Make It, Bake It, Grow It

My large family decided years ago rather than spend tons of money on everyone or draw names, we would do a make it, bake it, or grow it Christmas gift. This is my this year's effort (and my Santa's helper, who sanded and primed the gourds, and the cut holes). My sister Jewel grew the gourds. I painted them. They haven't the final coat of polyurethane on yet, but I thought they turned out pretty good. Hopefully wrens will like them for homes this coming summer. Outdoors I think they should las...

Re-organization

This is my week to go through all drawers and file folders, closets and containers, to discover out what's where, what's needed, what's not, and what needs a new place. This way I at least start the year out organized. It's a big deal. Going through bills and receipts, deciding what to keep and what to toss. Later I might find I've pitched something I really needed to keep. That's one danger. The other danger is resorting something into a safer, saner place. Sometimes that space is so secure ...

The Heroine Completes Her Hero's Journey 5th Post P&P

Just when Elizabeth Bennet feels attraction to Darcy, and he seems to return her regard, she learns from her sister Jane's letter that Lydia has run off with Wickham, and her world falls apart. This event is without doubt the ordeal every hero must face. Lydia represents the shadow, who acts on the base innermost desires inside of everyone. Certainly for a Regency Miss, the desire to thwart the very tight corset society demanded of every woman with any pretense to gentility, must have been a ...

Elizabeth's Transformation 4th Post P&P

Elizabeth has always prided herself on her insight and acumen of the people around her, learned from watching and listening to her father, no doubt. Since beginning her hero's journey to find her other half, in this case a man she can love, she has endured Mr. Darcy's overheard dismissive rebuff, Mr. Collins's boastful self-importance ineptly hidden by his mask of humility, Mr. Wickham turning away to court an heiress, Mr. Bingley's abandonment of Jane, a visit to her former suitor, Mr. Colli...

Hepatitis Update

After several weeks of worry, I finally saw a specialists. He ordered a liver ultrasound, which I had last week. Whew! Besides my doctor telling me my viral loads were elevated but not alarming, he sent a letter telling me that my liver looks normal. So for now, so good! My body has been managing the disease for thirty years. Hopefully, it will continue to do so for a long while. Thinking healthy!
