Too Much Time on My Hands?

A while ago I did a wardrobe inventory and cleaned out the closets a bit. One thing I noticed is that now that I'm retired there are certain articles of clothing that don't get worn as much as they used to. I don't really have to project that professional image so much anymore, but one always needs a suit hanging in one's closet, I think.
I have quite a growing selection of fabric pieces so I decided to use some of these to make a couple dust covers for suits and dresses. Well, I whipped up a pair this morning and was putting them on the designated clothing in the closet when my husband happened to come in from running his day's errands. Of course I had to explain to him about dust covers and garment bags. His response, "You have too much time on your hands and I think anyone who saw those would say the same thing."
Personally, I think anyone who saw my dust covers would say I have a very organized closet. Maybe we are each thinking of a different camp of "anyone."

It's TIme

It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on. I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me. I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars. Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one. "Concentrate, Grandma! You have to concentrate!" I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration. He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose. Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours. Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Okay, Linda Reeder . Okay, Arkansas Patti . Yours is NOT a club I wanted to join. But I did anyway. Bike meets car; face meets pavement. Olga meets EMTs, gets ride to ER, meets nurses, doctors and X-ray technicians, and friendly police officer who issues a citation for negligent bike riding. Not pretty. So very not pretty. Are you ready for this? Yes. I was wearing my helmet. Plenty of bruises and swellings, but no broken bones, no concussion. I will take it easy for the next few days, but first order of business is to go out and purchase purple eye shadow.
