Lump In My Throat...
I'm crying, too.
This just makes me miss my beloved Pa all the more...he became my dad when I was 2. He has been gone 16 years now, but I think of him and The Mama so often. He would have loved this home we've made.
Love you, Pa and Ma. See you soon.

First Day of Spring
...technically speaking, that is.
We've got cold temps and gray skies. Maybe Fort Garland just didn't get the message yet.
But I do have one green bunching onion sprig showing up in the garden bed! It was 17 degrees at one point last night... I hope it survives.

Or should there be a dash in this sentence??

They're Back!
Our long-overdue astronauts are finally safe on Planet Earth.
Thank God.
Here's the full story.

Monday Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Work Work Work
Then play?
We'll see, once these reports are in the mail.
(Stand by next week for a big announcement in the life of the Bricks. Yes, besides the pups.)
Meanwhile:
An astronaut seeing UFOs, and not reporting them publicly? Edgar Mitchell's wife says so.
President Biden didn't just leave office -- he left a lot of bills behind. And they need to be paid.
'I sold everything in order to move to Scotland -- and live in a storage container'. Not making this up, folks.
Is this Lake Powell story a mystery -- or a hoax?
Clovia points -- but they were found in eastern Colorado in 1978. All sorts of stone tools, petroglyphs here, as well. I have a friend who swears there are petroglyphs on his property near San Luis -- I'm looking forward to seeing them myself in a month or so.
Rare old masters paintings are coming up for auction! (Not that we can afford any of these, but still...)
Did he know -- or didn't he? That's going to be a huge question. (And is an autopen signature legal, anyways?)
'Easy ways to make money.' (Okay, some of these are pretty weird.)
Ever wondered what a Spanish gold ingot looks like? here one is...
No more free bags on Southwest Airlines! Sigh...
One hundred days, living with an artificial heart, until a transplant became available. And the patient is said to be "recovering well" with his new heart. Amazing!
The first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster reported this year. (Either that, or it's a Really Big eel, viewers are saying. Beats the heck out of me.)
An 1892 shipwreck mystery on Lake Superior is finally solved. The Western Reserve has been found -- 600 feet down, off Whitefish Point.
A 'huge' list of celebrities relocating to other countries because of... you know who. The million-dollar questions: Will they actually do it? And do they know what kind of taxes other countries, particularly the UK, charge? Good luck, and Godspeed.
Have a great week.(Yes, it's windy here. Big-time.)

I really don't understand this. But from Julie Silber's FB page, here's the mention of Laura Shaw's quilt-- Following CENSO...

What a July -- a huge amount of credit card bills, thanks to truck repairs and the letters . Hot weather: on one trip north, we experience...

I loved this cheerful, engaging quilt when it first was publicized in 1994. Jonathan Shannon used a two-pronged approach: it celebrate...
