We’re done! The attic is now (sort of) nicely organized, vacuumed, and ready for more junk.A discovery: We’ve discovered what the 8′ & 42″ lengths of wood (mentioned in my last post) are for – a quilting frame. That’s the good news. The bad (or sad?) news is that no one wants quilting frames anymore …
Okay, we’re making progress. Our Virginia home is 16 sided (a hexadecagon, for anyone who cares). So the attic is divided into 16 sections, and I’m proud to announce we’ve cleaned out 9 of them – we’re over half-way there! Actually, well more than half-way, as much of the stuff was consolidated around the entrance (understandable, …
Okay, it’s been way too long since I’ve blogged. A combination of procrastination, laziness and being pretty busy are my excuses, and I’m sticking to them. But now Don & I are engaged in a project that may serve as a impetus to get back to blogging.First, a preface: Don & I are spending more …
Another Father’s Day rolls around, another tug at my heart. Every year I’m reminded I don’t have a father to call. But along with the heart-tugs that the too-commercialized day brings, it also encourages me to reflect on fatherhood in general, and what my own father meant to me.Dad’s been gone now 31 years – …

Still, he arrived healthy and alert, and I had the pleasure and privilege of spending close to 2 weeks with the new family. A few observations:First, I’m delighted to see my …
I’ve attended 2 wonderful wedding celebrations in the past month.The first one, in September, was the wedding celebration of an old friend from Baltimore. We were law school chums, having met at the library smoking table (believe it or not, we had a smoking table on the lower level of the law school library – …
Lots to write about – the move (it’s been good); country vs. city life (ditto); baby chicks; headboards (you’re gonna have to wait); life in general. But not today.Today, in thought and in public word, I again honor my Mom, who left this world 3 years ago on March 28. She’s still much loved and much …
My daughter – my only child – was married last weekend.It was a symbol of Ness’ independence that she choose to walk up the aisle alone. No one could give her away; she wasn’t owned by her father or me; and she’s not going to be owned by her now-husband, either.It was a joyous occasion. …
It’s difficult following Don on the humour front, so I’m not even going to try. I must say that his impressions were spot-on, though. No one can tickle my funny bone as he can. Glad he’s affecting others similarly.So, ’tis true, I’m home in my temporary living quarters, The Sunroom of our home. It’s not …
Don here.I will be guest blogging for Diane during her surgery and early recovery. She has alerted her friends and family to this fact, and as such, the circulation of this blog will expand to record numbers.She is such an attention hog.Anyway, if you bookmark this site you won’t miss one gory detail of the …
