We have been ordered to shelter in place for three weeks.My one niece goes to college in Monterey and has decided to just stay in her apartment for now even though school is online. My one sister…
Shit’s getting real…scary
Hi everyone. I hope that this finds you all hanging on safely. This is spiraling fast. We have not left the house for three days except for me going to the grocery store for a few things at 10 pm this evening. This is the sight that greeted me in the bread and milk isles….
Escape from New York
Thank God he is home safely. He seems to be ok but I think a tiny bit freaked out. I must say it is wonderful to hug him and feed him all of his favorite things. He loved the door decoration for his new dorm. Today, of course, he is off to his ex-girlfriend to…
Twenty Four More hours
The boy will be home in 24 hours. He was supposed to arrive on Thursday night but his midterm for tomorrow was canceled and so I told him to get the heck out of dodge right away. The airlines can offer a full refund and they were able to rebook him on a flight tomorrow….

Let pretend…for 5 minutes.
We got together with these beautiful young people yesterday to pretend for five minutes that they are still our babies. We have not got it right every year but we do sometimes try to do a cookie decorating party so yesterday we did just that. It makes you feel nostalgic for simpler days. They actually…
Teal Feather’s Studio open for business but closed for Boy’s visit.
So I am sitting here proud to say that I have completed the build and organization. It was sort of therapeutic I guess as I have been feeling so angry lately and it is amazing that it survived the mallet in my hands. Well now it is all ready for use and it will be…
