You've had quite the week! I was on a sequestered jury for a murder case once long ago. The trial lasted longer than a week, about ten days I think. We voted to acquit. It was quite the experience! Isn't fat Granny the one who failed to recognize one of her two lambs last year? If two...

Welcome from Vermont (in northern New England, USA).!

I had to look up catbirds to find that they are migratory. Resident along the Atlantic Coast; otherwise migratory. Catbirds from across North America spend winters along the Gulf Coast from Florida through Texas and all the way down Central America and the Caribbean. I love my catbirds. They...

Howling frigid winds and snow from yesterday that needs clearing. No interest at all in going outside here either

Nice, I like Nat King Cole. My state, along with others has 'Jingle Bells.' It's OK but I also like 'Jingle Bell Rock!' I think my two favorites (not listed) are 'The Holly and the Ivy' and 'Oh Christmas Tree.' (Since none of the Pagan songs have survived, these two are closest.)

Ah, a person after my own heart. I LOVE ribbon candy.

How wonderful! Handmade gifts are the best. I had forgotten that you live only partially on dry land, and the other part onboard a boat!

We had a sizable snowstorm two days ago, and I shoveled a network of paths yesterday. My snow plow guy cleared the driveway, but today we have snow squalls with a bit of accumulation. I was going to go to the post office and also get a Christmas tree, but I've re-thought this. Tomorrow is...

In recent times, #8 came in very handy when it solved a design problem in my kitchen. Our 40 year old microwave, built into a wall cabinet on the other side of the room, died with a wrenching electronic scream. (I now use it as a storage cabinet.) So we wanted to get a table to house the new...

Same here. The elementary school was just up the street from our house. I did take a bus to the junior high and high schools across town, but even they were a short bicycle ride from home on warmer days.

Uh oh, were you a victim of this?

That was when we made the switch to an artificial tree also. It, along with a collection of ornaments accumulated over our lifetimes, lives up in my attic. After my husband passed 7 years ago, it would have just seemed too sad to have put that tree with those ornaments again, even if I could...

Now that is vintage! My grandma had one of those.

2 or 9 or something similar to these.

I don't trust canned shellfish.
