Yesterday, the wonderful Kathy at cardiac rehab said to me Life is short when we were discussing my long-lived wish to live the rest of my short life near a beautiful body of water. Whenever somebody says Life is short I agree with that person, even though I’ve lived much longer than most people expected […]

Know who’s going to build the wall? All of us who heard the president-elect say he was going to round up deportees in a very nice, very humane way. Line forms to the extreme right.
I cannot believe what just happened, except that I think people really dislike Clinton and her husband. How little they care for themselves, as well.
Supreme Court and all three branches of government are now in Republican hands.
Stunning.
It is here again, that nanowrimo thang. I signed up this year, and announced, even wrote a couple of chapters. Already too much pressure.
Trying to develop this habit for an activity I once loved as a child and engaged in effortlessly. I promised myself I would write if I got old enough to have done something, been somewhere. Here I am.
Allegedly, I just have to write something, e’r’day. Doesn’t have to be long, or even make sense, only written.
So, here goes, though late, but whatchugondo?
Think I need to change the background to commemorate the moment.
Click the link for a clearly written, free pattern for an asymmetric shawl with an I-cord edging that is knit onto the shawl as you go.
Nifty technique. There is a link to learn grafting included in the pattern that will take you to videos that demonstrate the kitchener stitch using a tapestry needle. Look for the video that demonstrates knitted grafting technique. Another nifty technique to add to your Notions Kit.
We now know for a fact that the government of Russia and Vladimir Putin is blatantly interfering in this year’s presidential election, most notably by hacking into and strategically releasing the emails and computer files of Democratic organizations and campaign officials. There has been no equivalent targeting by Russia of Republican organizations or the Trump…

Parkinson’s disease is not easy to live with. It is a progressive disease that starts slowly with a minor tremor but over time it affects everything from your speech to your walk to your working abilities. It often goes unnoticed by family, friends, and even the person who has it. More than one million people in America are living with Parkinson’s disease which is more than a combined number of people diagnosed with multiple diseases. However, Parkinson’s disease itself is not fatal but complications from the disease are serious can be deadly.
While medical science is becoming advanced, there is still no cure revealed for Parkinson’s disease. However, there are many medications available to treat Parkinson’s but they have various side effects like involuntary movements, nausea, hyper sexuality, depression, sleeping disorder, and compulsive overeating. With medications, it…

The winds were high and apparently gentle, but the property-line tree fell on my home. Happy Earth Day! The tree was over 60′ tall by a ways. The utility pole stands that high and the tree towered over that, all five branch trunks growing from the main stem. Hard to believe the tree started from something like a weed, easily yanked out of the earth before it can grow into the heavy colossus guarding the property line.
When the branch cracked away from the central trunk, I was sitting under it in my bedroom. You know that sound you hear in films about the lumbering industry, hacking down the forest, shouting,”Timberrrrrr!” The tree cracks away from the base and the upper branches whoosh earthward through the air. I heard the crack, heard the whoosh, and was out of the room by the thud that signaled the trunk had come to rest on the roof and on the roofs of the next two houses. No damage to any roof but my own. Thank you, Mother Earth.
The ceiling was kept up by things sitting atop the closet. I can see daylight where the wall of the house buckled and burst at the seams from the weight of the limb that laid atop the roof for 3-4 days. The general contractor said the only reason the tree did not come into the room is because it was small. Saved by geometric configuration and physics.
The general contractor also said the house must be razed.
I await the adjuster/appraiser. Long wait in a precarious shelter. I refuse to go into my bedroom. Just moved to the living room, though it is somewhat dicey up here as the neighbor continues to host a colossus, some of its branches overhanging my property….
