Granny had fun yesterday. We went to the New Detroit Science Center. It was our first trip to this great museum, but it won’t be the last. D3 came with us, she is known as Aunt J to the little kids. We were a party of 5, with varying shades of red hair, from Aunt …

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 …

Hi, from beautiful Jekyll Island, Georgia
Papa and I had an uneventful trip to the area, but it is a long haul, longer each year. The beach is beautiful, and we saw a dolphin near shore feeding on Wednesday. The bluegrass show put on by Adams and Anderson has been enjoyable for Papa and I. Yesterday, we had an experience …

Merry Christmas, in Spite of the Warm Weather
D3 is off to work, Papa is driving her today. She is plenty old enough to drive herself, but her place of employment is 10 miles in the direction we’re doing after she finished work. It makes sense for us to pick her up on the way. And, she won’t have a car sitting in …

Now what?
The year is almost over. Papa is working his last day of the year today. We will be heading down to Jekyll Island on the 26th,for the Adams and Anderson bluegrass show. We kind of take it easy going down, but we should be there in time for a walk on the beach on Wednesday, …

Just Another busy day
Our car needed some repairs, so I took it in yesterday. Papa drives the car for work, and it gets a lot of miles put on it. It took us to Pigeon Forge, and it will also take us to Jekyll Island later this month. We have a long-standing relationship with the car repair man, …

The Real World
So, we’re home from Tennessee. We had a great time at the Larkin family’s Christmas in the Smokies. We slept in, talked to a bunch of nice people, looked at the great light displays in Pigeon Forge, all the Fudgie stuff. On the way home we noted some changes in the scenery since our last …

What Planet are you from?
So, we’ve been to the flea market again. I say again, because they seem the same everywhere. The vinyl banners, the refurbished computers, the cheap jewelry, the candles, and the rejected household goods seem to clone themselves from location to location. Of interest this year is the trend of groups of boxes of dollar items …

Up this Hill and Down
The above title of a old Osborne Brothers song really didn’t mean a lot to me until I began to travel around the United States over the past 15 years. Perhaps I hadn’t even heard the song before then. We drove down to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee yesterday in the process we went up and down …
