I've been toying upon this idea since the new year, but have wanted to get all the background info set up before I went live with it. I still wish I'd started it in January, because this isn't how I wanted to present it, but if you care to read as I intended, you might want to begin with the January posts and work forward in the year. I'm hoping to include some of Mom's stories in here, and a few of Dad's, a budgie story or two, family memories, things like that, to go along with the old photos I've been posting on Facebook.

Okay, I was going to pin this in Pinterest, but Jane Brocket asks that you not use her photos without permission, so here's the link to the post:

I love pansies almost as much as I love lilacs, because their cute little "faces" remind me of budgies or owls. These two little guys "posing" are so appealing!

I love Brocket's blog; it's always so bright! I bought her Gentle Art of Domesticity book not because I like to knit or crochet, or cook, or garden, but because I couldn't resist the bright illustrations, especially those given patterns and textures: rows of yarns, quilt patches, threads. I've never gotten over my childhood love for rainbow colors, whether on Christmas trees or in fireworks.

(And really, really, really Brocket publisher, you need to put Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer back into print because I can't find it for less than $60 and that is ridiculous. At least put it into PDF format and sell it as an e-book! ::grump!::)

Hurts. Bleah.

Working our way through the last few What's My Line? and To Tell the Truth episodes we recorded from GSN.

If there is one positive thing about GSN not showing both of them anymore is that I don't have my 1950s nostalgic viewing interrupted by some guy intoning "MALE ENHANCEMENT!" (gah!) or the two young women and the older woman cooing over Trojan's tiny vibrator. TMI is TMI!

Anyway, I am trying out a new web page tonight: Tales from St. Nicholas.

I found this blog while searching for something else. We're not exactly alike, but this lady and I could be sisters in some of the things that we like and do—like taking or not taking pills and forgetting which (like I did the other night).
