Welcome to the US Virigin Islands 2025 Page-a-Day calendar!
We began our journey with a relaxing overnight in Chicago, and landed in lovely St. Thomas on Sunday. Our dinner included conch fritters and the first pair of many, many rum cocktails to come.
Oh, you may notice a strawberry mojito in the background. That was for Xopher. The two rum cocktails are for me.
I don’t wish to jinx myself, but it just may be remotely possible that perhaps we will be on our way to our vacation destination tomorrow.
“[C]ontrary to what some so-called experts believe, I don’t constantly ‘re-invent’ myself – I was there from the beginning.”
I do love weaving… I also love beading… and making yarn.
Better days are just ahead.
I told Xopher that my unusual color scheme was meant to suggest the Pacific Northwest. He pulled out one of our many fine reference books to confirm my instincts.
I haven’t started the weaving because I changed course and decided I had to spin ALL my weft colors first.
This year X is going to help me put up chicken wire to keep the bunnies out.

by Joan Didion
I don’t know why I read this. It’s about the year after Joan Didion’s husband died and her adult daughter hovered near death in various ICU’s. The “magical thinking” was semi-conscious thinking like “I can’t give away his shoes; if he comes back, he’ll need shoes.” I have not yet lost my spouse and I don’t know what to say about it; I guess, thanx for the tip as to how horrible it’s going to be.
