This week is cruising along! Today, again, I’ve gotten so much accomplished. A trip to the post office was needed to mail out both jewelry and masks to buyers. I’ve made jewelry since 2009 and fabric face masks since – well, you know when, this April. In addition, I needed to mail thirty new pieces…
Today, on Poetry Friday, I want to celebrate the poet Jack Prelutsky. I own several of his holiday poem books, gifted to me by my mom who used them for years in her third grade classroom. Subsequently, I used them for years for my third grade writer’s circle. Jack Jack Prelutsky is an American born…
My husband and I have taken to sitting for half an hour in the room off of our kitchen in the morning while I have my tea. We catch up on news, share opinions, and sometimes outline the plan for the day. Today, we briefly touched on the depressing nature of the news and social…

Today we watched a fifth-grader who is the daughter of one of the people my husband used to work with at the hospital. Her mom had to work today, so we volunteered to watch her for the day. The visit started off by her being excitedly attacked by our Yellow Lab Puppy (she is now…
Last night, I was brainstorming some ways to get out of the house during this social distancing proclamation. Yesterday, my husband and I ran to the library and that was a good enough outing to not feel couped up by the time the day had ended. It occurred to me that we could go geocaching! …
This morning we cleaned, my son and I. We cleaned out his room and had much to enjoy! Who knew it would be so much fun? We laughed when we saw the dried-up tube of paint, its cap left slightly askew. I jumped when a plastic spider was found in a corner and sent my…
