Busy Day

What a wonderful Friday!  Here are some happy things from today:

  • This morning, some SCA friends came by to look at the property.  We are hoping to have some of the people involved with the Forester's Guild come by and utilize our woods and property to learn and practice things that Foresters do.  We are excited by this opportunity.  The only problem is the amount of pricker bushes and ticks.  We have ideas on how to lesson some of these things a little.



  • Sometime during the week Bel and someone else worked at Keziah’s store in the backroom.  They did some amazing work getting things organized.  There is still much to do, but it is looking so much better.  The store gets so many donations it is hard to keep up.



  • Bel and I got to go on a little hike today.  We went to Muchyedo Banks Wildlife Management Area.  I've been there one other time about two years ago with a group of friends.  It is a very pretty walk.  Bel and I are trying to plan some other hikes if we can get together. 







  • At DIY Craft & Thrift we helped Keziah a little at the store.  After closing, Bel was showing some of the artists their washboard and how they played it.  There ended up being a jam session, although not with the washboard, in the back of the store.  They all wanted to get together to play again and then learned that Bel would be going back to Maryland.  It was a lot of fun watching them play together. 








  • At home Bel showed me how they make beet-bean burgers.  I love these!

Started listening to: Happiness for Beginners, by Katherine Center.   

Still reading the book I didn't intend to, Saving Nora.  The author appears to be Josh Williams.  

Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

Final Post for 2024

--Here are some happy things from this last day of the year: It was a working day for me.  It was busy and I left early.  I had three and a half hours of PTO and I decided to use them.  There was internal guilt, but everyone I told that I had PTO to use, agreed that I needed to use my time. Since I was home a little early, I went to DIY Craft & Thrift and helped finish up the store reset.  The store looks great and somehow seems to be more spacious.   After a nap, I went to the party Keziah and Zed were having.  The theme has to do with toasting in the New Year with jam.  Jam-bor-brie is what they called it this year.  I got to spend time with friends visiting and playing games.  I learned two new games; The Isle of Cats and Dixit.  We also played Carcassonne.   It was a lot of fun.  I need to play games more often. Spin the Lego wheel to choose your jam! My board toward the beginning of playing The Isle of Cats. The y...

Sore Thursday

Here are some happy Thursday things: In an attempt to make a long story short, last week I fell and things didn't seem too sore.  Then I went hiking and backpacking, again, not too bad.  Follow this with work where I needed to get up and down from the floor and now I am having enough aches and pains that I've been taking ibuprofen.  Why is this part of my happy list?  The ibuprofen worked.  It wasn't perfect, but while on it, there was a lot of improvement.  So much so that around 5.5 hours after taking it, I could tell the pills had worn off.  Okay, maybe the story wasn't short.  🙂 I remembered to mend the seam on the gown I'm planning to wear Saturday.   It needs a little more done, but not today. Before After The Inktober prompt was boots.  I am no artist. Pencil Pen Sunset ☮ Currently listening to: The Silmarillion , by J. R. R. Tolkien.  Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Sleepy Time

Here are some happy things from today. At work, I survived a shift of stowing.  For this, and other reasons, I should practice squatting more often.  Perhaps it is time for me to find an exercise challenge.  I seem to do well with challenges like that. On the way home TF called.  We hadn't talked for a while.  Embarrassingly, I eventually fell asleep during our conversation.  I guess it has been a long week.  We ended our conversation and I took a nap.  My alarm goes off at 3:30 every afternoon.  Soon after that Keziah called.  This helped wake me up enough to go eat.  Food is important.  Keziah thought Zed was going somewhere tonight and I might like to join him. He wasn't, so I went and rested for a few minutes.  Hours later I woke up.  I missed Craft Night and had eighteen minutes to get a DuoLingo lesson done before midnight.  🤣 It was a work, sleep, eat kind of day.  Thankfully I thought to get a pictu...
