Some would say I waste too much time with my journals but I love writing in them and I love being able to go back and look at them. The garden journal is probably the one I go back to most often - at least this time of year. For example, I think I always think my tomatoes are taking longer to ripen "this" year and I can go back to last year's journal and see when I got my first ripe tomato and ...
The Pallet Store
These stores seem to be everywhere and I don't know that any of them are really called "The Pallet Store" . . even ours isn't called that. Vince used to go there ALL the time and we've had several discussions about it --- mainly because he brings home things we don't need and don't have a place for and even though stuff there is $3 or $4 or $7, there's a limit! He probably hasn't been in 5 or 6 ...
Starlink ??
If any of you use Starlink for internet, and if you have a minute, would you let me know what you think about it? If you don't want to write it here, you can send me an email. Our internet has become awful. Yes, we CAN live without internet but in the last six months, there's hardly a week that goes by that it doesn't go off and stay off for 6+ hours. Because we living in a valley, we have no ...

I saved the grass to stitch during Zoom meetings and at our monthly sit and stitch at the local shop. This past Saturday was our meeting and my friend, Debbie, was sitting next to me and I think I talked more than I stitched. Poor Debbie . . she would probably get a lot more ...
More Stitching Time
My finger was doing so well. It looked totally healed a few days ago. A few times I bumped it and held my breath waiting for the pain and it didn't even hurt. Friday evening it started feeling different. I kinda expected I would lose that nail and I figured it was starting to "let go" and that's why it was feeling bad. Saturday it was red and swollen. Sunday it didn't look any better and, sorry to ...
A New Stitching Stand
If you're a cross stitcher, then you surely know Vonna Pfeiffer. Back in April, I watched this video by Vonna about a new stitching frame that a friend's husband had made and incorporated all of Vonna's requests for the perfect stitching stand. I had Vince watch it with me and he agreed that it seemed to be a well made, well designed stand. I ended up ordering it and it arrived Friday. I had a ...
