I’m fooling with my themes, again. Bear with me.

Winter
It’s a beautiful day, if you can stay inside. GS2 helped me clear the driveway, or perhaps I helped him. For reasons that are obvious once you live here, the snow drifts up in front of our doors, both the entry door and the garage doors. This makes clearing the mess up a little harder. …

Let It Snow
Last Sunday morning, Papa and I woke up early. We were “up north”, at M-In-L’s house. It snowed a little, and blew a lot. I took a few pictures of the snow. Now nobody wants to hear this, but I almost cried as I edited them. We’re long moved south, where there aren’t long cold …

Busy, Busy, Busy
For whatever reason, I haven’t felt well the past couple of days. Even so, time rolls on and I have to keep on keeping on. I’m doing some crazy things these days. I’ve got about 5 balls in the air and I keep letting them fall. I’m sewing for GDs 1 and 2. I’m remodeling …

We Missed It
We had a 7:00 p.m. appointment, thank goodness for the internet. Read about the Kalamazoo Promise story on the CBS news site, and watch the video from last night’s CBS News. BTW, Granny thinks this is good idea. Additionally, you might notice that the superintendent and the news anchor interviewing her are both female. That’s a …

Winter makes an appearance
It doesn’t happen much around here, but the world is frozen. It was below zero last night, and many of the schools are closed. It’s a great day for GS2 to sleep in, after all the Super Bowl food he ate last night. We went “up north” over the weekend and visited M-in-L. Her birthday …

Promise, The Saga Continues
You may remember that D2 and her family moved to a new town at the end of the summer. She took a job with the Kalamazoo Public School District. Most school districts in Michigan are on hard times, but the Kalamazoo district has a little something going for it, the Kalamazoo Promise. This is a …

Winter in Michigan
It’s cooled off, some days are even cold! I’ve been enjoying the chance to go out and scrape snow off the drive. There hasn’t been a lot, but there is something about spending 15 or 20 minutes outside that makes the house seem warmer. For the record, we didn’t go to the auto show at …

Grandma, I need a …..
The phone rang last night, and Papa said it was for me. I answered, and D2 told me that GD1 needed to talk to me. She is the 4 ½ year old, and she first visited us by herself when she was about 18 months old. We’re buddies, but she’s growing up, and I’m not. …

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 …
