymore, but Community Health Centers – wahoo! Thank you to Lisa, Lizzy, Beth, Larry, Alison, Ann, and everyone else who urged me to…
You Give Me Fever… Yes, it’s true. Possibly for the 5th time this summer I have a raging fever. This one with major body aches, sore throat – you name it… You know, one of those sore throats that wake you up in the middle of the night because it’s so painful. My tongue is…
I Happen To Like New York… warning, clicking on the above link with play a sound file I took the kids into the city today to the Museum of Natural History – FABULOUS! We had the most AMAZING time! I hadn’t been there in years (I used to basically hang out there when I first…
