Hello Everyone! Just in case you were wondering why there hasn’t been any updates, it’s because our internet is down at home. Not sure what is wrong. I’m at work (supposed to be training) so no new pics. Melanie is feeling better and has started work. Hmm, this writing in the blog is not as… Continue reading Our Internet Is Down!
I woke up feeling like crap… Runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat and it was my first day of school – yuck! I had to be at work at 1:30 even though my schedule said my first class wasn’t until 2:30 but I figured oh well, John must have something for me to do. He… Continue reading First day of school…
Well it’s been a busy couple of days around here so a slow Sunday night is very welcome. School on Thursday went well, the kids loved the fruit. I brought a few pieces to shake things up a bit. The orange puppets were a big hit. I taught two 20-minute classes of 34 seven-year olds.… Continue reading 10 Man March…

The tune is kind of a cross between an old Gameboy game and a funky synthesizer ditty my brother’s old Casio keyboard used to play. The Hauzen was a bargaining chip used in… Continue reading My daily dose of cultural musing…

I’m working on an Amy Butler pattern from In Stitches for a bedside organizer. Since Joe and I have the least amount of furniture allowable by law including no bedside tables we end up with a pile of items on the floor beside our bed. I bought In Stitches a few months ago and haven’t… Continue reading Bedside Manner
I am so overwhelmed by the wonderful comments and compliments from all of you on our blog. I have been trying to keep up with it and usually do save for a few days here and there. It may be a little harder when I actually start work, which is another story in itself, but… Continue reading A no frills kind of town…
Right now I am knitting this cute little number from Knitty. When I’m done with the headband I plan to make this. Pics on the projects later.
