The Singer Files

Since I’ve been gone for the last one or 11 days, I’ve written at least 3 blogs in my head.   And if you could read my mind, you’d have loved them all. But I digress. Let’s talk briefly about how I purchased a Singer sewing machine on Craiglist today.   In fact, instead of talking about [...]

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

My grandma turned eighty something or other on March 4.   And per my usual prompt self, I’m a day late (and a dollar short! as my grandma would say). So, happy birthday, Grandma O! I adore you.  And the hair you stopped dying when I was 11. I know you’ll never read this, since [...]

The Babysitting of L. And the Fire.

You cannot EVEN imagine my joy when I received three emails this week from friends asking me why I hadn’t posted in awhile.   I mean, for reals, peeps.  How much do I love you all, that you take the time to read about my crazy life. So here’s the piece I started writing over the [...]
