    Ohhhhh… NOW I know why Thelma was standing in line with two wire-mesh strainers instead of one, when I ran into her a couple of weeks ago.

    We were both shopping late at the Ballard and Chestnut Mega FoodMart and Saddle Shop.

    I asked her whether she wanted me to put one back on the rack for her….and she giggled….

    Er… I had no idea I mean….it was unintentional, you know…

    Behind every great man is a woman urging him on. So it was with my Stella. She urged me out into space – not that she meant to. But with her continual confounded nagging…well I think of her constantly. And every time I do I go further out into space.

    I’m very much into costumes. Over the years I made many for my kids (but even more for myself when I was younger and now again in re-enactments). We have some crazies among the SCA folks that I know (belly dancers and pirates) and my love of costumes does not stop with those.

    I woke up this morning with a lovely breeze blowing in my window (curtains and even my topsheet fluttering) and had to check the weather first thing (71F and 21%RH perfect for morning .. . )

    I was alwas much more likely to greet him in or out of something than to wear it for goodbyes.

    I did usually slip into a nightgown before making breakfast. (robes don’t work – long sleeves can catch fire)

    Praying you stay safe! It has been non-stop coverage of the storms here since Sunday, when a tornado stuck the extreme S.W. end of town, and killed 2 elderly men, and went through the center of Carney.Today, so far, we’ve had repeated bouts of thunderstorms with strong winds ,rain, and some hail moving through the already affected areas, but thankfully, not sirens blaring. I’m really ready for it to stop.

    snoring? Not even if he WERE here. He’s hundreds of miles away but some photos were in my bed (`(Some of his face)~.

    I have some friends who do good Viking gear; styles are not sufficiently feminine for my liking and my man does not play that game (at least not yet). He’s too dedicated to his work to spend time at that (seldom would even come to AZ).

    Bev…. wow….thanks…. Amazing.

    In the midst of overwhelming devastation…. neither of them seemed to have a scratch on them, much less a broken bone.

    The next thing, though, is finding somewhere for all the displaced to go.

    I hope she has a family, and they still have a house…. It makes us realise how fragile is the existence we all lead…. and reminds us not to base it solely on material things.

    It’s just that … well, I guess we all sometimes realise later that we really put our foot in our mouths.

    So… what do I say when Thelma comes in for her next color and perm?

    "Hi Thelma… how did those strainers fi er…. work out? Saaay…. did you want to go blonde this time instead of purple?Oh… no reason.

    I was just Wagnering … I mean wondering…. "

    Stormy was big for a female, up to 12 lbs at her heaviest, but usually about 8 lbs.Mua, on the other hand, a male cat, weighed almost 29 lbs at his heaviest, but went down to about 15 lbs. on a diet.
