Knittech, this one’s for you!!!

*sigh* You know that expression, “So near and yet so far?” Yeah, sometimes publishing the books is like that. I get it done (I think) and perfect (I hope) and then I get it in (huzzah) and then… They send it back to me so I can do the whole damned thing one more time…. Read More

We went today with my parents–Goddess love them lots and lots because it was a splendid day. We learned about the earth and lemurs and lizards and rain forests and bugs… you know, the usual. We also learned a couple of unusual things–and I thought I’d share: * We learned if a kid is given… Read More
