The sun is out today. The building holds the damp and cold, so I want the heating on. Outside in the sun, it is mild, a good day for walking in the park or, as “The Maverick” prefers, a bike ride. It feels warmer outside than it does inside, because the sun still gives …
On Thursday, (25th Oct.) I managed to complete the wedding pillow for “Floss & Harry’s” wedding. I was relieved and pleased that I’d finished over a week before the wedding. The week before a wedding is a hectic time for the two families involved. What I learned: The inner pillow is made of heavy-weight …
I was truly attempting to blog every day–so, I apologise for missing a day. This evening The Maverick was busy working on his bicycle with his best friend, Jon-David. So I was displaced from the lounge. And “Mr. Biz” is here for the night, as he occassionally stays with us when his chauffer work brings him up …
I’ve taken to carrying my camera with me on a regular basis. With the trees changing their wardrobe on a daily basis, having a daily recording of it is too much of a temptation. It’s a good thing I’m using the digitial and not the analog! The cost of film development would be exorbitant. 🙂 …

When an ocean or more separates one from his/her family, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by negative emotions when that one is too far away to help in times of need. Helplessness, frustration, guilt, and worry are gremlins that knock on the door of the soul. It takes this kind of situation …
On Monday, 1st October, wanting to make sure I had plenty of time to get my new glasses fitted and still have a casual walk to the Learning Centre, I went into town about an hour before my sewing class. The pick-up went smoothly and quickly, leaving me time to visit a few shops …
I was relieved on Monday when the overcast skies were rain free. For the previous three Mondays I’d trudged through town clad in my long, green raincoat, with my back-pack weighted with paraphernalia for my sewing class. Sweat made me damp inside my coat while the rain wetted the outside of the coat. So though …
