I want it to sort one of my categories with the NEWEST first. My problem is with the “Listening To”, I want you to see what I’m listening to when I write, not yesterday’s, or last week’s. Ick. I’ve got an idea, though. It won’t be pretty, but I’ll bet it will work. There, I did … Read more
Well, we drove to Maumee, Ohio and saw the Wildwood Valley Boys last night. They did their usual great show. Mike Adams is handling the sound for that series, and it sounded good from our seats. Getting home wasn’t a lot of fun. I lost track of the accidents just after we got into Michigan. … Read more
All the Grandmas like to see things like this: This is one of Larry and Lisa Efaw’s grandsons. I understand the little guys received little guitars and fiddles at Christmas.

Our children and grandchildren didn’t do that yesterday, and we’re glad of it. We had a very nice family “Christmas” yesterday. One … Read more
Papa and I had a great trip to Pigeon Forge at the end of last week. We drove home on Sunday, narrowly escaping the ice storm that caused trouble in Northern Ohio and Southeastern lower Michigan. We did see a few accidents, but at the time we went through, a little commen sense would have … Read more
Winter finally happened here in the Detroit suburbs. I had to shovel the drive today. Well, I didn’t have to, but it’s always better to keep up on such things. And it’s good exercise. Papa and I are headed out for a long weekend in the Smokie Mountains this afternoon. I guess that’s why the … Read more
Tuesday is garbage day at Granny’s. It used to be Monday, but improvements were made in the route, or something. I really don’t remember the whole explanation.
