Call-O-Ween

Posted on 2024-10-31 by Holly

You have to hand it to them. Nothing like taking advantage of a chance to use a horrible pun or co-opt a holiday that really does not have the same kind of ownership that other holidays have.. In this case, … Continue reading →

Perhaps there is a floor

Posted on 2024-01-07 by Holly

in my craft room after all. At least I think I can walk across it now without too many things going crunch or me slipping and falling down. I am still trying to figure out completely what goes where. But … Continue reading →

Not that many points

Posted on 2022-02-26 by Holly

Posted on 2022-02-16 by Holly

A hard loss

Posted on 2022-02-13 by Holly

No, not a family member or a football game. But the Cal Women’s Basketball team lost in overtime. I can’t say that either they, or Utah were consistent. Errors were made on both sides. Actually all three side – the … Continue reading →

Not their best performance

Posted on 2019-04-16 by Holly
