The phone rang last night, and Papa said it was for me. I answered, and D2 told me that GD1 needed to talk to me. She is the 4 ½ year old, and she first visited us by herself when she was about 18 months old. We’re buddies, but she’s growing up, and I’m not. …

It’s been clear to me for a while that I am missing some spoons. The pile in the drawer in really small. I’ve complained, asked everyone to return the missing spoons, and whined like a champ, to no avail. I just counted, and there are 36 knives, and only 23 spoons. 23? I’m no math …

I think I said once before about my Dad’s colored days. Today is definitely gray, but I’m not in a gray mood. I got the garbage and recycling out, straightened up a shelf, decided what books to give away and/or sell, started the wash, made the bed, and shoveled the drive. We had only about …

When we reached the State line, radio reported that I-75 had been reopened at the Rouge River Bridge. We just looked at each …

We have a small collection of toys that have been used by my “little” grandchildren during their visits for the past few years. Some were purchased at yard sales and discount stores. But, the best two toys were given to me. A lady with a maturing family posted about “two large bags of toys” that …

I was just cleaning the food off my floor, and thinking of the past years. Strange, huh? GS1, his mother, and his brother came to live here about 11 years ago. He was thin, cute and smart. (Grandma’s talking.) We watched him play football and do some other activities. I did a lot of wash, …
