Frrrrankly I do not have time to keep on erasing comments from those with no higher purpose in life than cluttering. I’ve disabled the Commentary button. Actually, rather than as a chat room I’m using this blog to get my autobiography underway– “Just Another Tassel on the Lunatic Fringe”. If I ever should suffer sufficient […]

Computers are kind of an insult to this Calligraphress. Much prefer the 3rd-dimensional approach to writing: various nifty tools & inks, textured paper in rainbow hues, shapes of the alphabet to convey emotions… But I’m settling in to this new laptop– just wandered into an Options category, and now I’m all set up with a […]

WHOA!!! Got a new Puter, MAJORLY disorienting, about settled in now, but hadn’t been able to get into blog backstage ’til right now!!! Missed ya. And I can see the handwriting on the wall: it’s gonna be midOctober betimes I talk with you again… after a (relatively) homebound summer, I’ll only be home for 8 […]

My parents were poor at the beginning of their marriage, but compensated by adroitly making everything: our furniture, clothes, food, car maintenance, house repair, toys were all from/by their hands. This is how we were to know that they loved us, as they were prettymuch emotionally damaged and unable to express love physically, heartfully or […]

I’d originally had it in mind that writing to you each Sunday sunset would be done from some High and Holy space within. That is still my intention, that space is in there still… HOWEEVAH, a couple things are impinging: one of course is my husband’s frail physical condition. We still handle him by intuition […]

That’s IT!!! this helvetica typeface on a pure white background just DOES NOT SUIT. None of the other available Blogger Backgrounds does it for me either… so could you kindly just mock up a peachy backdrop with a heavy bower of fullblown dusty pink roses dripping over these paragraphs? Thanks everso. Much more appropriate to […]

When I was little, everyone said I had too much imagination. Decades later, a newscaster on the radio mentioned an apartment housefire. I got pictures of a woman and small child alone in a room… and suddenly realized it WASN’T imagination: all those years, whether it’d been stuff to make/draw, sudden fears of the dark […]

My mother’s name was Mildred Virginia Peacock Becker. She died shortly before 9/11, right at the end of an era. I spent the last week of her life beside her bed in a Connecticut old folks’ home… she was in a coma from numerous small strokes. I feel blessed to have been there with her […]

Still suspended in space from the marriage of #3 Son. He has married well! A nonstop smile on that guy for the entire wedding afternoon, full teeth. (Smile grading: no teeth, half teeth…) And small wonder: she’s perfect! They run their lives as I do: vocation, avocation and vacation all the same thing, always busy; […]

Yes, it’s Friday! and I am just now back in spirit from a very good wedding. A very good marriage! Betcha my son will see a 50th wedding anniversary with this wonderful wife. They are quite a team. Could’ve waited a couple days and skipped this exchange, but hey: something else will have come up […]
