I was just cleaning the food off my floor, and thinking of the past years. Strange, huh? GS1, his mother, and his brother came to live here about 11 years ago. He was thin, cute and smart. (Grandma’s talking.) We watched him play football and do some other activities. I did a lot of wash, …

Healthy New Year
So, it’s begun. Health Club ads. Healthy food ads. The resolutions are upon us. Here’s one to ruin your day. Steak ‘n Shake introduces “Fruit and Frozen Yogert Shakes”.

Another Last Second Win (or Loss)
This time, I actually said to Papa, “I went to bed the last time I thought a game was finished, and it wasn’t.” We watched the whole thing. I’m smug and satisfied not to be annoyed by the morning news.

Memories From the Visit
2 ½ year old granddaughter’s alligator tears when I didn’t want to let her “watch”. As in, “I want to watch, please.” Anything, a Dora video, a “show” on TV, anything. The look on a mother’s face at the Science Center. GD2 (above) was building a tower. She accompanies every activity with paragraphs of explanation. …

Bad Cold
My young granddaughters were sniffling, and from that I caught a whopper of a cold. I slept in my chair at least part of the last two nights. I’m not better, it actually seems worse. No fever, just a bad cold. Yck!

Fun Zone
I retrieved my “little grandchildren” yesterday. That’s GS3 and GD1 and GD2. They are 7, 4, and 2, considerably younger than GS1 and GS2, brothers who have lived here with their Mother, D1 for a few years. GS3 has this week off school, a happy thing. He can’t come as often as the girls, since …

The Hair Problem
I used to have hair that was a kind of light copper color, so curly that my stepsister said people referred to me as, “The girl with the tee-pee hair.” Probably an accurate statement, since it started at my scalp and just kept on going—similar to Alice in Dilbert. This hair had white strands, copper color …

For Pete’s Sake!
I stayed up real late last night, rooting for the underdog football team. You know, the one that plays on the blue field. After Oaklahoma intercepted a pass and scored what I though was the winning touchdown with a minute remaining, I gave up and went to bed. The rest is history, the team with …

Today
Once, somewhere, on a piece of paper or a greeting card I saw a list of reasons why it is important to do certain things, “Just for today.” As I remember, this list was designed to bring out one’s compassionate, loving and caring side—urging us to do something for ourselves and/or others to make the …
