Handiwork

YES! I completed my first attempt at embroidery. This new hobby is satisfying because it doesn’t require much gear, I can work on it on the train and I get to see something finished for once.

The family that is sick together stays together

I have to make note of the weekend Bill, Collin and me got oh-so-very sick. It hit Friday night and rocked our world until Sunday morning. We went through every pant and shirt Collin owns, every towel and every blanket.

And today is my birthday and he gave me three lovely pukes at the dinner table. But I love him so! I hope we all get better and can laugh later at the time we all thought the world was coming to an end.

Birds

I’m not sure what it is about the Northwest but the quantity of birds is grossing me out. They sit in empty trees in large enough groups that the trees look full and leafy. They sit in groups of 50+ on telephone wires. And they have no fear of people.

They are giving me the heebee-jeebees.
