Watch my life unravel...

Here are some of the things we got and did at the Great Glebe Garage Sale yesterday: An authentic persian rug, 4×6, for $25 A fellow traveler from the ancient past resurfaced the other day. She happened to stumble across my blog, and read a story in which she recognized herself. So she emailed me and asked who I was. We’ve been corresponding and catching up ever since. Today she sent me a collage of photographs she took of me […] Last night I dreamed that I had a huge aquarium which I’d neglected because I forgot it was there, even though it was huge. Probably 20 feet long, with two levels. Once I remembered it was there I added some water and fed the fish. Then I went shopping at a little confectionery that was […] My sister, Mudmama, detests telephones. I’m not crazy about them either, but I’m not as phobic as she is. I can answer the phone, and if I really, really have to, I can make a call. I don’t know why we have this fear of phones. Maybe it was because we had a party line […] Remember Kimberly Malysheff, the charming Sock Monkey Woman? Well she’s back, and this time it’s not about sock monkeys.

Today I’m finishing that theme off and maybe next week we’ll ring in the new year with some post mortems or something. This little Montreal girl does not look at all pleased to be […] It has been many, many weeks since we had an antique photo of the week: I’ve been remiss. Since Christmas is coming, let’s do some children with their toys. I don’t know much about dolls, so I can’t identify them. I have a collection of boudoir dolls from the 1920s and 30s, but the dolls in […] I don’t have a lot of kitchen wall space. Actually I don’t have a lot of kitchen space of any sort. But I do have one wall, and on that one wall, I have three framed photographs. I call it my Galley Rogues’ Gallery. The three framed photographs are as follows: 1) A professional portrait of […] I met Henry eight years ago, five minutes after Bluesfest 99 started. I was sitting on the bleachers and he sat down beside me. A few minutes later, I pulled out my camera. “You can’t take a picture of the band from here with that little pea-shooter,” said Henry. “I’m not,” I said, “I’m taking a […] |
