Mom's backyard. She loved sitting on her deck with her cuppa of a morning. Anyway, laundry's done. I've been avoiding laundry of late, because it reminds me of Mom, and endlessly folding sheets and towels upstairs while our old Siamese cat, Beebee, scuffled under the sheets we were trying to lay out, "playing." Mom would scold her, and then ruffle the sheets and snap them out so they fell perfectlly even, requiring just a couple of sharp tugs to do hospital corners at the bottom. At this point, a suspiciously cat-shaped lump would be visible in the middle of the…

Five months have passed since Mom died, and it's still a struggle sometimes. I mentioned at the time that there were certain emotional landmines to be negotiated in the months and seasons and years to come. The first snow of the season will be any time now, although it probably won't be heavy enough for Mom to have declared that it was "Doughnut Day." In other words, it's almost time to make the doughnuts, but I'm not really set up for that. However, I can provide her recipe for Disappearing Cookies, which I do know how to make, though they…

U.S. pleased with APEC’s N. Korea stance – Yahoo! News Bush, Putin, and Hu to meet, N. Korean attitude is “who pooted?” It’s a little late for Bush to salvage any reputation as an international player, but at least the food is good.

I was up far too late last night tinkering with this WordPress beta version of my blog, I admit that. Moments after posting a comment over at DDtB inviting folks over for a preview, I enabled a “Friends” macro to point automatically to his blog. I set it to recognize his nick, ***Dave. Then I changed a couple of style options directly, in the style.php file that my husband David has warned me repeatedly not to mess with. So I wasn’t sure what exactly I had done when I refreshed my screen to see my changes, and POOF!! No blog!…

Now it’s just a question of doing the main cutover from Movable Type to WordPress. Why? Because I was getting spam-hammered on my Holy Moly website, and MT just couldn’t deal with it, let alone get rid of it very well. I wasn’t getting as much here, but that’s because my installation here was newer and slightly more robust in the anti-spam arsenal. According to my husband David, WP is about impervious, and this particular theme, Tiga, is gravatar-ready. Soon enough, I’ll add in some dazzle via a plugin or three and fix up the header. The photo shows our…
