Granny Tells You What's Going On

The New Rain Barrels

| May 17, 2012

ХудожникподаръциLast fall Papa and I collected a few rain barrels. We hoped to give the plants rain water as much as possible, and lower our water bill in the process. This designer model was a Mother’s Day gift from D3 a few years back, and it has been getting a workout ever since it arrived. [...]

The End of An Era

| February 16, 2012

ХудожникThat seems profound, but it is all I have to describe what is happening here at Granny’s. As his Facebook friends know well, the count down is underway and Papa will retire soon. After today, there are exactly 8 days remaining in his career at Avon Automotive. When he started working there in December, 1977, [...]

Back to Blogging?

| January 11, 2012

Богородица We are approaching a milestone here at Granny’s. Papa’s retirement date is set, and he will be under my feet here at home helping me in the near future. This is a good thing, he has always been a hard worker, and it is time for a little rest. Life in the slow lane, [...]

What is Really Happening

| June 2, 2011

иконографияКартинимека мебел Wow, too much to relate here. I have spent some time just thinking. What is important, what I should do first, second and so on. I was sick for a while, thankfully that is in the past. It did make me think even more, however. Our daughters are moving on, to places of [...]

What’s Shaking, Granny?

| May 10, 2011

My little corner of the world is undergoing some changes. One of our daughters moved into an apartment last week, leaving an empty space in our home. I wiped up and swept up the rooms, and began moving books, magazines, and other items belonging to the genealogical society into the empty space. It was a [...]

Just a Quick Road Trip

| March 9, 2011

We are headed down to Maumee, Ohio tomorrow to see Lost & Found in concert. If you aren’t familiar with Lost & Found start with this video: There are a bunch more videos on YouTube, but why settle for them, when you can see the real thing? Lost & Found are one of our favorites, [...]

What You Doin’ Anyway?

| March 3, 2011

What in the world have you been doing? Well, a lot of things, and most of them take more time than I expect. Thing One? Well, the flyer for Pickin’ on CF is finished. I also updated the CMS on that page today. Anything else? One more that I will mention today. We are having [...]

Sad and Pathetic — My Little Rant

| February 23, 2011

This morning, I headed over to my feed reader for a quick look at the headlines. The sad reality that the library in my city, Troy, Michigan, will be closing on May first was the first thing to greet me. Tweets showing that the Libraries in Birmingham and Rochester Hills will not serve Troy residents, [...]

Long Gone

| February 18, 2011

Yes, I have been MIA. I am back, but probably not as regularly as I should be. What is up? Life, I guess. I haven’t accomplished as much as I would like this winter, but something about the touch of spring we have had lately has energized me. Not all the way to “Energizer Bunny” [...]
