Mason got an early start out the door today for his 8:30 AM training at Holiday World. Walker was kind enough to drive him for me since I had an 8:50 AM dentist appointment that I didn’t want to miss. When the pandemic hit and the dentists’ offices closed, many appointments were cancelled. Unfortunately, Bill […]
I got an early start on the day because I had plans to meet a friend at 7:30 am for a little socially distant knitting. I love the Tuesday mornings when I wake up to my friend Cori’s podcast. Her episodes are just about an hour and she is full of great content and stories […]
It was nice to have a three day weekend. In some ways, it didn’t feel like a long weekend because everyone is home together so much of the time but since Bill has been working more again, it was a treat to have his company. The morning was delightful. I read my morning meditations and […]
Today was quite a mellow day but it was productive. We began the day prayerfully in the living room. While we attended virtual Mass, I knit a helical scrappy coffee cozy that I will gift to the baristas at Christmas. This technique of striping is magical and I never tire of it. It allows me […]
It’s all about the small details (like that little cozy I’m knitting) that make up a great day lately. Some of today’s highlights included good decaf coffee, a Zoom meeting with friends, texts with loved ones and friends, routines, and an evening walk with Bill. Bill took charge in the kitchen tonight. His next recipe […]
I caught this golden glow on the trees just before 6 am on my morning walk. It only lasted a few minutes but it warmed my heart. This morning I got a surprise text from my favorite barista, Jessica, that her son is being baptized on Monday. Owen was born here on May 8th but […]
Tonight would have been Mason’s graduation had we not been in a pandemic. To make the best of things, the school planned a drive-by parade to celebrate the students. We tried to make the best of things by creating a graduation celebration at home as well. The principal delivered streamers and markers to each family’s […]
I got up early and went for a brisk walk outside. I listened to my podcasts and said a morning rosary. Then I headed to Starbucks. I mobile ordered my coffee so I could avoid the long drive-thru line and when I picked it up, I was treated to a delightful surprise: nonfat foam! I […]
It’s Monday and we are settling into a new groove. The day started off with rain and thus I did an indoor workout on the Bow Flex. I find that my mental health is much improved when I get the endorphins going via exercise. I had a long list of things to do but that […]
I had the privilege of test sewing another Sew Sew Live pattern, this time the Chicken Boots Zip Double. It’s a roomy bag that keeps all the contents secure inside thanks to a zipper closure. There is an internal pocket faced with vinyl allowing for a peek-a-boo feature. The edges are finished with bias tape. […]
