2022

Posted by , .

#bestnine2022 2022 started out ok enough — we were wrapping up our 2nd full year of the pandemic and starting the third. Vaccines were plentiful and things did not seem as grim. But we still didn’t feel comfortable having a bunch of people in our home, so Emmy’s birthday in February was a winter caravan Continue Reading »

The Wedding Stitch

Posted by , .

When Ellen asked me to be her Matron of Honor last fall, I was truly honored. I knew I had to whip up something special for my bestie so for her bridal shower in January, I wrapped up this stitch portrait I had made. I used Ellen and Paul’s Christmas card photo for inspiration plus Continue Reading »

Super Wife

The other day, I needed to do some in-person banking that was going to take a bit longer than a simple stop. So I timed the trip with my best guess as to when Emmy would nap so she would snooze in the car, at the bank-mart and maybe give me enough time to also Continue Reading »

Poo

Posted by , .

This morning, Pixel was barking and Iris was yelling at her to “knock it off, Poo!” I don’t always yell at Pixel when she is barking because duh, she’s a dog but there are those days where if it goes on long enough and if it’s just one of those days, I absolutely do. When Continue Reading »

A Request

The other day when I dropped Iris off at my parents’, my dad followed me into the garage  to shut the door after I was through. He does this all the time but this particular day, he had a request. Dad, “Thor, I have a request. Do you have any raisins?” Me, “Um. Yeah but Continue Reading »
