Christmas for crafters begins much earlier than Dec. 6th (St. Nicholas' Day). I looked back in my project notebook to see when I actually started this year's Christmas sweaters for the grandsons. I had neglected to even mention the project on the index page. On the actual project page, I see 11/20/2019 as the start… Continue reading Christmas 2019 – The year of the Ugly Fruitcake

Workbasket – Christmas Sweaters Done
Right up to the last day too! DW was at work, so I finally had time to work on his Christmas blanket. He'd mentioned that he would like a larger sofa blanket than the one previously. Because of the size of the blanket, I had to lay it out in the living room. The only… Continue reading Workbasket – Christmas Sweaters Done

After finishing the Carlton Wine Country 5K on… Continue reading A Wonderfully Long Holiday Weekend

With no set direction in mind we set off, turning here and there as we came to an intersection, enticed by interesting looking historic homes. For fear of another graceless fall, I hadn't brought my camera phone. The… Continue reading Laguna Seca -Day #8
Laguna Seca – Day #7
This morning, during the morning run, I did a gravity check again. As before it was because I was distracted and not watching where I was going. I was trying to look down a side road to see the front of an interesting looking building. As I gave a running step off the curb, my left… Continue reading Laguna Seca – Day #7
