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 …

Mourning Dove
I went out to take out some trash the other day, and heard a Mourning Dove. Sure enough, it was secure on the wire above my drive. We’re actually overrun with the darn things, but as far as I can see, they haven’t caused any trouble. Each time I hear one I think of my …

Surprise
I was caught off-guard when my brother called last night, and was in town for work. I actually have two brothers, but I rarely see either. I’ll just call this one B1, since he was born first (after me). So, I waited until his GPS brought him here to the house this morning, then I …

Home Again Home Again Jiggety-Jig
Today, we returned GD2 to her family. Everyone seems to have missed her, although they all remarked how quite and peaceful it had been without her. That was a moment when I remembered her need for “company”. I also let everyone know that she was pretty quite during the visit. That was probably because she …

Nice, Revisited
I know you remember the (what-a-nice) dish post of a while back. I was confronted with a similar situation a couple of days ago. You remember my flu, right? I didn’t feel too good Sunday evening, so I asked Papa to go to the store and get cake and topping for our strawberries. He did. …

I LIKE IT…..
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 …

Super Day
Today is the day, finally the last football game of the season (if you don’t count the Pro Bowl) will be played. The main concerns around here, “What foods are we having?” That is a family member quote, but I’m not saying who. I’m pretty sure that Tom Brady will finish the Pat’s fine season …

A Little Drive
I headed over to Kalamazoo today, to retrieve our three “little” grandchildren. It’s a happy occasion, Sesame Street Live is playing at the Fox Theater. Since the oldest of the “little” grandchildren was 3 or so, I or we or whoever have made one of those shows with some combination of them. the year GD2 …

Sally’s Pillows
I may have written about Sally, but lately she’s really been on my mind. One reason, a number of her sewing and craft items are here. I am the logical storage location for the sewing supplies, materials and patterns, I love to sew, and I do so often. However, I’m not crafty, not at all. Sally …

Like Father, Like Son
All the Grandmas like to see things like this: This is one of Larry and Lisa Efaw’s grandsons. I understand the little guys received little guitars and fiddles at Christmas. This one loves to be on stage. Emcee Charlie Patton made sure this one was out front were we could all get a good look. …
