Happy Father’s Day, Mom

This Sunday is Father’s Day. Last week, my father finished paying child support. My parents divorced 25 years ago. Eric (we’re not close; I haven’t talked to him in at least 10 years) was supposed to help support me, my brother and my sister financially.

Cooler weather means two things: It’s time to make a pot of chili (done) and get crafty. I crochet. Or I used to; I haven’t made anything for a few years. I’ve already finished a blanket I started a couple of years ago, and started another. It’s something of a family tradition, I suppose, although… Continue reading Step away from the yarn
