Never

say never. I had a lesson in that this Thanksgiving.
Last year I cooked my first whole turkey. I'm over 50 and had never fixed a whole turkey before. After wrestling and fighting with the 22 lb bird to get it cleaned, seasoned and in the cooking bag ( not to mention, in the oven) I said "I am never cooking a turkey again. So, on Tuesday, what does my better half bring home? You got it, a turkey. Needless to say, I ended up cooking a turkey again this year. Saving grace, the turkey was only about 12 lbs this year. Lesson learned, never say never ( and at my age, I should already know that).

I have been out of sorts this week and didn't do a lot of blogging. I have been working on my tangles and even some of those have presented a mental challenge to me this week. I am not big on the holidays and each year they become more of a challenge for me. I just kind of muddle through and try to enjoy what I can. I love the music and the trappings, there just seems to be something lacking for me. So, if I don't blog as much for the next few weeks you'll know why.

I revisited the Diva's challenge and came up with this.

Tangles: Roel, Ripples
It's A String Thing:

String 064;Tangles: Drip Drop, Jax, Undling

  3. Hm, I'm 3rd to say that you have been 'busy', so it must be true :-)
    I especially like your String Thing tile, it's fun to see how different your and mine results are.
    Take care and try to catch some zen.
