Older than Snoopy

Yes, I am. There was an entry in the August Edition of my local library newsletter under the kids activities relating to the Charles Schultz Museum and Snoopy’s 56th Birthday celebration. And I went “wtf?” I remembered Snoopy from childhood and certainly Peanuts in the Sunday Comics. So, the library was wrong. I sent an email back suggesting that they were wrong about the birthday – perhaps they were referring to the establishment of the museum? I am waiting to hear.

Oh – yes. Snoopy first appeared on 4 Oct 1950 which is certainly more than 56 years ago. Just to verify – I went and looked at the Charles M Schultz Museum website. The museum itself is located in Santa Rosa. Nope – founded in 2002. So no 56 years there either…

On to the less mentally challenging! Had lunch with my son-in-law. Ran errands, filled the car’s gas tank. Ran the car through the car was which actually got most of the redwood goo off the car, came home and moved a number of boxes around.  

All of a sudden it was dark outside. I managed to finish the 3rd of 4 sections on the smallest Halloween SAL (last bit is next Monday). 

Since we now have done cat, pumpkin, ghost & owl I think that we are left with bats & caldrons? Maybe a witch? 

Tomorrow will be filling the rare empty floss spaces with what I bought today, Ms Yellow Mushroom & maybe more Vampyrum.  Or I could think about clearing off my desk so I could use the sewing machine….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
