Amaryllis Bending Way Over!
Our Amaryllis is bending over backwards (or forwards depending on your point of view). We’re not sure if we should prop it up somehow or cut our losses and cut the stem. Any advice would be welcome.

Ugly Juggling Tricks with New Juggling Balls
I now have two brand new sets of juggling balls, green and orange. I mixed them up for a short demo of my extremely ugly juggling skills. And this includes Christmas music! Enjoy!

Is That Patty on Our Sasquatch Cribbage Board?
Sena wondered if anybody ever talks about female Sasquatch creatures. That reminded me that our Sasquatch cribbage board has an image of Bigfoot that looks familiar. I looked up the Patterson-Gimlin video on YouTube. The creature caught on video has been called Patty. If you compare Patty in the video with the image carved into…

Announcements!
Today, I almost got a 29-hand playing cribbage with Sena. Almost is kind of like a fish story about the one that got away. I got dealt a Jack of hearts, and 3 fives, the heart, club, and diamond. If the Jack of heart had been in my hand and the 5 of hearts had…

I’m Running on a Tight Schedule
Because I’m running on a tight schedule today, I’ll have to write this holiday flower-oriented post with lightning speed. There could be minor mistakes and you’ll just have to live with them. First, we need to talk about the meaning of the usual Christmas holiday flowers. One of them is the Amaryllis, about which I’ve…

Practicing for the Behind the Back Juggling Trick
I’ve been practicing for a juggling trick, the behind the back throw. For me, it’s harder than any other trick so far. And to be clear, I’m not talking about juggling the full cascade entirely behind my back—that’s for the pros. I’m just trying to toss one ball behind my back while juggling the 3-ball…

His website is 3MoonsMakerSpace and he markets the boards on Etsy. It was delivered only a couple of weeks ago. It came with pegs and deck of cards.…

Earth Shaking Announcements!
I have announcements that you don’t want to miss! We got our Sasquatch cribbage board and it is gorgeous. We hope to have a YouTube video of us playing a game in a day or two. The Amaryllis Star of Holland continues to open, almost before our eyes. It’ll probably be in full bloom before…

Updates on Amaryllis and Ugly Juggling
The Amaryllis Star of Holland opens up a little more each day. It may open before Christmas. I make do with the sticky juggling balls. They’re easily squishable and tacky enough to pick up the little granules my original juggling balls were stuffed with. Evidently, the vacuum cleaner couldn’t get them all. In the process…
