This is a real problem, I have some shopping to do, and my list is not in my purse. Really, it’s nowhere that I can see. I have my “to do” list, it’s right on my desk. But, the shopping list traveled with me yesterday, and is now MIA. Whenever I can’t find something, I remember …

Pay Day
Most of us love pay day, it gives us a chance to catch up on bills or whatever. Today is my pay day. I pay for spending several days with GD1, and the weekend with her and her 2 siblings, ignoring all my work. We had a wonderful time at the West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association …

Staying Home
For the last several years we have attended the Lewis Family Festival in Lincolnton, Georgia during this week before Mother’s Day. This year, we’re staying home. Mom just got out of the hospital after almost two weeks. She’s at a nursing home/rehab facility near here. I think I can ride my bike up there, I’ll probably …

The Lost is found
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 …

If you think you’ve got problems….
I’ve been here at D2’s home for a week. I haven’t been away from home for a whole week since I stopped working, unless Papa and I went somewhere together. Papa did come over here to visit me this weekend, and have some fun with the grandkids, and generally help out. Good thing, it’s easy …

Wow, Weird Weather
In the past week, we have really had it. Stuff has been falling from the sky, snow, rain, ice, sleet, a little of everything. The GD’s were here for a couple of days, but the older wasn’t feeling good, so I took them home. Thank goodness, the roads and the sky were clear that day. …
