Papa and I headed south last Friday morning, and ended up in Wilmington, Ohio. Joe Mullins and his family hosted the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival, a great destination for bluegrass fans. I am ever so glad we made the trip. On December 12, 2006, I made a post about the death of Dempsey Young. …

Papa’s pictures from last Friday are posted; I must say Summertown Road really livened the place up. There was a very good crowd, we saw a bunch of people that you wouldn’t consider regulars out for the evening. It was good to see Pete Goble out, he said the same thing a lot of people …

Papa and I are headed out to the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival tomorrow. We’re looking forward to seeing a few friends, and some great music. Be there if you can, it is a well run event, with some great bluegrass entertainers included on the schedule. I’m especially looking forward to seeing Grasstown, the Scene, …

Another in a series about Me, Myself and I. Today, I’m sharing the stage with Dad and B1. In this one, Dad is holding me. I look a little like him, I guess. Not as much as my sister, who is really the image of Dad when he was young. Here are B1 with me …

This is shaping up to be a busy, and short week. The weekend was exhausting, again. Friday was pleasant, D3 and I headed out for Ikea at about 9 a.m. Traffic was thin, but the parking lot over there at wonderland was quite full. We skipped the ninety-nine cent breakfast and got right with the …

I promised photos of the completed stairs, and here they are: These are thumbnails. You can see that the walls of this house are plaster, a fact we have elected to live with. I know one lady who actually pulled the plaster out of her house and installed drywall. I can’t imagine the work doing …

Perhaps it is funny, but maybe not. As soon as Papa got ready for work this morning, we took the bed, the top of a big shelf and his night stand out of the bedroom. He moved the TV, cable box and VCR last night. Yesterday I took all the books and notebooks and put …

This morning, I was reading blogs and at least two of the bloggers I read regularly, Tipper, and Becky posted photos of their daffodils. I’m behind, again! You might remember last fall, when I did some work on the flower bed on the south side of my house. I planned to move my daisies to this …

I hit a wall on Tuesday, and absolutely collapsed. Well, I almost absolutely collapsed. I put two coats of paint on the stairs, while the paint dried, I wrote some posts for my Belle’s Box series over on Granny’s Genealogy. Then, it was outside to paint the new trim, which will go in the living …

Well, here I go again. Today’s words are about my paternal grandmother, Winnie Alice (Kaiser) Yearnd. In this photo she is sitting at the dining room table in her home at 703 E. Division, Cadillac. That is also the place my family lived from about 1958 until my parents divorced and I moved away to …
