Yay, no surgery!
I do not need surgery! (Well, except for next week's oral surgery.). the doctor was pleased with my progress--she said that I have gone from looking like I'd need immediate emergency surgery to looking like I might recover without it. Five weeks of doing very little have paid off. I am to continue what I am doing and if all goes well, I'll start ( Read more... ) -
Water, water everywhere...inside !?@#!
This afternoon, Gerry, Kira and David went out. I stayed home trying to recover from a bad cold. After a while, I came downstairs and saw Rennie (our long-haired cat) sitting in the addition on a dry patch surrounded by water. Merlin, the Siamese, was trying to figure out how to cross the chasm of water to get back into the dining room ( Read more... ) -
In LA
David and I are now in LA. We flew out from Boston yesterday morning, sat on the LAX tarmac for about 45 minutes until a gate opened up (flight delays due to storms in the east kept the outbound planes at the gates until they got clearance), experienced the "joys" of a shared van ride to our hotel-- it took us 3.5 hours from the time we landed to ( Read more... ) -

Moore, the author of "The Night Before Christmas". The area is also known for being the settings for the stories "Rip Van Winkel" and "Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman ( Read more... ) -
100 Things of Mine.014
There is something so civilizing about sitting down to a good cup of tea. One of things that like I like about living here is that one of my neighbors will occasionally invite herself over for a cup of tea and I do the same, heading over to her house when I need a break ( Read more... ) -
I've been ponified!
Happy Mother's Day to all who are mothers or have had mothers. :)
It's been a lovely day here and sort of a four-fold celebration: mother's day to me and my mom, my dad's birthday and Gerry's graduation (he just got his master's degree). Laura wrote me a lovely note and we chatted via Skype, we ordered dinner in and Kira drew me this:

Review of Four Movies
Usually, I wind up only seeing the movies that my kids want to go see and since they are into animation and CGI, that means, I usually only go to see children's films. I've started breaking out of that pattern, but maybe not for better.
John Carter - I didn't expect much from this one, BUT I still had to go see it. Why? Because when I was about ( Read more... )
