Today, FOUR Babblers showed up in Olympia: Bugsaw, Jillibus, jmcnrick, and Pinikula. We had a great time, and plotted our work for tomorrow. I will have pictures of them up then… Right now, a link to the scarves they chose stidmama’s picasa album. More pics and a full report in the morning…

Getting on in years…
I could tell, this afternoon, when I ran into a friend from high school that we were both a) still recognizable and b) older. I was walking with a cane, she wasn’t — but we started right in on what we used to do and with whom (though in my class in high school, she […]
Almost Over…
The meeting is officially over as of yesterday evening. The actual lecture part was over the evening before that. The trip up the mountain was not what we expected.

A trick question?
The elder stidkid made it home late Sunday night, from a three-week trip to Australia. While he was away, his best friend/penpal from Tbilisi came to visit, arriving a week before the stidkid came home. So the younger stidkid hosted our friend admirably for a week.

Whoever you are, or whatever your reason for coming here, I want you to know that I appreciate the time you spend! I know […]

Tomorrow is Reader Appreciation Day, thought up and promoted by my friend Robin at The Other Mother. Here is a link to her blogposts about it: the first one Madonna Thanks…; some ideas people have on how to do this; and the list of participants. You can still add yourself to the list of participants […]
