joannamauselina: February 2015
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. A Fun Reading Day. I just can’t seem to get away from our runs to the U District. But this is really pretty tangential. Once I get into really high whine mode, we slow down and smell the roses, so to speak. In other words, we stop and look around in our favorite book stores. The first one we come to is Magus Books. Which always has a bargain book rack on the sidewalk in front. We usually check over the current selection, and for the most part snobbily sneer at the offerings.

joannamauselina: A Mysterious Cooking Day
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-mysterious-cooking-day.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. A Mysterious Cooking Day. Me having a great time in Europe. When, as a teen ager, I was traveling. Around Europe, I only wrote to my parents when I was overcome with homesickness. When I was having a great time, (see photo) I seldom gave them a thought. Later, as a parent myself and understanding parental worries, when my little family spent a year in Ireland, I wrote faithfully at least once a week. I guess that summarizes my current trouble blogging. Abrupt change of subject: :.

joannamauselina: April 2015
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Ou can see that Bunny is a beauty, and she indeed does have spirit – much like that of Gloria Swanson or Joan Crawford (or at least their public personas) – a diva to her core. It was apparent from the start that Bunny resented having to visit Tobias and me. He hissed at poor. Tobias every time he tried to be affectionate, and would not give me the time of day. But her mood was always a bit labile, and her bitterness continued! The most awful shock! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

joannamauselina: August 2015
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 20, 2015. Dakki on a healthy day. In the last post, I mentioned that I had postponed the trimming of the auntly toenails. I made a date to have lunch and give a pedicure (of sorts) to my Aunt Pauline, and then planned to go to Dakki’s house and help her with a recalcitrant fingernail. As Pauline and I sipped our tomato soup, she mentioned that Dakki, whom I had tried to telephone earlier, had …. well, the trots. So, true to form, I was horrified. I called Dakki, and got no answer. They&#...

joannamauselina: Memorial Day
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015/05/memorial-day.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. Here is the final resting place of my parents, my sister, my grandparents, great-grandparents, great-aunties and uncles, dear Tom, and there is a little spot waiting for me. I hope it will be waiting for a very long time! May 25, 2015 at 11:32 PM. June 2, 2015 at 2:32 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am an orthopedic nurse, a knitter, an alto in a fabulous choir, a reader of trashy novels, but most importantly, a mother and grandmother. View my complete profile.

joannamauselina: Bloomsday
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015/06/bloomsday.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. About a thousand years ago, my Aunt Dakki and I were attending the opera. As we anxiously waited in our seats for the performance to begin, I said conversationally, "I have only ten pages of Ulysses. Left to read." She replied, "Oh! How is it so far? Dakki looks just like Marilyn Monroe in that picture! June 16, 2015 at 10:15 PM. June 17, 2015 at 6:07 AM. One of these decades I might tackle that one again. I never did make it all the way through it. June 19, 2015 at 3:18 PM.

joannamauselina: September 2014
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. A Birthday and a Fair Day. What to do for Becca’s Birthday? Rachael opted for Mount Rainier or the Olympic peninsula, but I pointed that we would not have time to drive either place, since I couldn’t start till after Mass and that would be lateish. Those were start-at-the-crack-of-dawn destinations. Well, the Fair was on its last day, and they both LOVE the fair. But I put on my happy face, and off we went. One really important Fair activity:. And the truly Weird! Tuesday, Sep...

joannamauselina: November 2014
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Darling Dakki is ninety! And very spry, especially given that her lifestyle totally defies modern wisdom regarding a safe. Conveyance to a healthy old age. Her main exercise (for the last fifty years at least) has been getting up, walking to the breakfast table, then to her car, driving to church, then again to the table to read her newspaper and books, do the crossword, etc., until she finally ambles back to bed. And her diet gives hope to all. I think this may be true.

joannamauselina: A Sunday Morning Ritual
http://joammamauselina.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-sunday-morning-ritual.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. A Sunday Morning Ritual. A Sunday morning years ago. It’s been a while. I haven’t abandoned you, Faithful Readers. It’s just that…. well, I don’t know what. Retired folk are always so busy, I’ve heard, and it seems to be true. This doesn’t make sense. When I was a working woman, I was a fairly faithful blogger. Now that I’m not, well - I’m not. But what have I been doing? I don’t even know. Just stuff, I guess. Here is one bit of the stuff- -. Then we switched parishes, joined a...
