Something weird this way came. I don’t know what was going on, but for some reason, my blog was going silly. But I’ve been here, and I’m still here. I haven’t had much to say, and clearly nothing at all that’s interesting, but I hope I’ve fixed whatever was weird. You know, in case you’ve...

She does beauteous things with paper and ink, and makes such adorable knitted and crocheted (does that word look bizarre to anyone else?) items. My favorite is the froggy hat. In lime...

She took my cell phone** which she used frequently, and her copy of Les Miserables, which she looked at for possibly 2 pages. She rode hours on... |
