Today was a productive day. I started with early morning prayer in bed and followed that with a good Zoom meeting of friends. I made bread and wrote at least twelve sunshine postcards. My sweater blocked out well and I exhaled a sigh of relief. I now have big yarn dreams and goals. I also […]
Today started off with a bang! I ran five miles for the first time in ages. The sun shone and the spring flowers were in bloom. Then I went to a meeting in Brooklyn, New York! Covid has given me to opportunity to Zoom with people I know from other parts of the country. Today […]
There is this funny thing that knitters do when they finish up a project. It’s the bathroom selfie and I find it to be highly unflattering. However, here I am trying to get an idea of the fit on the sweater I have been knitting since quarantine started. I’m smiling but inside I am crying. […]
My day started off great with a happy walk this morning. In the morning light I picked flowers. Some might call them weeds but isn’t it all just a matter of attitude? When I spied this beautiful sidewalk art, my heart felt light and joyful. While I don’t know these neighbors, Bill and I have […]
We had another exciting delivery today from Misfits. In times like these, these boxes offer such promise. They check all my boxes (no pun intended) with their element of surprise, their healthy contents and the trip they save me the trip to the grocery stores for fresh produce. The struggle of trying to find a […]
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 Bill tackled the mess of paint cans in the garage, purging the ones that were out of date.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 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 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 […]
