« Previous EntriesCity Songs
Saturday, August 30th, 2008For a trade at Swap-bot, I am working on a mix CD containing songs with the names of US cities or states in the titles. This is an easy mix to compile as compared to others since it focuses on the titles rather than song themes, although I am tending to choose songs that […]
I’ve Been Blogged…
Friday, August 29th, 2008I just want to give a shout out to Tammy and her delightfully creative blog, daisy yellow, which recently mentioned me in a post about art journaling. Visit the daisy yellow blog here or view Tammy’s journal art at Flickr here.
Random Places I’ve Been Hanging Out
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Swap-bot - I am secretly cursing whomever it was that posted the link to this site. The last thing I need are more commitments… But I’ve let myself get sucked into a couple of swaps — one for hand-carved stamps and a couple for mix CD’s.

Farmer’s Market
Saturday, August 16th, 2008I went to the Farmer’s Market in Muskegon this morning. I haven’t been to a farmer’s market in several years mostly because I just don’t think of it.

Summer Abode
Thursday, August 14th, 2008My friend Dawn wanted to see some pictures of the little cabin at the lake, so I’ve posted some over at my Flickr. It’s such a comfy little place with great views and wonderful lake breezes… it’s hard to leave in the fall!
My Own Swisstory
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Recently I came across the Swisstory blog, which chronicles the adventures of two expats (she an American, he an Aussie), living in Switzerland — in of all places, Urdorf! Urdorf, a quaint little village about 10 minutes from Zurich by train, is the Swiss village I lived in as an exchange student while in […]
Marquette County Fair
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008The Marquette County Fair, held every year during early August, in Sands Township in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has made the New York Times. The article, which is predominantly about the entry and judging of domestic exhibit items such as baked goods and canned goods was of particular interest to me not only because I […]
Becoming Me Again
Sunday, August 10th, 2008I’ve decided to change my last name… back to my maiden name. During my lifetime I have had two married names, the first was the maiden name of my daughters, which I changed when I married the second time, and they have all since changed with their marriages. The second married name […]
