I just finished hanging the sun-catchers and they look great. I put them on the landing in front of a wide window that faces west, instead of in the kitchen over the sink, facing north. I used the same expandable spring-loaded curtain rod which Nadav had adjusted to the landing window. Long ago, in the late summer, I spray painted the curtain ( Read more... )

I did make the meatballs in "enhanced" tomato sauce. It took hours of work, but it's worth it to have 4 quarts of delicious (I sampled) meatballs and sauce ready ( Read more... )

I went to pottery on Thursday morning. One of my classmates told me that she saw some terra cotta plates on the bisque shelf that I had apparently made last December and forgotten about. That was a nice bonus. I wasn't ready to focus on glazing so I wedged clay and made three small dishes. Toward the end of the session, I showed Anita the books ( Read more... )

I was watching NCIS when the show shut down. There was a message that said my ad-blocker software was responsible. Why is that suddenly an issue. It happened yesterday while I was watching A Gifted Man. Is this a conspiracy by CBS to make me abandon videos altogether? It sure is irritating. I wonder if it is the same on N's computer.

It has been a very busy week since my last post. This is the outline. Friday night was the informal get-together, the first part of the Hillhouse Class of 1961 reunion. Amitai arrived to visit while he attended his 20th reunion. Saturday afternoon I went to the memorial service for Maureen's husband. On the way home I stopped at Kohl's and ( Read more... )

Today I had a pottery class that started at 9:00. I awoke in time to get ready and go, but I was sleepy so I dawdled and didn't get there until 11:00. Fortunately, my class is followed by an open studio so I just continued working. I trimmed the things I had already made. I was going to have them bisqued before glazing them, but Rosemary ( Read more... )

I watched NCIS and NCIS-LA. Meanwhile, Irearranged my closet, filled my pill boxes, and went through the pile of newspapers, clipping puzzles, humor, and coupons. I also took down and sorted the laundry.

Now I will break down some boxes and finish straightening my room.

After I decided that I wouldn't do anything today, I got busy making a list. Then I had to eat so here I am with nothing done and it's after 4:00 pm. I did talk to Tammy and catch up with everything. That took about an hour--well worth it.

It's raining and gray outside. I've decided to spend the day doing nothing ( Read more... )

I haven't done much today. After I wrote in LJ, I played last night's show of Castle while I got dressed. I proceeded to pack up another box of Ahud's papers, which took a while ( Read more... )
