  • Back From The Beach

    Not only back from 2 ½ weeks at the Beach, but back from a weekend in Pullman (visiting our daughter Sasha – and bringing her cat Samson, who had spent the summer at our house, back to her).  Lots of… Continue reading

  • A Summer Q’mitl

    It is dreary and rainy and cold today.  And I quite truly and genuinely wish I could wave a magic wand (or an enchanted knitting needle, perhaps?) over the pile of fabulous blue-ish and purple-y yarns on my desk and… Continue reading
