Look! It’s Chassell.
Yes, that’s right folks, this is a map of downtown Chassell, where I grew up. Okay, I didn’t actually grow up in Chassell, my parents’ house is outside of Chassell, on Paradise Road. Anyway, for those who’ve wondered how big the town is (anyone?), here’s a street map of the place. Check out Google Maps.…

Plumbed
The garbage disposal unit in our sink was leaking. I did not know it, really, until about three weeks ago (Self: Yeah, so why didn’t you fix it then. Self: Can it.) I finally realized it one day when I opened up the cupboard beneath the sink to get a garbage bag, and I smelled…

Truly, this is Chey’s daughter.

CBS News: 5 killed in shootout among deer hunters
5 killed in shootout among deer hunters Um. You’ve got to be kidding. This is ridiculously tragic. Folks in Northwestern Wisconsin will be talking about this for years to come. My reaction? First, be polite to people who carry loaded guns and this sort of thing shouldn’t happen, right? Right? Or, maybe the suspect is…

Oh, the places you’ll go!
SOOOO. . .Katie said to me today: “You are so obsessed. It’s cute.” I’m not sure how to take that, but, of course, we were at the yarn shop. I finished Mary Defrees little hat. It is designed by Chey and CUTE CUTE CUTE! YUP! and I made it. All by myself. Aren’t you proud?…
