Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ Winston Churchill I missed last week's WFH post. Now that life is starting to take a new shape, we're getting busier again. I must admit we like the slower pace of life. I'm…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 16 and 17

Working from Home: Week 15
Never, never, never give up. ~ Winston Churchill This is the first full week of June and yet this month seems almost over. Perhaps that's because I've adjusted to working from home and my ability to actually complete my to do list! It's fantastic being able to do some cooking while keeping up on my…Read more Working from Home: Week 15

Knitting not only relaxes me, it also brings a feeling of being at home. ~ Magdalena Neuner It's been awhile since I've posted about my various blanket clubs.

Working from Home: Week 14
Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. ~ Winston Churchill Wow, what a week!

Mini Malabrigo March Break
Knitting makes the good times better and the hard times easier. Normally, this would be a Malabrigo March update on my progress this past few weeks. While I do have a little progress to show, I've decided to hold off that update until next week. Partially because I had to stop to knit an LFC…Read more Mini Malabrigo March Break
Book Challenge: Guidebook to Murder
"And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby has always been one of my favorite books. I'm not sure if it's the glimpse into another time or the age when I first read it, but it's always held…Read more Book Challenge: Guidebook to Murder
Working from Home: Week 11
One always measures friendships by how they show in bad weather. ~ Winston Churchill Another week has passed. We are still in shelter in place or stay home, stay healthy. A few things have opened up for phase 1 of our safe start, but really not much will change before June and not even then…Read more Working from Home: Week 11

Life is a challenge, we must take it. ~ Mother Teresa Another week has gone by. We're still working from home and social distancing and wearing masks and gloves and quarantining items as needed.
