Our Sunday started with Mass in the living room. While I would not knit at Mass in church, I have been since we started playing the home game. My body assumes a knitting posture when I sit in a chair in front of the TV. I am justifying my actions by working only on charity […]
Today was a good Saturday. The boys slept in late and Bill and I were able to ease into our day with lovely quiet time. Bill tackled the mess of paint cans in the garage, purging the ones that were out of date. Walker went for a bicycle ride on the Evansville greenway. This evening […]
Today on my morning walk/run I spotted these beautiful flowers. Spring is in the air and nature is responding. After cleaning up and having breakfast, I ran to Schnucks and Starbucks and then directly to the food pantry to unload some contributions. When I got home, I found Mason had been recording. He’s in his […]
Today was truly a wonderful day! My social cup runneth over. It started with a knitting session with my local knitting peeps on Google Duo. Then I had an unexpected ninety (90!!!) minute call with Monique in which we talked about family stuff, current events, Covid-19 coping strategies, Gretchen Rubin and more. We ran out […]
Most of my knitting time has been spent on this sweater. It’s a pattern in testing stages and I’m modifying it with the designer’s help. There have been some challenges along the way and I am discovering that I tend to shy away from things that are hard for me to work through. See the […]
The pandemic had made deliveries more exciting than ever. Since we don’t curate our Misfits box, its arrival brings extra delight. Underneath these greens we found butternut squash, spaghetti squash, kabocha, green beans, curly kale, poblano peppers, zucchini, celery, onions, rutabaga, oranges, red delicious apples and D’Anjou pears. The mystery ingredient was the kabocha squash. […]
Today was the first time we have ventured out for a doctor’s appointment since Covid-19 started. A nurse greeted us in the foyer, gloved and masked, and then scanned our forehead with a no-touch thermometer. Before granting us entrance, we had to answer these questions: 1. Have you come into close contact (within 6 feet) […]
The internet has changed the way people connect. I have been watching one of my favorite knitting podcasters for several years so I feel like I know her. It’s kind of a one-sided relationship though because she can’t hear me when I talk to the screen. When I learned that she was celebrating her birthday […]
I got a lot of knitting done on my sweater today. More importantly, I tried on my sleeve and it fits properly. Our Misfits produce continues to provide joy. Today I prepared a delicious pot of curried collard greens which I served with a hardboiled egg and rice. I am celebrating the simple pleasures of […]
Today I really got to wake up and smell the coffee! I walked outside for an hour and even though I wanted to quit, I persevered. Overall, it was a mellow day in these parts. I knit with my local friends for the first time since the quarantine started. Using Google Duo, we were able […]
