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 …

Gray Monday

I think I said once before about my Dad’s colored days.  Today is definitely gray, but I’m not in a gray mood.  I got the garbage and recycling out, straightened up a shelf, decided what books to give away and/or sell, started the wash, made the bed, and shoveled the drive.  We had only about …

Doctor’s appointment 2 trips to the drug store for the prescribed medications Ripped on to the computer, cataloged and stored the CDs we bought over the weekend Put out the garbage Cooked …

What’s wrong with the theme

It’s a contest.  I’ll say nice things about the person who can tell me how to fix the screwed up post display.  If something isn’t screwed up, I already figured it out!

Perrysburg, Ohio Festival

We’re home again.  Papa and I had a smooth ride home from Perrysburg, Ohio Sunday morning.  The weather forecasts weren’t pretty and even though the ride home was short, we were concerned.  When we reached the State line, radio reported that I-75 had been reopened at the Rouge River Bridge.  We just looked at each …

Early Friday

Today is an early Friday for Granny.  If I just had everything done.  D1 and GS2 are leaving at noon, to go to the Great Lakes Navel Training Center for GS1’s basic graduation.  They are joining up with D2 and her family on the way.  Papa and I have some other plans for the weekend, …

We’ve Got Work To Do

We have a small collection of toys that have been used by my “little” grandchildren during their visits for the past few years.  Some were purchased at yard sales and discount stores.  But, the best two toys were given to me.  A lady with a maturing family posted about “two large bags of toys” that …
