Thoughts

The new migration from blogger is more confusing than necessary - tried it and can't figure it out

I love my dishwasher - dishes actually CLEAN!

Upgrade your computer - mess up the ability to download books to your mp3 player - need help!!
Tomorrow I visit the library.

Allergies are the pits - eyes swollen AGAIN - so tired - trying to keep my eyes open wide enough to see everything is stressful

Planned to be in NJ shopping at Waterford and Lennox. Rain cancelled plans - better to be safe

Cell phones lost and found

Collections.....

Pleasures and Sadness

Pleasures

Grandchildrens buddy birthdays! JE is 6 and CH is 2!

Replacing a dishwasher - no more crud!!

A happy birthday to my little sister


Sadness

Virus setting low our Pittsburgh family

Passing of a friend, my first knitting teacher. She taught me a lifelong craft - a joy to be savored for the rest of my life, and introduced me to 'knitters'. These caring, knowledgable people are everywhere, and always willing to teach and share. While P was on a 'sabatical' I taught her knitting/crochet class at adult ed for two semesters until she returned. It got my foot in the door and enabled me to meet the correct people and I now teach basic and advanced machine sewing in the same school district. Thank you, P. RIP
