- Amazon is changing its terms. Now, if you want Prime, you cannot hitchhike on your sister’s account or your mom’s or your daughter’s or. . . but we are going to wait and see if this actually happens, because Amazon didn’t publicize the change. I heard it through the grapevine (Remember that song? The full-length version was 11 minutes.)
2. AT&T is so awful. I have known this for a long time, but it got driven home again when I got a letter from a collection agency saying I owe $666 for a phone number that they NEVER activated, I NEVER had or used (because how can you use something you don’t have?), and they NEVER billed me for it. I’ve wasted so much time on the phone and writing letters, and wasted money sending the letters in a manner that the collection agency cannot lie about receiving them.
3. Seeing the Supernatural by Lee Strobel is so fascinating and weirdly believable. The premise is that there is an unseen world that DOES exist and there are countless stories which are corroborated by evidence. It’s not about UFOs; it is about real miracles, dreams, angels, deathbed wishes, and near-death experiences.
4. Check out these pumpkin harvest photos: it’s like a grown-up Easter egg hunt. (I wonder if my painting needs revision again.)
5. Tony’s Taverna in Three Rivers is finally open!! It took four years to go from buying an old building to making a fabulous Greek restaurant. The food is so good that I wanted to lick the plate, but I found a little restraint and was able to maintain dignity.
6. Through an online friend I’ve never met (Hi WilliamB!), I learned about an organization called Foster Care to Success, which helps kids who have aged out of foster care. They have an annual red scarf project, which caused me to immediately abandon my severe ongoing yarn diet and order enough yarn to knit 2 scarves.

I love your yarn painting! That’s awful about AT&T! The pumpkins are too fabulous. I want to be in a pumpkin field right now!
Michelle, thank you for the compliment! I am very frustrated by AT&T, just wasting my time and money. Can you grow pumpkins in Montana?
1. Why doesn’t your mother/sister/friend order something on Amazon Prime and have it shipped to you?
2. $666? Hmmmm, sounds rather devilish to me! You have the option of sending letters with “return receipt required” which would prove delivery. Costs more, of course! Is Spectrum an option? I’ve had great service with them on my cell phone.
5. I dunno, it just seems that ginormous building is out of character for a rural mountain community. You know, like putting a massive ski resort in the Mineral King Valley?
6. Sounds like a great cause! Do they accept all colors, or just red?
1. It’s complicated. It is our hope that Amazon will realize that they have created difficulties. Mother/sister/friend could order something and have it shipped to me. They’d have to pay for my stuff, or I’d have to reship the stuff to them. Hasslesome, expensive. Amazon wants every household to pray for Prime.
2. I thought the same about that amount. It is about $7 every time I send the collection agency a letter. We only used AT&T for the cabin and had nothing since December 2022. We have Spectrum at home, and my cell is another company.
5. Fancy pants indeed. Just had lunch there, which was about the same as from their food truck, only it was served at a table on china.
6. Only red, but burgundy qualifies, as do stripes with red.
