Shopping for clothes has been a real frustration for me. I’m a larger size and it seems most stores believe that all people my size want to wear are pants. That’s not true! In fact, I don’t wear pants or slacks at all … ever. I wear skirts and dresses.
Because I haven’t been able to [...]

Last night was one of the summer concerts performed by the Compton Heights Concert Band in Tower Grove Park. As is their custom, they had a guest soloist perform with them. This guest was a trumpeter … who was 8 years old! He’s been playing the trumpet since he was 4!
This kid has a great [...]
The Man With The Asbestos Mouth

I had a coupon for a free Torpedo sandwich at Quizno’s sandwich shop. So after knitting group the other day, I went to the neighborhood Quizno’s for lunch.
After I got my meal, I took a seat at a table near the front window but sat looking into the restaurant. In a little while a man [...]
Remembering Tang

With all the focus on the moon landing in recent days, I’m surprised no one has brought up the products which were developed for use by the astronauts. I know there was a freeze-dried ice cream. I never tried that. But the most commercial product, I think, was Tang. Do you remember this?
I have a [...]
Feeling Grouchy

I’m feeling grouchy so maybe you don’t want to read this post … fair warning!
I’ve not felt well for about 10 days so yesterday I went to see my doctor. My appointment was at 1:30 p.m. When I got there, I was told he was seeing a patient at the hospital and should be back [...]
Another Mini-Vacation
Posted in holidays on July 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday I had another mini-vacation. This one really was a mini; it lasted just about an hour or maybe a little more but it was enjoyable even so.
I saw in the newspaper that there was a display of artifacts from the Titanic on display at one of the shopping malls in the area. This is [...]
Buttons

I have a denim skirt which has a button on it that I think is fairly common on denim items. It’s a metal circle with a bar across it. To sew it on, you stitch over that bar.
Sad to say, I’ve lost several of the buttons from my skirt. It’s been held closed with safety [...]
Some questions
Posted in Uncategorized on July 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve got some questions. Why do you read blogs? What makes a blog appealing to you? Do you leave comments on the blogs you read?
I have a list of blogs I read almost every day. I’ve noticed that some writers have stopped posting to their blogs. I miss them. [...]
Stepping Out

We’re stepping out today … me and House Sweater. Charlotte still must sew my cute green heart buttons on me which she promised to do this morning. This afternoon she’s taking House Sweater and me, Purple Baby Sweater, to the Knitters’ Guild meeting to participate in something called Show and Share. I do hope that doesn’t [...]
Refreshing Summer Beverages
Posted in food on July 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The heat has returned after a delightful 10 days of cooler weather. With the heat, my thoughts have turned to summer beverages. Which ones are refreshing? Which ones quench thirst and which leave you longing for more?
I think, hands down, my favorite summer (really, all year long) beverage is iced tea. I drink it without [...]
