Be the reason someone smiles today. It's been a bit since my last book challenge book. I'm a bit behind for completing 25 books this year, but I'm not worried. Setting a book challenge is about expanding my knowledge even if I only read two books really slowly. Okay, some books are bit more fluff…Read more Book Challenge: Vanishing Fleece
Have Tea Will Travel
Some adventures take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny. ~ C.S. Lewis One of the many things I missed during the lockdown, was the ability to just browse in a yarn store. Maybe I have a pattern I need yarn to create or maybe I just want to see what's…Read more Have Tea Will Travel
England Loses the 2020 Euro
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." ~ James Dean We all think we're going to live forever. We act as if we have all the time in the world.

"Your the mayor of shark city." ~ Jaws Last year, most of our celebrations involved supporting local businesses and social distancing.

You are so much sunshine in every square inch. ~ Walt Whitman Summertime in the Midwest always meant cook-outs, fresh pie, fireworks, lighting-bugs and toasted marshmallows.

Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57
When you're going through hell, keep going. ~ Winston Churchill It's been radio silent for a bit. Stuff has happened. I'm sure I did more then work, sleep, eat and take bathroom breaks.

Working From Home: Week 54
Be selective with your battles; sometimes peace is better than being right. Wow, what a week it has been. I'm still mostly working from home.

Getting Vaccinated: The First Dose
Science is magic that works. ~ Kurt Vonnegut This past week there was a federal mandate that all preschool through grade 12 educational employees qualify for COVID-19 vaccines.
