Just so you know, I went ahead and walked that dog yesterday morning. I did not wait for the rain to let up or for the sun to rise or for anything to change. We hit the dark cold rain and embraced it. We put my new resolve into practice—we greeted whatever the day has [...]

Do I have to walk that dog in this crappy rain? I think that I do not. I think it will be okay if I wait until this afternoon to walk him in this afternoon’s rain.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me lately. I delete a lot of words. Yesterday I wrote an entire blog post, then I posted it, then I went back and deleted it. You probably thought I didn’t write anything. But I did. I thought it was boring. I didn’t enjoy re-reading it to myself. I [...]

Holy cow, can we paint. I swear, Reader, the kitchen on that farm looks like a whole new room.
Sometimes painting is simply an excuse to rid the wall of the jello-mold museum. You know the jello molds I’m talking about—the ones shaped like fish. And the plastic turkey platter that hung above that stove since [...]

So, we’re making some waves in Irvine, Kentucky. Those old boys at dawn at the Lunch Box couldn’t leave us alone…you know how it is when there are two new women in a roomful of small-town old timers. They asked enough questions to figure out what we do for a living, and that sent ripples [...]

Updates:
Karen called to say our stone was being delivered to her studio yesterday. I’ll get over there very soon.
Did I tell you that my friend Alex (with dementia) was moved to his hometown of Washington, PA to be nearer his brother and his brother’s family? Yes, Alex is no longer brightening our town or punctuating [...]
Smells Like Pine Sol and Pie

We’ll have a house full of people for a few hours tonight, Reader, and you know how I love that. Not. Well, I complain, but I usually have fun once the party starts. It’s not really a party. It’s a gathering. I’ll be baking a few blueberry pies at the last minute, Deb is in [...]
