Four or five years ago, a new(er) four piece bluegrass gospel group played at the Milan (Michigan) Bluegrass festival. I’d never seen or heard of them, but we gave them a pretty good listen. I remember feeling pretty sorry for them after their show, sitting way in the back in the dark at a tiny …

Home Again Home Again Jiggety-Jig
Today, we returned GD2 to her family. Everyone seems to have missed her, although they all remarked how quite and peaceful it had been without her. That was a moment when I remembered her need for “company”. I also let everyone know that she was pretty quite during the visit. That was probably because she …

Cranbrook Science Museum
Papa, GS2, GD2 and I took a quick trip to the Cranbrook Science Museum today. It was Saturday, so there was a bevy of activity. GS2 and Papa watched a show in the planetarium while GD2 and I wandered. Her reaction to the Mammoth was , “Look at the big elephant!” She found the motion …

Winter, Again
There is some kind of crunchy stuff on the driveway, and it is slippery. I did not slip or fall when put out the recycling and garbage this morning, but I walked pretty flat-footed. The forecast is for another bunch of snow, beginning this afternoon. I don’t like that, and I don’t want it to …

Rain, Rain, Go Away
It’s warmer, but rainy today. The ice is mostly melted off the driveway, but some water is still backing up into the garage. I tried ice melter, and chopping, but we really need more warm weather. The forecast is for ice and snow. Again. GS3 is 9 today! I believe I was in Juarez when …
