No title.

I hate coming up with creative and catchy titles... this entry won't be getting one... cuz I'm not feelin' it.



Moving on...

So, our ancient, but hearty (hey it lasted almost 15 years and these days that's a LONG time) DVD player finally bit the dust the other day, so I've been forced to rely on Netflix while I lie around (such a hardship ;-p).

Anyway, last night whilst waiting to go to the airport to retrieve The Lovely Barbara, I came across 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'... I freakin' LOVE that show!... but in particular the bicycle scene... not to mention that it was filmed in one of my most fave places on the planet... right outside Zion National Park in the ghost town of Grafton, Utah (went there all the time as a girl).  Love the song, too... listened to it over and over on the 8-track when I was a kiddo.  I remember when I was young though that something always troubled me about Butch and Etta (Paul and Katharine) cruisin' around the apple orchard because I was worried about the chemistry between them... I couldn't stand the thought of Etta cheating on The Kid.  Watching it for the first time since I was VERY young last night, I sort of wish she'd "met Butch first"... he was a pretty nice guy.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
