Forgive my sporadic blogging. It is not for lack of thoughts but lack of alone time when I can gather them together in an organized fashion. Often they come to me as I am drifting between the waking and sleeping hours. This is our newest addition, Clover. She is pictured below next to my son’s […]

Yesterday’s post went straight to Yule and skipped over the big event this week. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and as always I am running around getting things ready today. It is a very small gathering this year, just three of us. My daughter has moved away to Georgia and so our gatherings grow smaller. I am […]
Change is hard, really hard but it seems things are finally different this holiday season. Yule has begun and I am enjoying this season more than ever. Apparently I had to groan and moan about it, fuss and cry and basically be all unpleasant over the past two years, before I could do what I […]
