Yard Work

November 27, 2016April 4, 2008 by Granny Pam

It was almost pleasant out last night, so I stacked the dishes in the sink and joined Papa and D3 in the yard. D3 and I trimmed the bushes to make mowing easier. I raked one of the two ditches, getting rid of the worst of the leaves out front. We put the leaves on … Read more

Helen is Found!

March 9, 2011April 3, 2008 by Granny Pam

A couple of days ago, I noticed that a check I’d written to the Social Security Administration for the original application of one Helen Potwine, born August 28, 1891 and died in September, 1966. This was the only Helen on the SSDI at Rootsweb.com that matched the birthday of my grandmother, Helen L. Palmer, and … Read more

Catty

November 27, 2016April 2, 2008 by Granny Pam

I remember Aunt Jane used to say, “meow”, if she or I, or anyone in earshot said something a little catty about someone who wasn’t present. Nice, Huh? I’m not sure why I thought about that, but it may have been the cats. I don’t own a cat, but two seem to own me. These … Read more

Wow!

Papa takes a lot of pictures. I don’t always look at them, the sometimes I do. Today I did look at every picture he took at the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival last weekend. The lighting and background gods were smiling. The camera settings were right. The whole bunch is great. Check em out here. … Read more

Finish Something

February 17, 2018March 28, 2008 by Granny Pam

Yesterday, while Papa worked, I actually finished something. Not easy, but in keeping with my March resolution to waste less time, I really buckled down. In the course of visits to various libraries, cemeteries, and archives, I’ve managed to assemble a ton of material which is floating around my computer in digital format. There are … Read more

Good Old-Fashioned Hard Work???

February 17, 2018March 27, 2008 by Granny Pam

If you’ve been retired for a while, and I have, it gets harder to focus and accomplish tasks. At least it has for me. That is because time is available. Lots of it. It is easy to forget that it (the time, that is) continues to march on, even when nothing is done. And, there … Read more

Public Places, Wacky People, and Coffee

November 27, 2016March 26, 2008 by Granny Pam

Here I am in a special place where people drink coffee, eat soup, pastries or sandwiches and use the Internet. I’m using the Internet, but I’m not drinking coffee. I used to drink lots of coffee, 40 or more years ago, when I was single. I waited on tables at a series of places, and … Read more

Sleeping in a Chair

November 27, 2016March 25, 2008 by Granny Pam

I used to wonder how people could sleep in chairs, in fact, even why they would consider doing so. Over the past few years, all that has changed. I’ve found that sleeping in a chair is great for people with colds, especially head colds. I’ve spent the past 2 days and nights making sure that … Read more
