Is this not just the happiest staircase you’ve ever seen? This is out at Shake Rag, in Melrose. If you haven’t been out there, you really need to suck up the 15 minute drive and go see it. Shake Rag isn’t just an art gallery, but a cultural community center. It has art, and studio [...]

I’m kind of glad Tim took a sick day yesterday because I had on my schedule to fire the kiln and it wasn’t until it had been running for a couple hours that I found out I had all sorts of unexpected errands. Him being home meant I could safely leave without worrying about burning [...]

Yesterday was Tim’s birthday, and I am here to tell you that he ate well! We all went to Satchel’s for lunch (getting there before him to get a table and place an order for our “invisible friend”) and although Tim had to rush back to work, the rest of us walked through Lighting Salvage [...]

Good times, y’all. Yesterday continued the trend of the year so far; eating great food and spending quality time with people I love. We met up for lunch at Chopstix (where they’ve redone the sushi bar and y’all, SWANK!) and then went off to walk around the part of Payne’s Prairie with the 50-foot observation [...]

Nommy delicious goodness is nommy and delicious. Pasta, spinach, and mushrooms. Mix with garlic, olive oil, and pepper. Eat heartily. We had dinner with the fam’ last night – Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe and Mike and Sharon and Jag and Antony. Tim is feeling a little under the weather so he was fading fast [...]

I guess I did not misbehave as much as I thought this year, because Santa was very good to me! I got books and yarn and a pony and — OK, just kidding, I didn’t get a pony. That’s OK, I’m not that much into horses. But I did get a t-shirt that’s fabulous on [...]

Can you believe my pepper plants are still producing? It’s the ass end of December, and my peppers are still all, “JULY, BITCHES!” I think that’s a sign. An allegory, if you will. Even in the darkest part of the year, the coldest part (of course, as I say that it’s already over 60 degrees [...]
