Winter, Again

November 27, 2016March 4, 2008 by Granny Pam

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 … Read more

Rain, Rain, Go Away

November 27, 2016March 3, 2008 by Granny Pam

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 … Read more

Gray Day

February 17, 2018February 29, 2008 by Granny Pam

Did I say before that my Dad used to assign colors to days? I guess I did. Dad was an interesting guy; I wish I’d known him better. He died when he was 51, and I was 28. I was busy, very busy with 3 small children. I was also angry, because I viewed his … Read more

Nice, Revisited

February 17, 2018February 28, 2008 by Granny Pam

I know you remember the (what-a-nice) dish post of a while back. I was confronted with a similar situation a couple of days ago. You remember my flu, right? I didn’t feel too good Sunday evening, so I asked Papa to go to the store and get cake and topping for our strawberries. He did. … Read more

Freddie

February 17, 2018February 27, 2008 by Granny Pam

Freddie Newby passed away on Sunday, February 24th. Freddie could be found at the Huron Valley Eagles, Flat Rock Michigan on most Saturday nights; he introduced the bands and he handled the sound. He had done sound for festivals around Michigan in previous years. We last saw Freddie February 16, when he introduced Mike’s band … Read more

The Flu

November 27, 2016February 26, 2008 by Granny Pam

OK, so I got it. Sunday I thought it was the long day at Fort Wayne that tired me out. Yesterday I knew. I’m not sick to my stomach, and my digestion is fine. But I feel like I got hit by a truck, and I can’t wake up. I slept most of yesterday, all … Read more

So Here I Am

March 9, 2011February 23, 2008 by Granny Pam

I am at the genealogy section of the Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne Indiana. Helen is not here. Well, she probably is, but I didn’t find her. I also didn’t find a couple of other people I’m looking for. John Fenton and Martin Herrington. I went through about 15 microfilms, looking for even a … Read more

Is This Oz?

February 17, 2018February 20, 2008 by Granny Pam

He was here for a couple of days and now he’s gone again. His Mom is in the background, she and I both have a kind of empty feeling this afternoon. That is the car he bought on Friday. Kind of looks like a young guy’s car, doesn’t it? He had a TV he wanted to … Read more

Where is Helen?

August 25, 2008February 19, 2008 by Granny Pam

Will ever find out where my maternal grandmother went, and why? Helen Lois Palmer was born in Hoosick Falls, NY on 28 August 1891. She was baptized 7 August 1892 at the Methodist church in Hoosick Falls. Helen was counted on the 1900 census with her family, including parents Orlando W. Palmer and Libbie Winn, … Read more

I LIKE IT…..

February 17, 2018February 18, 2008 by Granny Pam

What a weekend! I did mention the camper show, didn’t I? We went and I’m still thinking about some of what we saw. It’s a dangerous place, because of course, we want (or perhaps I want) a new one. I’ve reached a stage in my life where I seem to know enough to look only at … Read more
