Patrice Jetter is a force of nature. She’s joyous in her clothes and her hobbies (sewing, painting, model railroading) and her confidence in small acts of kindness. She found love with Garry Wickham and they want to marry. They can’t afford to because they’re both disabled. Marriage would end their access to US Federal health insurance and income support.
I celebrated my 65th birthday with a boat ride! Thanks to Fayth Kail and other polio warriors, the Madison School-Community Recreation service has three wheelchair accessible pontoon boats. Cloudy and breezy and fresh! We’d hoped to fill a boat with lots of pals, but were limited to just six people.
MyGuy gave me the perfect present -- thanks to the strings fore and aft, my new hat stays on even when traveling 15 knots on a windy day.

killing_rose: we went back and forth with pictures four or six times, and the result is even better than I'd hoped for.sasha_feather for the pictures!littlebutfierce, who organized a midwinter gift exchange that lifted my spirits like a great big hot air balloon. raanve's name. Yesterday I received the most lovely hat, made by her very own hands! It's perfect across many dimensions.raanve knitted it with SWTC Karaoke SOYSILK®/Wool which is amazingly soft and beautifully colorful. I've been playing with reds and browns this year, and raanve somehow chose those colors, complemented by a mellow charcoal. raanve!branchandroot
