Not having moved in 17 years, I have lots & lot & lots of long since forgotten stuff tucked away here & there. The junk has been pitched, good things we just don’t use anymore are off to Goodwill, but I just can’t part with these little treasures from my childhood:

How odd it is to find myself not cooking the night before Thanksgiving!
With packing for the move well under way there are not enough unpacked dishes in which to cook, not enough remaining dishes to serve and no where to sit and eat since the dining room has been converted to a packing station. My [...]

Well, super sophisticated big city CAP really is an expert in posh! (All of those years [...]

This song has been STUCK in my head…

On Friday we began to update FS’ room. Out was the fabulous handmade loft bed & his (nee my childhood) desk, other furniture & good stuff was moved out or to the middle of the room & we began the de-camouflaging.

Oh, geez, am I tired! Belaying is wearing me down. And my hands hurt, but I shouldn’t complain b/c FS’ hands look like this:
I thought belaying and driving were the archenemies of knitting…then He bought Sims3 for me.
Sims3 is not just incompatible with knitting - it is also incompatible with sleep. Any sleep. The night [...]
