Fading fast...

Been ages since, but really need to have that subject line on my journals, just 'cause, so here I ramble.

I love twitter, but have never spent any time following something in 'real time' until yesterday when violence hit a mall in Oregon. Still staggered. Unreal. Makes me feel other.

What makes me feel connected to the world and happy is watching Mackiedockie writing in google docs. Nothing, nothing, nothing, then explosion! Words cascading down, a deluge! Preformance art, if there ever was. I'm honored to be witness. Lucky me.

Oh, and there never was a more perfect grandchild than mine.

I will just leave out the crap and call that the state of absolutely on 12.12.12.

Sitting here in my easy, drinking a bloody abomination, while listened to a new voice. Sherlock has finally started talking to me. Been able to hear John Watson for awhile, and even Mycroft. Come along now Lestrade. Welcome to my hovel boys. Mac, Joe, even Methos have stilled...watching me struggle. Good timing for good times. Two paying docs to write, that old guardbear claiming to be 'original' and finally bread crumbs cast by the detective. It's all good.

Been making soup on this cool November afternoon. Meat, potatoes, onion, broccoli, chanterelles all chopped. Herbs from the yard, bay leaf, sage and thyme added. And a nice jar of frozen beef broth, which tuned out to be an unlabeled jar of apple sauce from last fall! Laughed my butt off once I realized. Adding chili powder, and basil to compete with all that cinnamon from the sauce. Should be interesting. Steaks standing by if it turns out inedible, but the crew seem game and amused. Everyone comes out of their den to watch when the cook is laughing that hard...


I finished the first draft on my hl_shortcuts story this morning. Will cautiously add spice now...

Nice day. Started my Highlander story. Makes me grin, typing that...

Dug the last of the potatoes, and brought in the last three purple cabbages. It wasn't the best gardening year, but we persevered and harvested some good veggies. It hasn't frozen at night yet, but I'm ready.

Cooking lamb tonight with one of our Johnny squashes (an orange turban) and chantrelles.

Must wash the small dog before company arrives....
