I love my camera. I bought it YEARS ago, and I’m constantly astounded by the quality of the photos, and the ease of operation. But it’s a small little camera, an Elph, and the quality is a bit limited.So I thought I’d check out cameras that take higher quality photos. My little elph, sensing my…

The photos in this blog entry are from the Omaha World Herald website. When I arrived in Omaha it was mid afternoon. I checked into my hotel, answered email and tidied up, then headed over to String of Purls yarn shop. I was early, which was good. I figured I’d park and get a bite…

Getting here was amazingly easy – drive South, turn Left Right at Des Moines – and Iowa was so much more beautiful than I’d expected! I don’t know what my expectations were of Iowa, I don’t know that I spent much time thinking about it (sorry, Iowa…) However, as I drove through Iowa and Nebraska,…

The dog-running-along-with-the-bike attachment (thanks blog readers!) should be arriving any day, but I’m impatient so I’ve been taking the slow, back roads with Atticus the running poodle – The S L O W L Y running poodle – puffing along on his leash.

My class this morning was pretty darned big. It was bigger than I expected (60 eager women – I thought it would be 20…) but it was fun! All my classes here at Purljam have been so great; excellent students, a warm yarn shop staff and a lovely facility. It’s exactly what I needed to…

I like this makeup, I use it and I’m always happy with how clean it feels. My cousin turned me onto it, and I’ve discovered there’s a strong underground of red-haird, red-faced women who love the coverage (when I wear it I look a little less like the town drunk…) So a friend sent me…

One of the reasons I haven’t been posting so much since TNNA is I’ve been just trying to get a BREATH! Columbus was hot, and very humid (just like I remembered! Don’t change a thing, baby, I love you just the way you are!) with a heat index of 108. My breathing was pretty sucky…
