Genius Loci
I’ve always known our house and yard had its own special spirit. We’re only the second set of folks to live here, you know. The man who built this place in 1940 and the family he raised here with his wife were the folks we bought it from. At 97, Mrs. Kochaver could no longer [...]
I’m Stunned
Once again, I’m shaking my head in disbelief. I never in a million years thought I would win a smackdown for tofu of all things, but here I am. Thanks to all the wonderful bloggers who participated. I got some great ideas from all of you and may actually be incorporating more tofu into my [...]
When Life Gives You Lemons…
…make lemon upside-down cake!! Oh yes. One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year was a lovely package of 13 amazing little orbs of sunshine, aka home-grown lemons, from the always-fabulous Roxy. They arrived a couple of days after Christmas and after simply eating one right out of the box, I’ve been trying to figure [...]
The Postcard
There’s a postcard hanging on my office wall. It’s matted and framed, one of my favorite pieces of artwork that came to me as a gift, sent from a friend who was living in England at the time. On the postcard is a woman. She is standing in an open landscape, perhaps on the moors [...]
Do You Doubt The Force?
This time of year is often one of memory, introspection and reflection. My head is always busy with the above, but recently more than usual, what with the seasonal dichotomy I always battle around the holidays. I play six degrees of separation in my mind a lot, one subject segueing into a completely opposite one [...]
Need A Wee Giftie? How About This?
Note: This post will remain as the top post for a while. For newer posts, please scroll down to read. Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our friend Monica ( mamorris@socolo.net ) came over yesterday to visit and brought with her some lovely things she’s been making and selling. I don’t ordinarily do this, but these are cool, environmentally [...]
A Little Weepy
I’m working today. I don’t mind; I’m here at home, warm (new furnace ROCKS), it’s a sunshiny day in Colorado and after I get off work, we’re going out to B and M’s to have a big, traditional TG dinner. B normally does not cook much, but TG is her thing and she does a [...]
All Kinds of Stuff
Lots going on around here these days. Right now it’s just before 6 a.m. and we’ve got a trip to Denver ahead of us. Good news–friend L has been out of the hospital for several days now with her daughter and goes back to the doc today to find out if she’s okay to fly [...]
Not Looking Good
Got a call from L’s daughter on Friday. She was admitted to the hospital in CA. Apparently lost approx. 2 L of blood. Very weak. G finally talked to her today, still inpatient. It’s evident she won’t be going anywhere for a while–if ever, which is G’s strong feeling. We have the dogs here, G [...]
Better And Not So Good
Things are better. Much better in fact. Some of the angst was not only related to the incident with the alcohol, but also to the occurrence of one of those times that just creep up on me occasionally. We’ve talked some, just enough to clear the air, not over processing as women/lesbians are so prone [...]
