I’m not a focused person. I start one project, get bored, then begin something else because it haunts my brain. So now I have several items in the works. I have finished a few things, but we’ll talk about those later. This is about works in progress. Even more so,…

Hello. My name is Gail, and I’m a knitter. I learned to knit at my mother’s knee, but stopped when I went off to college. I didn’t pick it up again until all my friends started having babies, over 10 years later. I made baby ponchos for them in various…

Continue reading →: Today’s Dishes (Take the Poll!)
When beginning to organize your home and life, The One Minute Organizer says to begin by dealing with “today’s mess,” i.e., today’s dishes, today’s laundry, and today’s mail.

Nowadays, it’s more annoying than debilitating, since I don’t have to work. Once in a while, though, sleepless is rewarded with something special. A couple nights ago,…

Romeo has arrived! I couldn’t wait any longer to bring him home. The first thing I asked as I walked into the shelter was if Romeo was still available. He was. When I said I wanted to adopt him, the gal at the desk gasped, “The 12-year-old?” I suppose they’re…

(A riff on Van Morrison—if your old enough to remember him, that is.) The kitty search saga hit another snag; another adoption attempt has failed. And I was this ->||<- close. The way these rescue groups act, you’d think I beat and starve my cats. A couple weeks ago, I…
