This is an update from an email I sent to family and friends yesterday. It has been almost a year since we lost our 18-year-old gray cat, Pushkin, and then last August our 12-year-old Bengal cat, Teasel. We decided to try being “cat-free” since it does simplify life, at least as far as taking both [...]

It’s been an upsetting couple of days around here, but all is well now. We went over to the coast for the weekend and as it turned out, our little Bengal cat, Teasel, got outside while we were packing the car etc. We didn’t find out until Saturday night when we checked our voice mail [...]

Well, we have moved ourselves and the cats to the new house, and have spent 2 nights there now. The cats were not amused but they seem to be doing better today. Today we are moving the office furniture and computer, and they are supposed to transfer our internet service tomorrow, but I expect to [...]
The Latest Twisp in our Fate

There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes activity around here the past month and a half. In early January we looked at a house for sale about 16 miles up valley from our present location, after hearing about it from some friends who live on the same road. To keep the story short, we immediately [...]

Juliet is making a child-size pullover for her friend’s son: Deb is making a cardigan version with contrasting seed stitch bands: Laurelle is making a [...]

Not fooling!

It is snowing here today. A fine thing for April Fool’s Day! The birds, many of whom have been returning the last couple of weeks, seem a little glum out at the feeder: It is continuing to snow, building up on the roof and covering the ground, but not sticking to the road. The temperature [...]

After having spent the last two days at the Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat in Tacoma, I am off to California for 3 days to visit and work with a friend who used to be at the University of Washington and is now at Cal State San Bernardino. So there won’t be any blogging for [...]

We started the day yesterday, like many people in our country and around the world, glued to the TV screen to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama. What a day! It certainly feels like this is a turning point in our nation’s history – I so hope this is born out in fact. But, it [...]
