There is some kind of crunchy stuff on the driveway, and it is slippery. I did not slip or fall when put out the recycling and garbage this morning, but I walked pretty flat-footed. The forecast is for another bunch of snow, beginning this afternoon. I don’t like that, and I don’t want it to …

Rain, Rain, Go Away
It’s warmer, but rainy today. The ice is mostly melted off the driveway, but some water is still backing up into the garage. I tried ice melter, and chopping, but we really need more warm weather. The forecast is for ice and snow. Again. GS3 is 9 today! I believe I was in Juarez when …

Is This Oz?
He was here for a couple of days and now he’s gone again. His Mom is in the background, she and I both have a kind of empty feeling this afternoon. That is the car he bought on Friday. Kind of looks like a young guy’s car, doesn’t it? He had a TV he wanted to …

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 …

Speak English?
A call center needs employees. I was on the phone with someone for almost an hour today, and I’m still not sure they understood me. They did keep saying they were sorry, and that was true, they are sorry. I guess I can’t tell you what company, they might sue me. I told Papa I needed a mixed …

In Memory
Frank Burns was a good old boy, one of the best of that kind. He had his opinions, but he wouldn’t hurt a flea and he spread a lot of love. GS3 was camping with us at Whispering Winds, known to some Michigan bluegrass fans as Wendy Smith’s place. It was the July 4th festival, 2003. …

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 …

Growing Up?
D2 called last night to let me know that GD2 had ambition, perhaps more than we realized. The cute little one was wearing a dress that I made for her older sister. D2 said, how big you’re getting, to wear this dress Grandma made. GD2 replied, “Soon I will grow big enough to wear Grandma’s …

The Dresses
You remember the dresses, don’t you? If you don’t, GD1 and GD2 are going to be flower girls. The wedding isn’t until June, but I’m a worry wart. The dresses have a colored sash, which is called “orchid”, but which looks like blue on my monitor, and let me know what color on yours. Knowing …

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 …
