My friends and I decided that we would like to all knit the same sweater. Each of us threw out ideas, we voted and the Briyoke Sweater by Matilda Kruse won. We were drawn to this pattern for several reasons. It was knit in fingering weight wool making it lightweight but warm and the yoke […]
Things are heating up here with the election and with Covid. Lots of campaign signs have been posted all over town but today I notice the first of this kind announcing where early voting will take place. Two more students at Memorial were positive bringing the count up to 19. Further, the principal’s email said […]
In case this equation does not make sense, the math goes like this: Covid cases at Memorial so far = 13 Covid cases at Signature so far = 1 Today’s cases at Memorial = 4 Today’s case at Signature = 1 Total cases at the boys’ high schools = 19 See? It makes perfect sense. […]
The conversation around the dinner table begins with two basic questions: First, as an homage to Sophia and her conversational practice, we ask everyone, “How was your day and what did you have for lunch?” This question is charming because when she asks, she adjusts the meal depending on what time of the day she […]
Last night around dinnertime we received an email from Mason’s principal. “Within the last eight days, we have five students and one athletic coach (two cases were reported this weekend) who have tested positive for COVID-19. The VCHD (Vanderburgh County Health Department) has provided guidelines and instruction on how to navigate the identification of close […]

We ordered edamame, fried calamari, vegetable tempura and a variety of rolls: Spicy Girl, Pink Lady, Baked Winter Roll, Cherry Blossom, Crazy Flying Dragon, and Lee’s Special Roll. […]
At 5:30 am the parking lot of the Orthopedic Hospital was empty. It was so empty that I wondered if we were in the right place. However, despite the open lot, the staff was there to greet us for our Covid-19 screening before admitting Bill for his knee surgery. Bill kept this procedure on the […]
For many, many moons I have had a handful of lingerie bags sitting next to my sewing machine. They were all in need of some small repair. Zippers had broken and seams had come unsewn. The bags were otherwise in fine shape and I didn’t want to just discard them. I wasn’t quite sure how […]
