… we last left our Gerry at the hospital, waiting for his colonoscopy. Well, apparently a tube in the nose and keeping him overnight STILL wasn’t enough to – ahem – clean him out sufficiently. So they kept him the rest of the day and gave him ANOTHER 4 liters of the tasty, refreshing golitely….

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!
Home Alone
Gerry’s not home tonight and I miss him. This is unusual, I’m the traveler – he’s the stay at homer (at least he has been the past few years) so it’s really odd for the kids and me to be here without him. He’s at the hospital. He went to get a colonoscopy – it’s…
The Last Picture Show
We’re finding in this voyage through cancer that one of the tricks seems to be retaining our sense of family – of doing the stuff that we like to do together. We like to go out to a cheap dive-esque type of establishment every now and then, it’s fun for the kids and a chance…
Like the Wind
I just had the best 15 minutes I’ve had in a long time. Max and I rode our bikes over to a birthday party (after picking up a really cool gift around the corner at Creative Kidstuff) and the ride back, especially, was like a flashback to 1991. I love my bike. I’ll love it…
The Atom Ate My RSS Site Feed
So I’ve changed over to Atom. Caving, that’s what it is. If you’ve been having a hard time getting the site feeds for my blog, especially if you’re on bloglines, let me know if it’s any better now. If not, I’ll return to the old setup (I’ll probably screw everyone up, now – why did…
Home and Healing
It’s so odd to be back here in the Toledo area. I actually didn’t drive in to Toledo – I drove to Temperance / Lambertville, to Vintage Yarns (a WONDERFUL yarn shop with a great selection and SO many beads! I love beads…) I almost stopped a few doors down to get a pedicure, but…
Home (& Gone Tomorrow)
I’m back in St. Paul (what a beautiful sight that is, coming into the city from the east on 94 in the evening!) and I have about 9 hours to do some laundry, get some rest, then fly out to Detroit tomorrow. On Wisconsin!I had the BEST time at the Midwest Masters in Neenah! Barb…
Beautiful Things
The pot Hannah made me at school The Wisconsin Landscape (I got a little lost today…) The view from my hotel room of Nenah, WI The view inside my hotel room of my BIG NIGHT! I’m in Neenah, I’ve had TWO beers and a chicken sandwich, and I’m going to knit myself into oblivion. Life…
A Day of Frustrations, a Weekend of Fun
Frustration #1I failed the Minnesota Written Driving Test I can retake it tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day – and I’ll sleep with the exam booklet. When I told Gerry I failed we had this little exchange: G – I’ve never failed a test. A – Shut up. G – Not a written driving test, at…
Long Distance Lovin'
Remember this yarn I bought in Buffalo when I was staying with my friend, Jill? The colorful ribbon that will be featured in Romantic Hand Knits (Potter Craft – out this August)? Well, the most wonderful Jill sent me a very special gift – something I will love and use – TEA!! And a TEA…
