I'm a storyteller, a keeper of memories. My tweet-blog juxtaposes what I incessantly chatter about w/ what I rarely vocalize. Shy duality: voluble & reticent.

I am day 64 of a 100 project. My goal: experiment with paper sizes. For variety, 100 days divided by 4 seasons. I am also exploring techniques, switching how I hold the paint brush, looser brush strokes, some mixed media or collage. #painting #acrylics #beingcreative

Sunday I re-read Joan Hess's The Goodbye, Corpse. It's still an adventure on re-reads. This time I was sort of studying the dialog of certain characters. #books #50bookchallenge2022

We have snow! It is on cars, plants, balconies, and roofs. So far, it isn't accumulating in the parking lot, etc. But we expect a few more hours of light snow. Who knows?

This afternoon, I added 3 novels to an empty Little Free Library... just in case someone needed a book to gift. Or one to read on the holiday weekend.

Another #ChristmasEve without feasting on #SevenFishes. Did consider ordering pizza. Instead I had a chicken thigh, baked potato, and cooked spinach. #whatsfordinner #MerryChristmasEve

I caught the l ast hour of #ItsAWonderfulLife Still frustrated that Potter keeps the misplaced deposit. And his assistant stays silent. Like the #guardianangel. Cry when friends show up to help.

I got my Pfizer booster shot this afternoon. Grateful for a ride thru the UAMS outdoor clinic. Smiled to receive a child band-aid.
