  "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." I strive to be the same real person in my interactions with everyone.  And I think I do.  And I think that is good.  Still, I think it is also true that a friendship really does become a world of its own, where you become more of yourself and create a special combined entity with your friend that can never be completely shared with anyone else.   I remain ever grateful to all of you - far and near - who have melded their ..read more

 November ~  The Tea Planter's Wife - Dinah Jefferies.  I almost put this one down.  Something I have a history of NEVER doing, but lately have decided that if it's not worth my time - it is not worth my time!!  However, it was mildly diverting in a Harlequin Romance sort of way, though I think some of those are better written.  Sorry, but MEH. Clock Dance - Anne Tyler.  Willa, 61, gets a phone call that her son's ex-girlfriend needs help taking care of her child (no relation to Willa's son) due to a hospitalization following an accident.  Against everyt ..read more

Holidays are so very special when shared with dear ones.  Over the past few weeks I was blessed to experience multiple visits and festivities with those very special people in my life.  Thanks for sharing you with me - one and all!  These magical occasions are even more incredible when you are granted a view from the eyes of a child.  My dear Jam you are a joy and a blessing to all of us.  Your beautiful spirit, big heart, incredible memory, bright intellect, gigantic winsome smile and sheer enthusiasm for life brighten my every minute.

I have never known a sweeter soul than my dear Danita.  Seriously.  She is kind even when one could argue she shouldn't be!!!  But, no one has been a greater recipient of her gentle heart than me and mine.  She was a fabulous nurse to work with as no job was too hard, too menial or too time consuming.  As a friend she is ALWAYS there - a compassionate, caring soul who is forever in my corner.  I treasure the many serious and laughter filled talks we have shared.  The many covert texts over lunches!!!  Just thinking of her laugh makes me smile as I write ..read more

You probably remember my dear bestie, Tammy!  She is one of the best nurses I have ever known.  She has stuck by me through thick and thin - work and play - sickness and health.  Her generosity and kindness combined with her wit and love are nothing short of amazing.  Her potty pics brought me laughs when struggling through crazy melanoma treatments.  She's wonderful!!! On top of all of that, she is a self made woman who has seen her own way through all manner of things including home ownership!!!!  Bottom line, she was well overdue for her very own quilt!  ..read more

The Jammer has grown so much and is such a blessing to our lives.  He is such a joyous loving soul.  But the busy lil man needed some new togs for fall and winter, so Les les had to get busy! I started with these little pants from a bizarre print a neighbor had pawned off and some nice stretchy denim that had unfortunately faded when stored.  Still they worked out well for wearable toils!  The pattern is Simplicity S9023.  While the pattern does not call for elastic at the ankle, I added it to be able to provide extra length without Lil Man tripping over it. Three ..read more

September ~   Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver.  Very well written and brave story telling to show a sad but very real - esp in my neck of the woods - (though likely across this land) and honest telling of the drug abuse that is rampant.  Thanks to the desperation in human's lives, the Sackler family, Big Pharma, and hospitals/medical corporations/providers/JCAH who were all so complicit in accepting the pharmaceutical companies' insistence that we were not following and addressing our patients' pain adequately and appropriately.  The pain scales that were adopted ..read more

Ocean waves and true love ~

Life is like the ocean's waves.  Beautiful. Dangerous.  Sparkling.  Mysterious.  Far larger and deeper than any part we may play or space we can really comprehend.  As likely to rock you gently in her cerulean arms as to cast you onto rocky shores.  Our joys and sorrows wax and wane much like the tide.  Yet, despite the complicated and meandering currents of life, I have been blessed with a constant beacon.  Love from the kindest, most generous soul has kept me strong when I was weak.  Brought me smiles when I was sad.  Shared my joys and lift ..read more

April:   Prodigal Summer - Barbara Kingsolver.  Strong women with personal quirks, environmental preservation, the fleeting nature of love and the unpredictability of ones future are classic Kingsolver themes told in her amazing voice.  Not Poisonwood Bible, but a worthy read with memorable characters.   May: Unsheltered - Barbara Kingsolver.  Loved this one!  Two stories running parallel about two women I could admire and identify with.   The Marriage Portrait - Maggie O'Farrell.  Engaging story of Renaissance Italy in the ..read more
