Today was a sad day in many ways for me, yet also a day of wonderfully fond memories. Today would have been my grandmother’s 95th birthday if she were still living. It was sad because she has been gone now for just over 2 years and I miss her terribly, but it was [...]

My response to the new meme, “The A List“:
Why do you answer memes? Or read other people’s answers? What memes do *you* read?

I’ve run away from home. I was about 4, to my [...]

Stitching Blogger’s Question for 14 Sept 05:
Do you stitch for events like weddings, engagements, or other things that might not last? If you have been unlucky and the two people broke up, what happened to your stitched gift?

Ok, one would think I’m used to this by now, but it still just irks me to have to put up with someone poking fun at me for being vegetarian, or having to explain to someone why I’m vegetarian because they won’t just accept it as a matter of fact.
