August Begins with a Bang!

| August 4, 2008

We had a great trip “up North” over the weekend, including seeing lots of cousins at the reunion. We were especially blessed to see Judy, M-in-L’s neighbor, who dropped over Saturday. While you’re saying your prayers, please include her. She’s a tough gal, but she’s having more than her share of challenges these days. There [...]

It Doesn’t Take Much to Entertain Us

| July 12, 2008

I was at Google Maps calculating the time it will take us to drive over to meet D2 tomorrow and retrieve our three young grandchildren, when I noticed that Google has a “Walking Directions” function. Beta, of course. We noted the time that it would take to “walk it”, 1 day, 6 hours, and it [...]

Home Again

| July 8, 2008

Papa and I arrived home a couple of days ago, after a tour that included 3 bluegrass festivals, 2 quick stops at home, 3 grandchildren, a couple of rainstorms, and a bunch of fun. First, the bluegrass, the reason for the tour. We attended the Hart Brothers Festival near Guysville, Ohio. Had a great time, [...]

Back at It, Whatever it Is

| May 29, 2008

Papa and I had a nice Memorial Day holiday,  We spend a few days with Papa’s mother, as we do each year.  We visited the cemeteries where our departed family members are buried, and brought plants and flowers.  We drove around our old stomping grounds and looked for changes and improvements.  We stopped at every [...]

Tour D’ Meeee-sheeee–gan

| May 22, 2008

OK, it’s a weak title, but it is all I have! I left Tuesday afternoon and drove from here to here. If you look at the scrolling heading in my old hometown of Cadillac, then you will see a photograph of this place. My Dad ran a Funeral Home there from 1958 to 1979. Then [...]

A Little Road Trip

| April 29, 2008

Papa and I are leaving to day for a little trip to Georgia, and the Lewis Family Festival.  We have attended this show several times.  We didn’t go last year, since Mom was so sick.  I remember she asked me when we were leaving, and she seemed sad to think she might have caused us to [...]

Off to the Library

| March 17, 2008

So Papa has to go to a meeting tomorrow, and I’m riding along.  Mainly it’s to be sure we use the coupon we have for dinner at a place we sometimes stop.  I sure wish that we’d get coupons for local restaurants…  I guess I need to work harder on that. The van has to [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

| March 3, 2008

It’s warmer, but rainy today.  The ice is mostly melted off the driveway, but some water is still backing up into the garage.  I tried ice melter, and chopping, but we really need more warm weather.  The forecast is for ice and snow.  Again. GS3 is 9 today!  I believe I was in Juarez when [...]

I LIKE IT…..

| February 18, 2008

What a weekend!  I did mention the camper show, didn’t I?  We went and I’m still thinking about some of what we saw.  It’s a dangerous place, because of course, we want  (or perhaps I want) a new one.  I’ve reached a stage in my life where I seem to know enough to look only at [...]

A Fine Weekend

| February 11, 2008

We had a fine weekend, in spite of the miserable weather.  We went “up North” on Friday night, arriving at M-in-L’s home about 9:30.  She was waiting up, good thing it didn’t take any longer.  If you really care, this is one some people think about the geography around here. ( if you read that [...]
