Last fall, I hauled out a cool game that I remembered from my youth, so I could enjoy it wth GD1. She had great small muscle coordination, but she couldn’t manage both the ball and the jacks at that time. I put it away after she left, but one of the 10 jacks was missing. Oh …

It’s way too complicated to expain, but I got myself in over my head yesterday. I’m finally treading water this afternoon. I returned our three little grandchildren to their parents in the morning, and returned home with a van full of items. It’s enough to say that It probably could have been stored as is, …

I’m getting many spam comments each day, too many to go through. So, if you comment and don’t see it, it was probably deleted. send me an e-mail, or use the contact form on my site, and I’ll work on the filters. After I sweep the floor again.
