Did you participate in Earth Hour? I sort of did. I was late getting my lights off but I did turn off all the electric lights in my house. I wondered if my neighbors would be doing the same. When I looked out, it didn’t appear that they were, except for the people in the [...]

Eek! I’m getting deadlines.

In addition to the shower for the Youth Pastor’s wife’s baby gift, I now have another knitting deadline. I was invited to a shower on May 3 for another one of our prospective new mothers. Her baby is due in June and I’ve been working on the top down raglan sweater in a brightly colored [...]

Tuesday finds a group of knitters meeting at our local Borders for a couple of hours of fun and fellowship. I started a new baby present today. I learned Sunday that there will be a shower for our Youth Pastor’s wife on April 12 and after some thought, I decided to knit a couple of [...]
Unanswerable question

How do people know I’m in the bathroom and time their calls for that exact time? More often than not, when my phone rings, that’s where I am. It happens so often, I would think they had spies out to tell them. Sometimes I can finish up and make a mad dash for the phone [...]
Easter Bunny looking for floating baskets

The Easter Bunny is looking for floating baskets to deliver in this area. Although the flooding isn’t as bad as it could have been — no deaths in this area, a new levee held in the town north of here, sandbags protected businesses in our Old Towne section — we have lots of water and the [...]
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it …

While I was out and about today, I tuned into a portion of a broadcast on NPR in which they were discussing the wearing of hats. The commentator kept asking folks if they’d be wearing a hat to church on Sunday … an Easter hat if you will. His guest said if you wanted to [...]
Not your normal Tuesday

Today got a rather rough start. I woke in the wee hours with pain in my stomach. Not the usual kind of upset tummy pain but more like a Charley Horse in my stomach if you can imagine that. The pain eased a bit after I ate breakfast but the pain did not go away.
I [...]
Being grateful

There’s no time like the present to be grateful for something. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra has a program where they give away 50 free tickets to their orchestral concerts. As part of the program, you must sign up and get a punch card which will allow you to attend six concerts for free. What [...]
Knitting at Barnes & Noble

I’ve been the knitting instructor at two local Michaels stores for almost three years. Michaels, in its corporate wisdom, has elected to discontinue all classes except the Wilton cake decorating ones effective March 31. However, one of the stores where I’ve been teaching removed all the sign-in sheets from the registration book — over my [...]
It’s all over but the shouting

The bathroom renovations are over, thank heavens! I don’t think I could take another day of Handyman being in my house. I can’t afford to have him here any more! He still needs to come back and replace some dropped ceiling tiles in the family room which were damaged when water got on them. He [...]
