Share a Square 2010 Afghan Square

The folks at the Post Office are wondering about the packages that I juggle as I leave each day. They have no idea that inside are lovely crocheted squares (6' x 6') from around the world that will be made into afghans for children at a cancer camp next summer.  We did this before in 2008; "hookers" united from across the world to make 150 afghans for the children of Camp Sanguinity.  So far this year 1,413 squares have arrived for Share A Square 2010 (a little more than a tenth of what will eventually be joined together).  We need more!  Read more >

Is GoodSearch a good choice as a search engine?

I don’t know about y’all, but at my house, the word “google” quickly became a verb.  If I look for something on the Internet, I “google it;”  it doesn’t matter which search engine I use.  Since I've found GoodSearch, I may have to find a new verb.  Google, Yahoo, or Bing have been my search engines of choice for a long time.  Since I discovered GoodSearch I've decided it’s what I’m going to use until eternity.  Read more >

My Ringtone Got Me In Trouble

Amazed at the number of available ringtones for my cell phone, I still didn't change many of them. I wouldn't be able to keep up with who was calling, because I don't have a very good memory.  Read more >

Oh, Baby! Those shower invitations have changed!

An invitation for a baby shower came in the mail, and I was a bit taken aback when I opened it.  This wasn't the pastel, cutesy Hallmark card that I expected.  It was a photograph which seemed to be just a dark mass ... a brown blob.  Closer inspection made me realize that it was a copy of an ultrasound and I was eyeing an embryo.  I'm still not sure how I feel about that.  Is that the trend these days?   Read more >

About Me: 

Blogging was supposed to be a cure for my addiction to playing on-line mahjongg.  Instead, it became a new addiction!

I'm a 5th generation Texan (though I don't brag about it much), and I "spin yarns" both literally and figuratively. The kids are grown and scattered across the country, so my husband and I find ourselves in an empty nest.  It's not really "empty," because we are confirmed packrats, and are the domestic servants to five"fe-lions."

 Come join me at This Eclectic Life, where I talk about the things I love: vintage shopping, reading, traveling through Texas (and beyond), bacon, and whatever comes into my head at 4:30 in the morning. 

Profession: 
storyteller -- no REALLY
