My friends are great. They just roll with it when I text them random questions, such as this: "Are grapes berries?" I asked a friend this question on Tuesday. Her initial response was, "I wouldn't consider them berries", and so I declared them to be 'fruit, en masse'. When we got together on Wednesday (not … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 24, 2019

Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019
This week was non-stop. Even on my day off, I didn't get more than a few minutes to sit down until I headed to dinner with friends. The reason I was so busy was that I spent the morning photographing one of the used bookshops downtown. They want to update their website, which includes updating … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019
I took a break from my normal Sunday Sum-Up routine last week. My computer was misbehaving, and I wasn't feeling particularly well. Nothing serious for either me or the computer, fortunately. I had a bit of a sore throat and a cough that for some reason reminded me of Jane Bennett but without the ability … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019

Spring is in the air! Green grass has begun to appear, the trees are starting to bud, and the first of the tulips and daffodils are blooming. The floodwaters are receding, too, though we keep getting rain so they might not be gone for long. I've been a little tired this week since a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/07/2019

Things are starting to dry out around here. Starting to, mind you. Only starting. The floodwaters have yet to fully recede, and we could be in for more problems, as at some point the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will have to release a lot of water from the Gavins Point Dam on the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/31/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 03/24/2019
The flood waters have begun receding, and things are largely back to normal for the people in my community. We were under mandatory water restrictions from Sunday night until Wednesday night. Businesses were to cut down on their water usage by 25%, and residences were to cut down their usage by 50%. Because I live … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/24/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 03/10/2019
As far as snowy and rainy birthday weeks go, this was a pretty good one. I didn't really go out and do anything special, but a bunch of us did get together for pizza and cake, and I splurged a little and bought some books. Which books, you ask? The Priory of the Orange Tree … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/10/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 03/03/2019
I always find it strange when, on the first day of March, people complain that it is still cold and snowy, as though nature cares what day it is on a human calendar. Yes, I understand that February was colder and snowier than average, but the first day of spring is still three weeks away, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 03/03/2019
Sunday Sum Up, 02/24/2019
So we had a blizzard yesterday. One of those slow-clotted storms with high winds that fling ice at your face at high speed if you make the mistake of wandering outside. I'm not sure yet how much snow we ended up getting. It might not have been more than six inches, but with 45mph … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 02/24/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 02/10/2019
I don't know where this week went. I remember it was cold and windy, and it snowed for two days straight, but otherwise? No clue. It went into the file of 'lost weeks', I suppose. And yet, for all that, I got a lot of reading and whatnot done. I did a bit of baking, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 02/10/2019
