every day's just like starting over
and that's not always a good thing
This most recent Friday we hiked part of the Silver Falls backcountry trails. The "frontcountry" of Silver Falls State Park is where the waterfalls are, thus the "Trail of Ten Falls". In the backcountry there are no waterfalls to speak of. We parked at the South Falls parking lot and started off towards the campground… Continue reading Backcountry
We caught Friend again yesterday! The Hubs revised his original "make the whole patio a trap" plan after Friend got out the first time we used that. This time when I let go of the rope and the door came down, since Friend couldn't get out the top of the fence like he did last… Continue reading Gotcha!
Yesterday I went over to Dad's to decorate for Christmas. Dad has a little pine tree in a pot that lives on the deck for most of the year, but is brought in to sit on a little table for Christmas. We have had it as our tree for a few years now, and have… Continue reading More Decor

I thought some rusty bells and ornaments, forest animals, brown and green velvet and shiny balls, pine cones, chocolate brown and tan poinsettia flowers, and flocked picks for my plain green tree would be nice, along with some goldish or rusty… Continue reading Tree
Just saw this video of Brenda Lee singing "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" at the age of 79. She first sang the song when she was 13 years old in 1958.

The other day I was perusing Facebook Marketplace and found a wooden bowl that I thought was interesting. It was $10, and I thought I could sell it for a bit more at the Christmas bazaar I have coming up. I went over to West Salem to a huge apartment complex and picked it up… Continue reading Sticky
You may have read my post about trying to catch Friend the outside kitty in order to bring him inside so he could be an inside kitty. (I named him "Friend" because he was Philip's friend and they enjoyed visiting together.) We first noticed Friend when he was just a kitten, outside in our yard.… Continue reading Caught!
Oh dear, I said in my Do Not Buy list that I wouldn't buy any more gloves, but... I have these very nice Isotoner gloves, but the fingers are all about an inch too long. I have wide hands but very short fingers. This makes it difficult to do anything with the gloves on (lock… Continue reading Gloves
