This evening a couple brought in a redtail hawk they’d seen crash. He was sooooo gorgeous. The rehabber came & picked him up for nursing care. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with raptors (really not since school), so I was more excited than helpful. But at least we [...]

I finally got my PDA (broken by Dave over Christmas) back this week. It’s an HP IPaq 4355 and I really really like it. In the short time I had it I put so much stuff on it — my mileage log, copies of contracts, my relief schedule, contact numbers for all the [...]

Tonka is doing better; not great, but better. He’s eating but has vomited once.

Making up for all the time off I had earlier this month — I work M-Sat this week. Four different clinics. Keeps life interesting & varied!
I visited a weaver’s studio in Costa Mesa (purchased some roving wool to use in felting projects) yesterday, and paid another visit to Concepts in Yarn in Torrance [...]

Dave is getting better. Tonka came home last night. And our two next door neighbors’ retaining walls failed at 3 a.m. during the big thunderstorm sending mud, fence and miscellaneous material hurtling at their houses — luckily not damaging their houses, or injuring anyone. Firemen came, evacuated our neighbors, told us if [...]

Well, my husband is sitting on the daybed in our office/guestroom, asking plaintively if he’s going to be mentioned in the blog, that he’s sick, too (and has been for the past couple days). My retort was that he’s not going to die from his cold, and Tonka dying was a definite possibility.
The final [...]

Dave and I visited Tonka this afternoon. He’s obviously feeling better, purring and making biscuits on our arms as we held him. So far no vomiting since Monday a.m. and he’s getting to eat today.
Since I had the day off today I got to work on this blog a lot, joining some rings [...]

My beloved Tonka is sick. He’s the old boy, nearly 16, and has a long history of low grade inflammatory bowel disease and all the other fun stuff that goes with it. He had a bad flare up Sunday night/ Monday morning (puking at 1 a.m.) and I took him to the emergency [...]

Add on to the ‘to do’ list: take pics of my finished & works in progress projects. I finished the felted tote from Felted Knits a couple days ago. Still working on the Rigel sweater (aka his drone costume — yellow and black stripes, I’m also going to make him a little cap with antennae) [...]

Well, this is the first blog I’ve ever done, so we’ll see how long I keep at it. Between work, SCUBA diving, various arts & crafts (knitting, stained glass, mosaics, painting), husband, pets, etc, time is short.
Works in progress include a knitted sweater for Rigel the dog, a DNA patterned cable scarf for myself, and [...]
