Hiatus

So this post is a bit difficult for me to make. Why? Because it means acknowledging what's been going on with me, healthwise. For the past few months, I've experienced a steady decline in my health. I haven't talked about it much and I really have no great wish to go into it now, either. …

Guest Post:Making The Rainbow

Hi again! I'm another Karen, owner of Karin's nearby yarn shop, Cozy! One of the most frequent questions I get at the shop is, "How do you pick all the colors? It must be so hard!" Short answer, it is. It's so hard that I welcome the chance to not pick, when given it; I …

Heaven in a Cup

Hubby and I got a few sample packs from Adagio (no, I'm not affiliated and no I won't get anything from this) and it's been a treat to try new teas. I'm keeping a list of the ones we definitely like (suppose I ought to make one of nevermore, too). So far we've tried two …

But, there was another staple of good Southern cooking that I have ignored for years now, …

Toothless/-no more

I gotta tell ya, dentures take getting used to like whoa. My mouth is (obviously) still healing, so there's that aspect of it. Another is... well, let's just say my mouth is now a lot smaller and I now have even more issues trying to make sure foods only go one way. That said, I can …

Empty Needles

I haven't been knitting. Or writing. Or really doing anything creative. I am at a loss. My only child has left for college, and my house is absurdly quiet, even with animals (dogs, cats, pig, bird) and another child living here (not mine, just one I love who has need of a soft place to …
