As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them are rushing to get va

 Before the pandemic hit and all hell broke loose, I took my usual spring break trip to Boston.  I left on March 6, after spending a few days in KC watching Emma and returned on March 10 (spring break week at K-State).  At that time we were starting to hear about COVID and COVID cases in the US. I had noticed flying out there that the planes weren't very full.

The airports were much less busier.  I was only in the office for less than one week.  During that week we watched major univerist

 WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't.  I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up.  Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post.  Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?"  Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels??  That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats".   What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again.   I am really not too far off si
