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 …

Getting younger or older???
GD1 had her appendix removed Monday night. She’s only 4, and really a tiny girl. I made the drive pretty quickly, and even had extra underwear–but not a lot of extra underwear. D2 is at the hospital and has been there except for 2 showers since Monday. S-n-L has been there a lot also, but …

Answer this–
How can a large, strong almost 16 year old grandson run the vacuum, and not remove any dirt from the floor. This is a highly efficient, very nice vacuum that I splurged on, not some old pile of junk. Are your ready for the answer? I discovered this, when I used it the next day. …

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. …

Perhaps my perfection expectation will never take complete leave. I can stand the messy desks, some messy tabletops, and the cat or kid toys on …

A Little Warmth
It’s pretty nice out here today. I know that because at 5:30 when we got up, the temp was still 32, above freezing. I put the garbage out and didn’t freeze, even without a coat. I’m working on a little project so that will keep me off the street for a while. The news of …

Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way -John Phillips Monday has been and is a profound topic, in my experience. When I was in school, Monday didn’t have the appeal of Thursday or Friday. Same thing at work. Sometimes I wonder why being sad on Monday is such …

Wow
What did I do to get me so much spam traffic overnight? I’d hardly had any, and there were twenty-three (23!) this morning.
