I left this morning in a pretty good mood to take GS2 to football. Everything was fine for 500 feet, then someone driving a tank-like vehicle passed me. He used the left turn lane to do so. I was going 40, the speed limit. I did not do the what the tank drivers around here …

The Second Thirty-eight Years
We spent the weekend with friends at the Marshall Bluegrass Festival. Burke and Tina Cole put on this Michigan festival annually, and bill it as “The Peoples festival”. True to form, many great Michigan pickers populated the campgrounds. In fact, I believe Burke had the largest crowd I’ve seen there since they moved the festival …

If You YELL — will it –?
A couple of nights ago, a typical commercial was bellowing from the TV, to an empty room. Papa was editing photos, I was doing some computer thing, and D1 was sitting on the sofa, reading a book. The din was remarkable, so Papa stood up to turn the TV either down or off, and stopped …

Green Light?
The children went home last Friday, or did I mention that already? So, about the green light—. I was driving GS3 either to or from the Detroit Zoo, where he attended Summer Safari last week. At some light, one of those advance green arrows the traffic engineers are so proud of, the 3 or 4 …

List Revisited
You may remember the list. This morning, after viewing the damages made by one cat spilling one glass of water on my desk, I decided review of the lists was necessary. List one, to do: Map to Beanfor the Goins benefit. Family tree chart for the reunion (done yesterday, thanks to D3 helping me. Genealogical …

Home
I’ve been home since Sunday, with three small visitors. They seem to be sucking up all my time. But, we’re having fun. Tell me how a little girl who usually sleeps till 8:30 is up at 6:30, dressed and ready to go. I guess being old enough to go to the zoo for day camp …

Open
The library I mentioned is open today. It’s a nice place, and pretty busy. There is a problem, though. The internet works only on the lower floor. Surprise, surprise, the genealogy and history section is on the upper floor. I can’t believe it, but it’s true. I did some research, then I came down here for …

McDonalds Again?
I guess if this place wasn’t so close to the place we’re staying, I wouldn’t come here so much. No–that’s not right. If this place wasn’t so close, and didn’t have internet I wouldn’t come here so much. I was going to head for the local library, but a reality check revealed that the library …

Hot Day – Again, but not so humid!
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!? …
