Hat on Top, Coat Below

Welcome! I'm Karen (a.k.a. KarenD, because Karen was the third most popular name for girls in the decade of my birth, and there's usually more than one around wherever I am). My about me page spells out some of the wheres and whats of my life, but the short list is: Idaho, retired, interests include hiking, quilting, knitting, skiing downhill, traveling, cheese, staying married. I document my obsession with nail polish on Frazzle and Aniploish.
NOTE: You may notice a few wonky pages, notably in my archives, as I've yet to find a replacement for the plugin I used to use that failed in early 2023. A few other pages didn't transition gracefully to the transition to HTTPS. I might get arond to fixing those problems one day. In the meantime, the entry pages are working just fine.
