Yesterday – Much Less Eventful.

Hubby was working from home, so I left him to supervise the contractor dudes (they don’t need it, but sometimes they ask questions before they do something. And you need to make sure there are cold beverages in the cooler for them. . .) I had done a bunch of research on Ong’s Hat, thinking [...]

Too Much Excitement at 6AM

Hubby had to wake me up because a puppy had decided he wanted to join our family. Poor thing was skinny and soaked to the bone, no collar, but clearly a pet. He was friendly and affectionate, and if I’d wanted another dog, he’d have found a home. However, Judy is quite enough dog. I [...]

Why No New Posts, Alison?

Umm. . .umm. . . I’ve been in a more receptive than productive mode, actually. I cruise around the web, see all kinds of things I would comment upon. . .if everyone else on earth hadn’t done it all ready. There’s not much point in simply adding another voice to the cacaphony, so I just [...]

Paul Hill

OK, this is an appalling thing, but it’s been suggested that a blogswarm will bring attention to it. As tiny as this blog is, it’ll be a contribution. July 27-29th this year, a group of sick individuals will be holding Paul Hill Days in Milwaukee. In case you don’t recall, Paul Hill is the man [...]

Stuff Going On

We’re starting to ease into summer bit by bit around here. Audrey has had her graduation, graduation dance, graduation party, graduation sleepover. . .so that’s done. We still have some construction happening. The garage is on its way to becoming an art studio, the new siding should be on the house by the end of [...]

Pipecleaner Dance

Apparently this has been around for a while, and I missed the boat. In case you haven’t seen it, though, click here to make the little pipecleaner man dance for you. It’s fun!

Sam Brownback, Off Course to the White House

There’s a lively discussion over at Crooks and Liars about Senator Brownback’s latest moral declaration. All I can say (besides what I said on the comments thread) is that I’m glad he’s making so many theocratic statements now, so we don’t have to worry about him becoming president and surprising us. I wish they’d all [...]

Grounds for Sculpture

Yesterday we spent several hours with our dear friends wandering Grounds for Sculpture. We had made a couple of trips before to Storm King Mountain before, and it is quite lovely, but GfS is stunning. The art is all over, both out where you can see it, and hidden in unexpected places (so if you [...]

Serendipity!

So, we’ve been organizing, rearranging, culling out useless stuff bit by bit. Audrey got a loft bed, so we disassembled the old one and rearranged her room. We decided the IKEA Pax units weren’t working for fabric storage (or much of anything else) in the family room, so we reassembled my garment racks, and I [...]
