Stiff and Tired Fingers Caused by Lots and Lots of New Stuff . . .
Yesterday I estimated that I had added nearly 200 new items to our website over the past few weeks. Today I checked – it was actually 219. My keyboard has gotten a workout . . . Most of the new items are in categories and have special sections all their...
Jane’s Grandchildren, TV Stardom, and Other Stories from Texas . . .
I have been so busy . . . and I am so far behind. In the past few weeks, I have been to Texas and back . . . have put nearly 200 new items from CHA on our website . . . have planned another Grand Canyon hike with Dad and Blake for September . . . have held...
Scenes from a Rainy Saturday at Marco’s . . .
Just got back from the store, where Zoe and I went to shoot pictures for a great class that Donna Weibel will be teaching on August 9 during the Stamping Gala. It’s a gatefold card featuring iris folding, with an envelope made with the Envelope Punch Board and a...
It’s Raining Again . . .
I spent the weekend in Florida at this year’s StampFest Orlando. After years of drought, I think I can say with certainty that the days of the Five O’Clock Thunderstorm (and lots of other hours of the day) have returned. I left home on Wednesday, got home...
Milestones . . .
Last Friday was my parents’ 56th wedding anniversary. I have always appreciated being able to do the math easily – take whatever age I’m going to be that year, add one, and that’s how many years they have been married. Here are two pics from their wedding...

Sunday was the most unusual Father’s Day in my memory. It began innocently enough – I took Mom to church with me and then came back to their condo to play cribbage with Dad (just like I do most Sundays when we’re all in town). Afterward, I did my usual...
Miles and Miles for a Smile . . . and Other Stories
I should probably start every post with “I have been really busy lately” – or maybe I should just stop saying it and assume that everyone knows that I have been really busy lately. Regardless, there comes a point where enough pictures and stories have...
It Was Irritating . . . But It Could Have Been So Much Worse. And I Was Thankful.
As I type this, I am sitting in my hotel room near Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT. In a few minutes, I will take the short drive from here to the Eastern States Exposition (the Big E) in West Springfield, MA to start setting up for this weekend’s...
Still My Puppy After Six Years . . .
Happy Birthday, Zoe . . .
Prayers Needed for Two Generations of Krivitskis . . .
I just spent two hours moving everything important to me (or so it seemed) into my replacement cell phone. My old one failed – for the second time in two months – but thankfully was just barely in warranty so Verizon replaced it free (again). I had tried...
