Perhaps it is funny, but maybe not. As soon as Papa got ready for work this morning, we took the bed, the top of a big shelf and his night stand out of the bedroom. He moved the TV, cable box and VCR last night. Yesterday I took all the books and notebooks and put …

The Camper Show
I mentioned we were going to attend the show, so you probably want to know what kind of camper Papa and I bought at the big show last week. Drum roll please: Ready? None. We did do a good job of looking around. As usual, I noticed a couple of things I didn’t care for, …

Dentist, Again?
I have to go to the dentist and get my teeth scrapped off again today. Since I had periodontal surgery eight or so years ago, I’ve been on a quarterly maintainance schedule. Last week, when Papa and I were happily enscounsed on Jekyll Island, I received a call that my appointment was in two days. …

Home on The Range
On December 30th, a Sunday, D3 mixed up some cinnamon rolls. All went according to plan until the oven failed to light when she turned the knob. I don’t know exactly when we bought that stove, but it has been more than a few years ago. I believe it came from “worst buy”, my least …

Snow? A Haircut?
Winter finally happened here in the Detroit suburbs. I had to shovel the drive today. Well, I didn’t have to, but it’s always better to keep up on such things. And it’s good exercise. Papa and I are headed out for a long weekend in the Smokie Mountains this afternoon. I guess that’s why the …

List — or Lists?
Last night, as the troops were helping me with the dishes, I said that something needed to be put on the list. A family member said, “You’re always putting something on a list”. That was a correct statement. When I worked, I kept complicated project plans, with date assumptions, and other frightening things. Now that …

Seventy-nine Thousand Miles Later
Once upon a time, well, actually in October of 2003 I needed a car. I had recently quit working and economy was my main concern, so we bought a Neon that had been leased or used, possibly by a Chrysler employee. The car had about 10,000 miles, and standard options for an economy car. Not …

Camper Show
Papa and I went to the camper show yesterday Saturday. Talk about up and down. We went in and out of many trailers and class C motor homes and decided we will stick with Lex for now. Lex has some drawbacks, but is already in our drive. Using him requires no payments, no hustle and …

Missing spoons
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 …
