SEE the small treasures in your life...

they are often reminders of memories. and they add myriad textures.

 

thank you for the book, jon.

I had one of those days. or weeks.

my stitches from the mole removal itched and itched, so I took off the band-aids.

I look like a gimpy frankenstein.

 

I spent all afternoon trying to get jon's latest donations to him. he's down with an injury and the temple dogs need food and medicine.

I transferred the money last week, and it didn't go through, so I called the transfer company, then my bank, then the transfer company, then the transfer company again.

everything went wrong.

both of my computers are sick.

I needed to use a different browser, and it wouldn't open. when it finally did I needed a security code sent to my iPhone. the phone was dead.

but the transfer company tech gave me good instructions.

 

when I finally sat down on my bed to rest, I discovered that boo, who had been playing out in the rain and mud, found my spot on the bed her place to rest.

 

it all resolved and the money should get to thailand by the end of the week.

the dogs will be fed and medicated.

 

...most of my packages are mailed. I actually made cookies and fudge.

the overseas ones will go out after the new year.

I need to wrap the presents for family here.

I need to make a pie.

we'll have potluck dinner christmas eve at my granddaughter's, and christmas morning at my daughter's.

 

these are the textures of my life right now.

not my favorite season.

: )

 

loves to you all.

I think I might be mostly off of flickr for a bit more.

life intrudes.
