Mary Cartledgehayes: The Monsters under Some Beds
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-monsters-under-some-beds.html
October 2, 2012. The Monsters under Some Beds. Say hello to Laramie, the Chihuahua mix we got from the Kentucky Humane Society on the next-to-the-last-day of my high dose radiation for breast cancer. We adopted her because when I woke up the day after my surgery my first thought was, "I need to get a Chihuahua." And so it came to pass. The White House was lit up in pink, for God's sake. I've been on edge about the topic since last week, when two different magazines came to hand in which the editors whing...

Mary Cartledgehayes: Best Present Ever!
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/10/best-present-ever.html
October 12, 2012. Last weekend, I was thinking about my older daughter's birthday, on 10/11/12. Her daughter, Lizzie, is off for her first semester at college, and I was remembering how I seemed to rattle around the house when my daughter left. Something was just . . . missing. I decided my girl needed December Angel more than I did. Here's where the "best present ever! And inside the card I wrote, "Someone to keep you company until your own December angel comes dancing home.". Aww that sounds wonderful!

Mary Cartledgehayes: 2013 - A Year to Savor
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013-year-to-savor.html
January 6, 2013. 2013 - A Year to Savor. A friend has picked out one word to focus on for each of the last few years. This time, I decided to follow her example. My word for the year? That brings us again to savor. Which, it seems, to me, is the antonym of resent. No eating between meals. After putting your meal on your plate, scrape half of it onto another plate to eat the next day. That's pretty much it. I also did join a wonderful site called Bitch Yourself Thin. Much, much love to you. Subscribe to: ...

Mary Cartledgehayes: Stylin' and Profilin' with Old McDonald
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/07/stylin-and-profilin-with-old-mcdonald.html
July 6, 2012. Stylin' and Profilin' with Old McDonald. Here are some of the fabrics for the new picnic blanket (a. k. a. pieced quilt) I started this week for a friend. I was zooming along with the construction when my compadre asked if I'd seen the friend's latest post on facebook. Turns out she'd told her daughter's adoring public about all of the animal sounds the toddler can make now. Yes, I'd heard correctly. He thought I should put all of the animals the little girl knows onto her mom's quilt.

July 20, 2012. I love the photos I took this spring, but I love them even more when I've captioned them. Another stiking photo. The colors are so vibrant! Love the captioning of them. Great idea. July 25, 2012 at 2:50 PM. Thank you, Winnie. It was a perfect morning for taking photos; and I was in a luscious environment. The captioning makes me happy. : ). July 26, 2012 at 9:35 AM.

Mary Cartledgehayes: I made this just for you.
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-made-this-just-for-you.html
July 19, 2012. I made this just for you. For the first time. Such a beautiful picture. I love how you captured the drops on the petals! What a a great quote! July 20, 2012 at 10:05 AM. Thank you so much, Winnie. I went to a peony festival at a local historic site this spring and spent hours taking pictures. Finally learning how to add text to a photo - which turns out to be not complicated - is exciting. July 20, 2012 at 10:49 AM. October 7, 2012 at 10:02 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mary Cartledgehayes: Housekeeping Update
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/08/housekeeping-is-for-birds.html
August 8, 2012. I've been fabulously busy doing incredibly interesting things, like mopping the kitchen floor and loading the dishwasher every day. Brushing our yellow Lab once a day is keeping the dust bunny/hippopotamus situation under control; and figuring out supper every night - my, that's just oceans of fun.

Mary Cartledgehayes: Middle Bass Island Grade School, Spring 1960
http://marycartledgehayes.blogspot.com/2012/08/middle-bass-island-grade-school-spring.html
August 10, 2012. Middle Bass Island Grade School, Spring 1960. Here we are, the total school population of Middle Bass Island Grade School, circa spring 1960. From left: Karen Kuemmel, Douglas Cartledge, Amy Cartledge, Mary Joanna Cartledge, and, in the foreground, Carolyn Riddle. The answer is lost in memory, as is the answer to the question of how my mother, who was fastidious about the way her children dressed, let me out of the house with my petticoat showing. We aren't wearing the white gloves t...
