Except for the photo closest to the word “La”, all of these were taken from my room. Amazing, huh? The class today went really well. It’s funny how much I worry about these classes – well, perhaps not worry but how deep the concern runs until I get going and get a handle on what…

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!
Je suis arriveé!
En Francais, s’il vous plait! I know, I’m probably all screwed up. [Galic shrug] Eh… Everything went so smoothly yesterday that I felt as if I must be dreaming. Bags packed, able to log onto computer in the house and print out boarding pass, drive to the airport very quick (Thanks, Gayle!) and check in…
Day Zero, Day Plus One, etc., etc…
It’s done. Gerry’s at the top of the first hill in his roller coaster and is about to go shooting down into the valley. Right now his blood counts are good and his appetite is good. And – aside from the overwhelming odor of stale, rotton, vinegary creamed corn emanating from his body due to…
Second Honeymoon, (with Chemo…)
The past few weeks have been a very special time. Being able to be alone with Gerry – well, except for the doctors & nurses doing intimate things with G that I won’t even go into… – has been a tremendous experience. We’ve had such a good time, which isn’t how Cancer is supposed to…
Free Tix Anyone?
Here’s the thing – I have 5 tickets to the Prairie Home Companion show at the state fair for this Friday, but we can’t use them. I got them LONG ago – I think in April – we thought it would be fun to have Gerry’s mom come out to MN for the State Fair…
Today Sucked. Yes, It did.
Tomorrow at 5:45 we have to be at the Mayo – he’s having his central line put in, so from now on no more needle sticks for his blood draws and for his chemo. He’s more upset about the early hour than he is scared about the procedure. Tomorrow has GOT to be better than…
In the Right Place
I am so happy. I feel so lucky – fortunate – blessed – whatever the word you want to use – that we ended up here for this period in our lives. So, whether my standing half-joke that my mother and brother were YELLING at me from the great beyond to MOVE YOUR FAMILY TO…
Wheat & Chaff
Harvesting in Minnesota – just in time for the Minnesota State Fair! We had a bunch of news today. All of the health related news was good, and all of the other type of news not so good. But not so bad, just not great. But news – good, bad or indifferent – can be…
Fourteen Years
Today is part one of the two day celebration that is our Wedding Anniversary. Gerry and I were married by a judge on Friday, Aug 20, 1993. Then on Saturday we had a larger ‘spiritual’, non-religious, ceremony for family and friends. Fourteen years today. The traditional gift for a 14th anniversary is ivory or an…
