Ted Said…..
Mom, I can’t go to school today, said Ted. Why not I ask. Because I have the hiccups. Oh boy, I am thinking. This is going to be a long 12 years! We took Teddy to Dorney Park last Friday…..
Introducing….. Club Court
I am working on a small line of Christmas stockings made from one of my late Grandfather’s suit jackets. He lived on Club Court for many years. The fabric is wool and has rich shades of blue and bits of chestnut in the plaid. I am adding pieces of chestnut suede to each stocking and …
A New Chapter
I must tell everyone that a very special day is approaching. My son Teddy is starting first grade which means that I will have 7 whole entire hours to myself every day! I know there are probably some other Moms out there rejoicing about the same thing, but you don’t understand. Teddy is the most …

Like Ramona in Beverly Clearly’s novels, “By the Dawnzerlee light!” Ted is in the next room sweetly singing “The Farmer in the Dell”. …

You Capture – Autumn
This week’s You Capture is Autumn. I love Autumn but this year it’s had a bittersweet shadow. I was so overwhelmed by the snow last year and I know it’s all coming again. To be honest, summer was not long enough for me. But at this very moment the foliage is at its peak in …
Ted Said…..
I took Teddy to see some old friends called Marilyn and Bill. I had known them for quite a few years but I hadn’t seen them in a long while and they had never met Teddy. So as you all could imagine, I was a wee bit nervous. They had moved house in the past few …
