Monday Musings: Stuff and Nonsense

We added a wreath on the door to our Christmas decorations this year. We'd looked at some earlier, but anything that was more than a couple pine cones stuck into the side and one of those red-flocked bows was really, really pricey. I knew I could make one cheaper. We got a really good deal … Continue reading Monday Musings: Stuff and Nonsense

Monday Musings: And We’re Back!

Well, we really didn't go anywhere, but my hiatus from the blog for Thanksgiving went on a bit longer than I originally planned, and turned into a mini-hiatus from most of the internet, as well. I was around, just not as much as I normally am. And, I see you all managed to survive just … Continue reading Monday Musings: And We’re Back!

Tuesday Thoughts: It’s A Week

With a lot to do. We have company coming on the weekend, and our family Thanksgiving on Sunday. Pesky schedules, you know. But that's what happens when the family grows and changes.

It took me a long time to decide what to say about yesterday. It was such a jumble of emotions and thoughts that I needed time to process and untangle.

Monday Musings: Election Eve Thoughts

Yes, this is a late post. Partly because I had things to catch up on earlier today, and partly because I was originally thinking that I should say something about the upcoming election.

Monday Musings: My Office- Completed!

Okay, no, my office is not in a castle! We moved in March. From NH to MA, from a house to a townhouse. There were many reasons for the move, but one was that it got the BaldMan closer to work. He was commuting an hour+ one way before. The townhouse is much better suited … Continue reading Monday Musings: My Office- Completed!

Monday Musings: Life, the Universe, and Everything

42. That's it. That's all I have to say this week. Because, really, what else is there besides the answer to it all, right? * * * * * * * * Oh, okay. I'll add more. Last weekend was another grandchild's birthday party. This time, our Miss B turned three. She seemed happy with … Continue reading Monday Musings: Life, the Universe, and Everything

Monday Musings: There’s a Chill in the Air

Yes, indeed, there is. And even I have to admit that it's kind of nice. This summer was brutal far too often, with high temps and high humidity. The chilly feel that we have now is a rather nice change from that. It's cozy sweater and hoodie weather. Boots and scarves. Even hats and gloves, … Continue reading Monday Musings: There’s a Chill in the Air
