Make Do and Mend

July 26, 2017July 26, 2017 Carol2 Comments

I so want to be that woman; the one who can just fix those pants in a jiffy and smile beatifically while doing it. But we must all deal with how things actually are. How I Mend Clothing: Procrastinate for at least a month, promising every day I'll do it tomorrow. Get out sewing machine… Continue reading Make Do and Mend

July 4, 2017July 4, 2017 CarolLeave a comment

For breakfast this fine holiday morning, we had a bit of nostalgia. As Paul and I lolled in bed at a shocking 7:00 AM (remember, this is a man who rises daily without an alarm at the inhuman hour of 4:45), he said, "Ugh. I don't feel like making breakfast." He does, most days. He… Continue reading Daddy Eggs
