Valentines Day

Is really more of a commercial holiday than any real form of love, remembrance, or social meaning.  Except for two friends of mine who chose the date for their wedding five years ago. I have to admit, it would make it hard to forget one’s anniversary date, now wouldn’t it?

George is still dealing with the whack that comes along with changing time zones to Taipei last Saturday and returning home on Thursday morning. I, on the other hand, had planned on audiobooks and wound up with the cat in the lap helping.

Masqued Mischief has progressed.

In the morning I need to wander back upstairs to get the two remaining colors I didn’t pull so that I can stitch her legs, her hair and the rest of the winged stuff …. followed by back stitch and beads. There is always back stitch and beads…

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!
