Sewing


I did two things today...made a pouch protector from felt for my iPhone and one for Randy's iPod and sewed little winter jackets for my Sonorran Desert cacti on the porch that have to stay outside.

Rock Climbing in Zion

VINTAGE: Most excellent rock star pants from 2003
For the first time in almost a year, I went climbing....It felt great! After MSM, Ibuprofen, hot tub, Icy Hot and a tennis ball I made sure the injury wouldn't give me any trouble. Hopefully next time I can let off a little on the medicating and nervous over-concern that I wouldn't stimulate another "cracker" of a headache (the unfortunate side effect of the injury).

Genealogy

I'm working on a history of both my Dad and Mom who emigrated from Germany separately, although my Dad did sponsor my Mom. Both came through Ellis Island, Dad in 1952 and Mom in 1957. While difficult for my Mom to recount, she was willing to comply while visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you, Mom.

Gorgeous color and an inspiring design from Martha Stewart magazine. Pumpkins are magical! I recently attended a wedding where the father of the bride built her a white pumpkin carriage and added his unique sense of humor by using his touring motorcycle as the horsepower to pull it. Very creative and a beautiful gesture by Dad.

Great Article About Art & Climbing in THE ALPINIST Magazine

There is a very nice piece ("Still on the Easel") about creating art and how it affects your climbing ability. I am in complete agreement. Both require immense observation and influence one another. Words and Images by John Svenson.http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP36
