I'm so happy and excited! My crochet aid just arrived in the post a few minutes ago. Mac was kind enough to check the mail for me since he had a gift to drop off for Margaret and it was in the mail. I can't wait to get started on learning how to use it! It's much smaller than I thought it would be... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes I really hate trying to be an author. Not for the writing part of it. I LOVE the writing bit. It's the cutting and editing I hate. No, despise! Which leads me to the reason for this post. I just hope y'all won't end up hating me for what I'm about to do. Vyktor has to start again. And I... Sign in to see full entry.

AVINGNON Note: We have left Paris, and are now in Avingnon. I have never actually been here, but I have in fact seen this place. Perhaps one day, God will allow me to see it in the flesh. It’s a quarter to eight when Max finally steers us down the long, narrow dirt road, following my directions to... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I finally made it back to blogland. Did y'all miss me? I've had a nice hot shower and I'm waiting for Margaret and Mocha to get home from the vet. I haven't excercised today, but will get to it later. Still no more letters from Volodya. I wonder how he's feeling? If I don't hear from him after... Sign in to see full entry.

When I got my craft books in the post this morning as I mentioned, two of them have cute little sweets and different bears to make using polymer clay. I'm thinking of giving the books to Becky as a gift because she enjoys working with polymer clay. But...the designs are so cute that it got me... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm so pleased! I just completed a thirty minute "ride" on my "bike!" It felt great! I think that's just what I need more of. Getting up and moving, I mean. My mobility is limited for the time being so the time being it's important to move as much as possible. Sometimes I really do have to shake my... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning everyone... It is COLD outside today! And poor Margaret had to wonder out in it for her appointment! BRRR!!! I really feel for her. Ah, well. She'll be back soon. I just wish I didn't have to send her to Wal-Mart alone on Thursday. But it can't be helped. Tomorrow poor little Mocha has... Sign in to see full entry.

This week is going to be an extremely busy one for both Margaret and I, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to be here. Tomorrow is her first of only two physical therapy appointments allowed by the state. There seems to be some confusion about this statement amongst my loyal friends/readers, so...

Hi everyone... I have some things to take care of, so this post won't be a long one. I'm feeling a lot better today, though my back really hurts. Still, I'm much better than yesterday. YAY! Mum rang me back last night while she was watching the super bowl game and she sounded much better. So, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Poor Mum's got the flu! I'm hoping it's just the twenty-four hour strain and that she'll be feeling better later on. I hope she's at least able to enjoy the super bowl game this evening. I'm feeling a bit rough myself. I'm wondering if I'm not coming down with a cold. We have to be up and at it by... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a very pleasant Saturday. I know, I haven't posted one blog today! To be honest, I may be going on hiatus soon. Nothing's definite yet though. It's warmer than it has been here, but it's still a mix of rain and snow. I chatted Becky on the new mobile phone this... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just been to a site called Zaba search looking for an old friend. Only thing is, I feel kind of guilty about it...I'm afraid maybe he'll think I'm spying on him or something. I hope to hear back, but I'm not betting on it. Sign in to see full entry.

I have some play money in my account for right now so I've decided I'm going to use it! I'm going to take Margaret on a shopping spree at amazon! It's gonna be fun! I may also go to alice tonight to do some of the monthly household shopping since we can't get out to Wal-Mart just now. We'll see. For... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited! I just had to come and share this great piece of information with you all. I know that some of you here crochet or knit-or do both-and perhaps you know others who do, too? If so, and you would to donate some of your handmade afghans, blankets or quilts I have a great...

Hello everyone... Please, may I ask for prayers for Volodya? I received a letter from him this morning and he informed me that he came down sick last night. It isn't anything serious. There is some sort of viral infection going round in Moskow at the moment and unfortunately it caught up with him!... Sign in to see full entry.

It finally stopped snowing. Thank goodness! The sun is shining once more and the snow is actually melting a little! HOORAY!!!! Wish I could jump up and down or something. I've just had another letter from Volodya. He's so sweet. He always wishes me blessings and happiness at the end of his letters.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm getting so excited about this new crochet aid that I decided to go and have a look for a pattern for an adult-sized Eeyore afghan to crochet for my bed. Well, actually it started with a look for an adult-sized Eeyore quilt for the bed. Oh, bother! No luck. I haven't given up looking though. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here we are on a Wednesday afternoon. I've got so much running through my head right now that it isn't funny. Not all bad stuff, just jumbled. I think I'm going through a bit of a brain fog at the moment. It's snowing mad here and frankly, it's beginning to depress me. It isn't too bad but I... Sign in to see full entry.

I sit next to him for a long while, staring into his pale sleeping face. I cannot say anything to Babi because it would only frighten her but…I can feel his pain. Literally. For at least an hour now, there has been a terrible burning pain in my right side. It is nothing. It will pass. I have felt... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited! I can't believe my luck sometimes...honestly! I just went to amazon and found two VERY COOL THINGS. One is a book called CROCHET AND KNIT FOR THE DISABLED AND ELDERLY. Now, I have to confess to y'all that I strongly dislike-No, I HATE this title with a BLOODY PASSION. I... Sign in to see full entry.
