Childless cat lady, reader, crafter (also crafty), board gamer, lover of live theater, retired teacher... I like to stay home, pet the cats, watch my aquarium, feed the wild birds (and opossums), listen to music, and relax.https://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3mwmrgs2jqs2t@norwoodeye.bsky.social I hereby apologize for giving away that Odysseus makes it home to Penelope! I thought a few millennia nullified spoilers...😉 But for anything less than that, block them, for sure!29 Sep 2026 02:22 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwmrgs2jqs2thttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3mvhmlb3nbc2aSaw "Reykjavik86" @dallastheatercenter on Sunday. World premiere play based on the Reagan/Gorbachev talks that came close to a huge nuclear disarmament agreement, but ultimately fell apart. The show was excellent: funny, historical, and full of great performances. Wonderful show!14 Sep 2026 07:46 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvhmlb3nbc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3mif72adpjk26Saw the fabulous production of Ragtime at Dallas Theater Center this weekend!

They are the best! (Both the cats and the scratcher/toy/bed combo!)

First of their shows I've been to in a few years and it did not disappoint! Now I need to get my ticket for their production of Guys and Dolls in August!13 Apr 2025 23:36 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmq7og2pz22shttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3ljjmul2fxs24My 2 favorite desk accessories...04 Mar 2025 04:28 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljjmul2fxs24https://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3ljgl7ivkts2ySaw Hadestown (touring) at Dallas Fair Park today - fabulous! Great cast, music, and an enthusiastic crowd! I highly recommend it! Also try the buffet at the Crystal Terrace before the show - delicious and a relaxing start to your outing! And getting there that early you end up with good parking!02 Mar 2025 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljgl7ivkts2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3lie7s75buk27Saw "Shane" today at Dallas Theater Center and thoroughly enjoyed it! Karen Zacarias' adaptation brought new layers to an old classic western. This is why I have season tickets: to see great shows I would have overlooked otherwise. Dallas Theater Center never disappoints! #TheaterBSKY17 Feb 2025 07:26 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3lie7s75buk27https://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3lcdjaef6ic2zJust finished Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon and highly recommend it! Old woman stays behind when planet is evacuated and starts as a kind of survival story but morphs into first contact story. Just kept getting better and better.🪐📚02 Dec 2024 16:11 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcdjaef6ic2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3lbxnvj2yi224Can anyone help me identify this bird? My usual bird ID app couldn't figure it out... (Sorry for the poor quality nighttime photo. I never see this one during the day.) #birds #whatbirdisthis27 Nov 2024 23:02 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbxnvj2yi224https://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3lbvvlxftkc24The reason I could not continue my crocheting this evening... #cats #crochet #crafting27 Nov 2024 06:15 +0000at://did:plc:nvlms4pvjxcvd2phtevze2km/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbvvlxftkc24https://bsky.app/profile/craftreadrelax.bsky.social/post/3lblnvzagis2jGreat egrets nesting in trees in the middle of Dallas.

One of my new author discoveries this year was Sarah Pinsker. I've read 2 of her SF short story collections and greatly enjoyed them both.
