Randomness

Another one of my family members has started a blog! My mother is writing Food Adventures etc. . I quietly put it on my sidebar a few weeks ago, but recently she stepped up and allowed one of the posts to be published on the California Bluegrass Association’s Website, so the “cat’s out of the […] more
A funk
| August 25, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I can’t believe it’s been a week since I last posted! I’m in a funk. It’s short of being in a complete torpor but definitely nothing blog worthy. Do you want to know what I’ve done? Housework and after that was done…… knitting socks – in front of the television watching the DVD season of […] more

The minimal planning actually took effort – well meaning family kept trying to pin us down and give us […] more
"John Adams" – a review
| August 17, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I read a lot of books. Very quickly – much to my friend Catherine’s dismay as she tries to keep me supplied with books. Periodically I read a book that I actually remember after I finish. “John Adams” by David McCullough will now join the ranks of my favorite books. My foray into American revolutionary […] more
Intermission

I did not fall off the face of the earth – I’m in Alabama again for work, and I have two days next week to prepare for a major audit at my plant in California. I have many great posts coming up, stay tuned and I’ll post when I can (airports/planes can be good for […] more
