Another hot day here in the Saginaw Valley. I’m back at McDonalds, not sure why, but it does get me a little quiet time. The kids wore me out today. Too bad I’m not 20 years younger. Funny thing, some people my age actually have children the ages of my grandchildren. I’m not exactly sure …

Another Monday, hot and humid
Here I am, at a McDonalds, trying to catch up with the world. Not doing too well, and not doing to badly either. I’m posting Papa’s pictures from the Mountain Top Festival, held in Pennsylvania last weekend. The speed of the connection is so slow, that it will take me 3 hours to do so!? …

Saturday, not Sunday, and we’re headed home a day early. D2 needs a little help right now. Her sisters are assisting while we get ourselves across the turnpike and home again. Granny needs to clean out the camper, put away the food, wash her clothes and get going again tomorrow. The great Mountaintop festival is …

Post from my computer diary, written 7-1-07
Sunday, we’re on our way to Pennsylvania. We got an early start, which we blew by stopping to eat a nice lunch. I guess that’s what vacations are about. We spent the weekend near Leslie, Michigan, at the Wheel Inn Campground. A quite place, and we had a nice rest. A few bands played, a …

What happened?
I lost posted on the 19th? And it’s the 26th? I guess this isn’t as bad as I thought. Papa and I enjoyed the Charlotte (Michigan) Bluegrass Festival at the end of last week. It as a good show and and killer lineup. I felt optimistic about Bluegrass in Michigan when the Grascals closed the …

Back to Blogging Again
I’m over here in Charlotte, Michigan waiting for the annual bluegrass show to begin. The line-up is a good one, we are going to enjoy every minute. After two dry weeks, there were a couple of thunder showers here this morning. In spite of that, here I am at a hot-spot, checking e-mail and posting …

The End of the World?
My Mom died last week, and suddenly everything changed. It’s interesting how different people react differently to the same situation. Mom was sick for a long time, and I became used to the problems, almost immune to her daily ills and complaints, aches and pains. Always upbeat, I was a kind of cheerleader – let’s do …

Stuff
I just went out to check my our garden. Papa has been hard at work, and it shows. Since today will be cool, hardly getting above 60 according to the weather, so nothing will change out there. But, all is well as you can see. Last year, during GS1’s graduation open house a neighbor commented on our garden, saying …

Why, Why Why
Several years ago, when I was working full time, Papa visited a well-known disease-specialized clinic and it’s hospital regularly, having chemo, surgery, radiation, and a variety of blood work and other associated services. We waged a continuing battle to have the charges billed to the correct insurance, the write-off’s entered, and details taken care of. …
