Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane.
The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So… no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn’t want to go out either…. which made me… and them a little crazy.
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
But I got up and dressed up anyway. Because that is what I committed to doing. And it is only day 18….
What’s in store today:
Actually, I was pretty busy, all considered. I had my first lesson for Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, and learned a little dance combination. Then I filmed my feet doing it, and made a blog page — you can see it HERE.
Then I spent pretty much the rest of the day pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why some photos on my blog were loading and some were not…
Problem solved. At this rate, I should look into a wig.
Here’s what I came up with for today!
I threw an oversized JJill Chambray shirt over Woolamina. I like the mandarin collar, and monkey fist knotted buttons. And the length hides all manner of sins.Bracelet was from a trip to Mexico a few years back.
Little embroidered bandolier bag was from Amazon. I think I got it for Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara. Under $13 — holds a lot more than it looks. Click HERE for more.
Me… getting photobombed by the dogs… oh well. I need to do some posts with knitting projects!
(Have you seen my knitting page.??)
Virgin of Guadalupe pendant. I may have gotten that at the Grotto in Portland. Amazing grounds and sanctuary. ANd the gift shop is great.
The Dude is officially back from Helping #1. His job is done there, and I was missing having him at the beach. I am not so sure he was missing Rainey too much… although Rainey and I were in Portland everyweek.
WHEW!
The Dude is just a cranky old man dog… always has been. And Rainey likes to play… all the time, running around all cray-cray, pulling the pillows and blankets off everything, and crewing on Dude’s feet.

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 16: fields of gold
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky, when we walk the fields of gold. Sting said it all, on this amazing song. Tomorrow, I'll cross my own field of gold and I head down to take a look at the ever-changing coastline that is my beach. Pretty amazing.For those of...
day 15: long way home
"Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home." Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the "long way" is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one's way. No matter, it's a great...
day 14: blinded by the light
Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia... you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation... and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn...
day 13: best shot
Hit me with your best shot... right in the left arm. And then "hit" Number 1. Because both of us rolled up our sleeves for the covid vaccine today. And... It was pretty painless. Glad that is out of the way. Next dose in about two weeks.For those of you just...
day12: left foot in
You put your left foot in.... you put your left foot out....and you know how the rest goes. Pretty soon you are doing the hokey- pokey, transformed back to the rollercade. My days of skating are long past, but yoga is a bit of "put your left foot in" -- at least for...
days 10 & 11: our house
I love our house -- which is, by the way, a 24' rv. I live here with my two dogs, on the beach in SW Washingon. And, although I spend a lot of time in Portland, where my daughter lives, this is our house. I look at it as trading REAL estate for WHEEL estate. Made...
Love your newest journey! What fun! You did a great job with your first listen. I think you got it, gurl!
Thanks, Denise!! I had a ton of fun!!
