My birthday was earlier this week! C made it special by cooking his delicious stuffed shells for me and getting ice cream. He also got me a gift I'm super excited about, but it will take a couple of more weeks to get here. A microscope! And petri dishes! I can't wait to get photos … Continue reading Birthday!

Creativity, Knee
Today we took my brace off to adjust it, and my kneecap started to slide out of place. It was painful. Now I'm thinking it will be a few more days before I can manage without it. I'll go to the orthopedic dr on Monday. My family has been pushing me around in the wheelchair. … Continue reading Creativity, Knee
Life Updates
A turned 12! We had a big party with the neighborhood kids. We got pizza, cake, and ice cream. She liked all her gifts! I learned how to collage in Procreate. Finally! I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
Art Room in Progress
My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.

My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer
Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
Summer is here
A just landed back home with her grandparents. C and I are having a lovely day just us again (A traveled all day Saturday too). We went to a lovely shop that sells coffee and analog photography supplies. C got excellent coffee. I got an adorable new 35 mm camera with a bunny character on … Continue reading Summer is here
Looking Ahead
I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead
Should I Start a Substack?
I'm debating starting a substack, possibly more than one. The platform seems fascinating. I just signed up for an account so I can subscribe to other creators, but I think I want to do one too. I have a few topic ideas. 1. Poetry 2. Art and Photography 3. Homemaking and marriage 4. Faith 5. … Continue reading Should I Start a Substack?
