The Rose of the Wind

Part of the joy of driving up to the Smokies is that the weather is generally a little more moderate—cooler and less humid—than the basin...

Quick hello and update before I head for the mountains. Not much going on; the most excitement I’ve had is getting a haircut. LOL. I’m...

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where the birdies is! They are outside tweeting like crazy right now. It’s a beautiful...

Blogging is not something you should feel you have to force yourself to do, really, I try to think of it as like writing a periodical...

Actually, I survived to get to the pen show. Aunt Peggy didn’t have a fever with her bout of illness, which was the main reason we...

So, like the song says, nothing ever goes as planned. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend run to Atlanta for the pen show, but a...

For not having blogged in a while, I mean; something other than 'knitting ate my brain' or 'I was binge reading fanfic'. Last week, my...

Drive-by to update. Things are going as well as can be expected. I ran around like a nut the rest of the week after mom passed, and on...

Wow. I just read the last update I posted. Last Saturday, wasn’t it? It feels like a year ago or more. I have to sit down and really...

Hello y’all. Things are—well, I hesitate to say improving, but sometimes, just having knowledge is an improvement over not having it. The...

Been a long past couple of weeks, so thought I’d catch up with a quick post. Mom is still in the hospital and not improving. Every time...

Holidays got me again. Hope you all have had a great December! The weather here in Tennessee on the whole has been pretty good; slightly...

The holiday season…it eats up so much time! Not that that’s a bad thing. It’s just so much stuff going on that wasn’t going on the rest...

Sorry it’s been a little while since my last post. Time sneaks away sometimes, especially when you are busy. I wasn’t concerned, until...

Making stuff! I love making stuff, as you know. This time of year, I’m gearing up to make ALL THE THINGS. With gifting holidays...

October! Time for fall, cool breezes, changing leaves, football, and pumpkin spicing all the things. Except around here where it’s still...

So I lied. LOL. I said Dragon Con stories this time. Maaaaybe not though. The joy of being able to leave the house when I want to never...

I was going to update a couple of days ago, but last time I didn’t mention that my right hand was giving me some grief. The night before...

I survived! Yes, I made it to Dragon Con and back in one piece. Didn’t have to break out my taser even once. Mom was good the whole time...
