Today I’m better – yay sleep! I just had a nice cup of tea and a roll for breakfast, and I’m going to visit a local CVS to get some grooming product so that I’m more beautiful than ever for this evening. Sort of a low bar, but I try to crawl across it every…

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!
Lake Sick
I’ve never, EVER, EVER had a problem with any kind of seasickness. [da, da, DUHHHHHHH] Until today. Maybe it’s because I’m still listening to the Outlander books and one of the main characters is seasick? Sympathy sickness? Could it be that my cruise today started with a beer? Possibly it was the 5 hour drive…
Yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon…

Timber!
My cousin fell. She’s been battling a recurrence of breast cancer, and while on vacation in the Outer Banks of NC she took a spill at a lighthouse, splintering her thigh bone. Apparently there was a tumor hiding in there, so the bone just shattered. I cannot begin to imagine the pain, but every day…
The Fish Came Back
Saturday was an amazing day. We went to Snail Lake, just north of us here in St. Paul, and spent the day fishing & swimming (kids) and just sitting and talking (adults) and had a wonderful time! Thank you, Amy, for suggesting it! It was a windy, cool, wonderful day – warm in the sun,…
What Makes A Medium?
Sizing makes me nuts. Women’s dress sizes (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc.) mean quite a different thing from manufacturer to manufacturer – and even from decade to decade! [Image from devoted2vintage.co.uk] For instance, the standard size 6 waist measurement in 1984 was 23 inches. The Gap’s size 6 waist measurement in 2002 was 29…
Fishing Lessons
Max and Hannah fished all weekend, catching several sunfish and Max has had his first “one that got away…” story involving a very large Bass and an eye witness (more than most folks have…) B, our friend’s husband, was incredibly generous with his time and skill in showing Max fishing tips and adding a new…
Such a Lovely Weekend!
Our family had SUCH a wonderful time this weekend – we are very grateful to our wonderful friends, M&B, who put up with 2 electronically-engaged kids, 1 aloof poodle, and a couple of adults who limped their way around the lake. Gerry forgot his major pain meds, his oxy, which we didn’t realize until we…
Lake-ish
I’m up visiting Myrna (kvell) and her wonderful husband at their lake house. Yes, Gerry and the kids are here, too. Finally, a trip with ALL of us on the road! And the dog. Woof. So far we’ve been wined and dined, and while Bob took Hannah and Maxie out in the boat for some…
Feed Me, Seymour
I’ll be the first to admit when I’m licked, and I just cannot figure out the RSS / Atom / Google Reader feed thing to save my life. If anyone can explain it to me, in lay-woman’s terms, I’d be very appreciative. Right now I create my blog through blogger, and host it at www.modeknit.com….
