 NUBBLE LIGHT 
CAPE NEDDICK, MAINE

WE NEED TO FEEL BAD BEFORE WE CAN FEEL BETTER

It's raining today, it's making inroads in the snow throughout the dog yard where Roger has shoveled pathways all Winter for the dogs.
Mysti

We are down to one dog now. Our little Chloe (see picture on left sideline) went to doggy heaven in December and Mysti joined her this week. We have Lucy

Lucy

who is acting lost without Mysti; not eating, staring at me with sad eyes, and searching around the dog yard for her. They were pals in everything. Roger is taking Mysti's loss hard also but time will allow us to move beyond our grief and get on with living. But right now its really like losing a child. 

Another happening this week....I was involved in a car accident a couple of days ago when a lady backed out of her driveway in front of me. We were driving down a hill with a stop sign at the bottom so I was not driving very fast. I scraped the whole side of my passenger side across the rear of her suv, denting my little car so badly that the door will not stay latched, the mirror and trim were ripped off the side of the car.  My grandson was in the backseat but neither of us nor the passengers in the other vehicle were hurt. My car was hurt big time. We have an appt on Monday with the collision center to get an estimate. 

 REBOOTING MY MIND WITH OCEANIC MEMORIES

Taking into account how bad this week has been emotionally I searched  my photo album for something to take me away from home. The picture of the light house is a happy memory. The seagulls calling,  cackling and sailing the skies, the enduring beauty and salty freshness of the ocean and the lighthouse so close you feel if you could get a good running start you could jump the ledges to get to it. Throughout my years of traveling to Maine I have visited Cape Neddick many times. My brother lives there for one thing. This area is soooo beautiful! If you ever get the opportunity to go to Maine take the York-Ogunquit-Wells exit off the Maine turnpike and spend a day exploring and enjoying. I can hardly wait for May when I will be heading back up there. 

Aside from reading murder mysteries and watching our new DVD of season one of BLACKLIST I am still hooking away. My daughter, Judi, loved her chunky poncho, thank goodness. Now I am taking a break from snowflake blocks and am working on a ripple blanket and some other wip blocks. I like having choices. Sometimes I don't feel inspired to continue the project I was working on the day before.

Simple little granny blocks....

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
