Stone Soup

That's about the only thing I haven't tried around here--stone soup.  (But stay tuned.)  🙂  Gemstones ARE used by practitioners to energize food--although, obviously, one must not try to chew them.  🙂  SERIOUSLY: certain semi-precious stones, like malachite, are...

What happened to quilting?

Yesterday I received an email from a long, long-time friend and faithful blog-reader, asking what ever happened to all that quilting I was planning to do.  🙂  A reasonable question, actually--thanks, Jeanie Beanie-- and the answer is: I'm still planning to quilt. ...

I may levitate 🙂

My giant, beautiful flourite sphere arrived from China yesterday, and I'm so excited.  The thing is HUGE.  This being my favorite member of the mineral family, the stone I call the spiritual super-conductor, I have big plans for using this one in meditation, etc. ...

Phew! Just made it!

Blogging today feels something like trying to jump aboard a moving freight train--but here I am!  I don't mind telling you it was touch-and-go for a while there.  🙂 Our first Amazon and Barnes and Noble winners have been chosen and notified--congratulations to Brenda...

Black Friday? Not for me. 🙂

I've rechristened today, the 29th of November, 2013, from "black Friday" to "blessed Friday".  🙂  The gratitude we celebrated yesterday lingers, a deep and sweet knowledge that no matter what circumstances we may find ourselves in, there is always reason to offer...

Thanksgiving and more

Today is Weight Watchers day--I expect to do okay, even though I indulged a little more than I probably should have during the recent visit to Seattle.  🙂  Thing is, I didn't go wild, so it's all good.  I tend to alternate between a very good week (last week, an...

Got rocks? 🙂

They just keep arriving, via UPS and the postal service--the picture Jasper, the incredibly lovely "Picasso" Jasper, the opal-like Labradorite, the gentle blue jade, the medicinal flourite....around here, every day is Christmas, it seems like.  🙂 I have gemstones on...

Well, now…

Where to start?  The laptop did not come in, and if the hotel had a business center, I failed to find it.  Hence, no blogs--until now.  🙂 Last week's winners, before I forget, were: Jean Burkacki and Marlene Kubick--congratulations, ladies.  A new contest begins...

Four weeks and counting

As of tomorrow, I've been back in Weight Watchers for a full month--how time flies when you're counting points.  🙂  I've lost a little more--hurray!--and sure am enjoying being able to wear my jeans again.  This afternoon--at last--I have my first EMDR* therapy...

Stone Crazy, That’s Me

Somehow, I never imagined myself as a rock collector--Annie Oakley, an astronaut, a guest at the White House, or Little Joe Cartwright's wife, yes.  But a rock collector?  No. 🙂 (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Mom!)  A mail day doesn't pass these days, it...

Saturday blog plus prattle

I'm up early today, to get a jumpstart on my writing.  Neecie (one of Bernice's many nicknames) is beside me in her office  bed, getting a jumpstart on sleeping.  🙂 I was supposed to announce last week's winners yesterday, but alas, it didn't happen--so here they...

Ladies Who Lunch and Do Other Stuff, Too

Yesterday was my Weight Watchers meeting--one of those nonspectacular weeks this time--.8 pounds.  (Note the decimal!)  Afterward, I paid a visit to Trader Joe's, which is near our meeting place, to stock up on some WW-friendly food.  Next, Wendy, Jen and I had lunch...
