And an afternoon lost to tiramisu

What did I do this week? I really don't know. Not much weaving, I think, though I am down to four bobbins to finish. A morning or afternoon's work. Perhaps tomorrow I'll finish. I really like this color. Grass Green. Or maybe Green Grass. Good color.


I discovered movies on Netflix (while I wait for the next season of The Crown!). Over the last two days I watched The Help. It was decent for the time, but no more. I'll start looking for films I didn't see, which is most of them.

I did make another watch order, and it came in. This time I bought a Koretrak. It's reviews were first rate. We'll see. It is all about my electronic ignorance. Says plug it into my USB. I know what that means, but I have no USB like it.

Furthermore, I've never seen a port like this needs. I did some serious internet searching and decided I need a mini USB port. But where to get one? And it came to me. The phone store. They'll see me tomorrow.


Laura came Friday, to go to lunch with Cathy and me, "like old times." She came in with a large mouth mason jar of flowers. She told her client she was going to Peninsula to go to lunch with gramma, and the woman was so charmed she took Laura through the garden to pick a bouquet.


Lovely, isn't it. The three of us went to a bar/restaurant, and for dessert I had tiramisu, well soaked in rum. All I did in the afternoon was lift the flowers from the mason jar and move them to a vase.

  1. I love tiramisu, and those flowers! That green is beautiful. Blue is my favorite color, but I also like violet purple and green.

  2. Those flowers are lovely. I remember my own grandmother's flower gardens and how she could go out and in 5 min. have a huge bouquet of cut flowers to grace her dining room table. Nice!

    1. Nor I. But according to the web, that's the ticket.

  9. What a beautiful bouquet! And Laura is looking lovely too. I like tiramisu, but not too often. Maybe once a year is enough.

  14. After tiramisu soaked in rum it's probably a good thing you didn't attempt much else - especially if it needed hand/eye coordination!

  15. I think the phone shop should be able to sell you a converter.

    1. Yes, It's a comfortable little store. All the electronics stores are in huge shopping malls, and may all be out of business, for all I know of them.

  16. Beautiful flowers! Cold weather is creeping up on us here in VT. Gardening will soon be done for the year.
    So sweet that Laura came for a visit. Things seems to be turning around.

  18. that is a nice color. I like it too but then green is in my top three favorites. how nice that Laura has gotten over her snit about Gramma. I know it was very testy those last several months before she moved back to her mother's.

    1. Tough lesson. Her mother actually threw her out. She's with a family friend. She may not have an easy life. But not worse than most, I hope.

    2. She has your teachings to help her through.

  22. Yes, that's the green of new grass with the sun on it. Love it.
    I have a granddaughter who isn't speaking to us. Poor thing. All the other's do. I hope mine wakes up like yours did.

  26. Oh gosh! I love tiramisu. Haven't had it in a long time. You went to a restaurant. It's all take-out over here. We're watching Netflix nearly every night. Sigh...
