Halloween is over, phew! I had a lot going on this past week, not least of all was the making of my daughter’s Halloween costume, which after sufficient deliberation was deemed a failure by both maker (me) and user (daughter). In the end, we (me + her dad) had to scramble last minute to buy the costume instead, which included a trip to the mall. Something I am loath to do, generally speaking. The mall shopping, not the scrambling. The scrambling, I’m used to. As I’m typing this, I’m pretty ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #299
Happy Friday, Fiesta Friends! Hurray, said people everywhere! I'm always excited when it's Friday. Suddenly everything seems so light and easy... Suddenly... I've got something I can laugh about... I feel good in a special way... ??? Friday makes me want to burst into song. I was trying to force the husband to play hooky with me, but he said he had to give a presentation at work.

This is how it came to be - my daughter has a friend whose mom is a friend of a certain nice lady who lives next to a blueberry farm that happened to be undergoing a bank foreclosure.

So the nice lady invited her friends over, to go on a blueberry-picking adventure, and told ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #296
It’s October, aka my birthday month ? Is it too much to ask for a month-long celebration? Where everyday you’re treated to a nice quiet dinner, and maybe a small gift awaits you in the morning when you wake up? You don’t have to answer that ? That’s not what I really want to talk about anyway. I want to talk about this. I called the husband just before he left work if he could stop on the way home to get purple ornamental cabbage/kale plants. I asked for 3, to fill the 3 planters on our ... continue reading...
