so very long

I haven't posted in a very long time. I found my blog recently and spent hours reading some of the old posts and realized how very different life is now.

I don't have the kitties anymore.  That is a great sadness for me.  The lovely yellow fur baby went to a friend who found him a good home and my beloved furry black kitty I finally lost after 19 years.


I have traveled a lot since my last post.  I have been to Ireland, Turkey, Croatia and Bosnia. And we have been to my favorite place in the world Puerto Vallarta a couple times.  We have survived the pandemic and trying to find a way forward in life.  Life has had so many changes and the change seems to be ongoing whether we like it or not.  I thought it might be nice to come back to this blog and document things again.

During the pandemic, I did stay at home for a time and found lots of crafting, sewing, gardening, cooking time.  I did do the sourdough thing when we could not find yeast anywhere, and the bread came out pretty good!  I was very happy with it.  And then we couldn't find flour and that was the end of that.  Now we can find both but I am working full time again, and not really having the time to play with the sourdough anymore but stay tuned, I know I'll try again.  I really like baking.

I found lots of quilt squares my Mom had cut out in my fabric stash.  My sister gave me lots of her fabric after she passed away.  I decided to try to make a quilt that my Mom started and finished it during that fun "lockdown" time.  I have some pictures I will post later, but I am re-learning how to post this stuff again, it looks like I forgot how!

Voice of the Week: James Balog— "Chasing Ice"



this week it was pretty warm for us here in the PNW...it got into the 90's and we have become total heat wimps.  the last time it got really hot, unbearably so, I tried a psychological cooling down by watching the movie "the day after tomorrow".  it actually worked to some extent, so yesterday when it was so warm in the house, I found this documentary, "Chasing Ice".  it turned out to be an amazing movie, and quite an eye-opener.  the photography by the man behind it is quite beautiful too.  I recommend watching it if you can.  and it did help to make me feel cooler. :]
