Sunny Day

Today it was beautiful. No fog (or as it is referred to her in SoCal -- June gloom). Over 50,000 hearty souls ran the LA marathon. The morning weather was really nice for the start of the race -- in the mid 50's. For the fourth year running there ...
Sunshine and Loss
posted over 3 years ago | 0 comments
I think that sunshine makes a loss easier to get through. Monday turned out sunny and warm. The fire truck came. The church was overflowing. Cindy would have loved it all. One of her best friends wasn't there because she couldn't face the day. Leo...

Today is gray and rainy! Mind you I am not complaining. I am going to make a quick trip to the grocery store to do weekly shopping and then settle in. Tomorrow will be a sad day with Cindy's funeral.

Knit round and round. I spent the day knitting a stocking cap in a wild two tone pink faux fur yarn. The LA chapter of the Susan G Koman foundation is collecting knit articles for an auction with their upcoming walk/fund raiser. I wasn't going to ...

Well today, I am trying to use the Beta version of Eons (soon to be the real version). Up front I am going to say that I HATE change. That out of the way, it is not too bad. I do like some of the functionality that was missing from the original eo...

I finally took a deep breath and dyed fabric. The top left two pieces were actually done early last spring. A local quilt shop offers classes in learning to dye fabric using the newer procion dyes. Doing those two pieces was quite traumatic. While...
Reverse Effect

Hmmmmm.......I wonder if JT was using reverse psychology on the Boomers or perhaps a little back door marketing. The no notice age change caused an uproar among those of us who had expressed our opinions for all to see. So when we found out we rai...

I have always thought that I missed most of the gossip at work. I was always the last to know about the things that were being talked about if they didn't pertain to work. Well, I guess that goes for eons as well. I wasn't aware that there was a b...

This is a virtue that I have to work on every day. It is so difficult. It is hard to remember that the shop belongs to the boss. I have to bite my tongue every day because it is very apparent that she has never taken any classes or workshops on ho...
