Breaking 15,000! Okay, so it’s not earth shaking, but my Amazon Rating is now 14,101. I started below 36,000 a few months ago. It’s not as terrific as Stich & Bitch, but it’s better than a lot of books (14,100 to be exact…) and many of them are knitting books! Ah, it’s the small things…
Beautiful Weekend! Gerry was away this weekend, and we missed him – but the kids and I had a great weekend even though he wasn’t here to enjoy it with us! We went toWaterloo Village – an historic village in western New Jersey – and although we loved the buildings, the canal, the grounds and…
Gearing Up I’m getting myself prepared for the marathon that will be late October / early November. First I have Rhinebeck. I’m revamping the books I use for my classes (I always do corrections on them after a class when I realize that a certain point can be clarified, but this time I’m reworking them…
Biz Cards! I ordered some cards – I figured it was time to eschew the home printed on vellum ones I’d been using for a while. Here they are… Burn, baby, burn!
Grand Day! Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes for Hannah – and who encouraged me to take Maxie with us – what an AMAZING DAY we had! We walked to the train station so we wouldn’t have to deal with parking (and a possible ticket…) It was a lovely Autumn Day – cool and…
Morning Ritual Each morning I walk the kids to the bus after scooting them through their breakfast and shoe tying. This morning was so lovely – what a great Fall day! We usually get to the bus stop a few minutes before the bus arrives, enough time for the kids to drop their back packs…
In Memory James Charles Modesitt April 3 1959 – September 29, 2003 We love you and miss you, Jimmy! Burn, baby, burn!
All Clear! I hadn’t written about this because – well – there just has to be a limit at some point and I think I’ve passed it. Gerry had a colonoscopy yesterday – he’d been having some (how do I put this delicately…) bad symptoms that needed to be addressed. I had been gone so…
Knit ‘n’ Daven Yesterday was Yom Kippur – a double whammy as it was also Shabbat – which means the dance mix of services (very long, but with a good beat…) We don’t belong to a temple out here in NJ anymore – the one we belonged to didn’t seem able to accept the fact…
Crisp! There’s just enough of a slight chill in the air this morning to make me think that it’s not too long before the retreat in Vermont! The exact location is Waitsfield, VT – I’m SO looking forward to this! But before that I have to prepare (for): Hannah’s 8th birthday party next week (we’re…
