I got the units both finished, with drawers and clothes racks, at aroundd 3:30. I put as much clothing as I could in Gerry’s, and started on mine, but just became so tired around 5:00 that I had to stop. Downstairs for a little TV (Cider House Rules was on – what a lovely movie!)…

I just got the final proofs for the Flip Knits in the mail – they’d been mis-sent to my old address so it took an extra two weeks to get them. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! They’re SO much nicer than the original proofs (the ones I took to TNNA, which weren’t bad – but these are…

After 22″ of snow in the past few days, the roads are a lot better than I would have thought. They REALLY do know how to deal with the white stuff up here in the Great Frozen North! I’ve done a lot of shoveling and digging the car out, but when we looked out the…

Max was the last to arrive home on this snowy day, and now we’re all in for the evening. We’re taking bets on whether there will be school tomorrow (after school stuff was canceled today) but either way I have a doctor appt tomorrow at 10:00 and I’m going to make it.And we miss Butkis…

… is that one has a 24-hour community with whom to share pain and joy. Last night was hard. Gerry was up a lot (Butkis was his cat) with Gigi, both of them mourning. Last evening Max told us that it was his school’s open house (we’d missed the flyer about it) and Gerry thought…

It’s been a very painful few days. The Good NewsOn the good side, life is going very well for both kids, they really like their schools and like the other kids. They’re making friends and are settling in wonderfully. Once we get Max’s bed built he’ll be feeling a bit more settled himself. I had…

Thank heavens for our neighbors. We couldn’t get our snowplow started this morning – heaven knows I tried (I felt like I was going to black out at one point – lots of pulling, pulling, pulling on that damned cord…) So we walked down our neighbors freshly plowed sidewalk and asked them if we could…

It was rough getting up at 4:00 for my flight – as a matter of fact I kept waking up every 40 minutes or so because I was afraid I’d oversleep. When I got to the airport the line was INSANE to go through security – I’ve never seen such a long line. It’s the…

Can I pick ’em, or can I pick ’em? Last week about this time we were heaving a sign of relief that we got through the Pennsylvania Nor’easter in one piece (in two cars) Today as I sat watching the weather channel it dawned on me that the two places where I need to land,…

I spent almost all of yesterday on planes – flying from a mid-sized city to another mid-sized city means changing planes, and mine happened to change in Chicago (where wind conditions made both flights late), which made for a longer day. Add to that: a lack of shoes for my class (I asked a VERY…
