Once upon a time, well, actually in October of 2003 I needed a car. I had recently quit working and economy was my main concern, so we bought a Neon that had been leased or used, possibly by a Chrysler employee. The car had about 10,000 miles, and standard options for an economy car. Not … Read more
I sure am happy to be home again. The past couple of days have been taken up by looking around, walking around, sleeping in my own bed, sitting in my own chair, using my big computer (as apposed to my laptop) and generally feeling happy The best news is that GD1 is feeling “great”. She … Read more
My grandson says I should have told him he did a bad job and not posted this. But, he did a good job, the machine was set wrong. I saw him carefully vacuum under everything and was puzzled when I saw the result. Investigation revealed that it wasn’t him, it was the machine, which I … Read more

If they think I’ve to time to watch for a storm they’ve got another think coming. We returned our granddaughters yesterday, meeting their mother and GS3 halfway. Sesame … Read more
For whatever reason, I haven’t felt well the past couple of days. Even so, time rolls on and I have to keep on keeping on. I’m doing some crazy things these days. I’ve got about 5 balls in the air and I keep letting them fall. I’m sewing for GDs 1 and 2. I’m remodeling … Read more
We had a 7:00 p.m. appointment, thank goodness for the internet. Read about the Kalamazoo Promise story on the CBS news site, and watch the video from last night’s CBS News. BTW, Granny thinks this is good idea. Additionally, you might notice that the superintendent and the news anchor interviewing her are both female. That’s a … Read more
You may remember that D2 and her family moved to a new town at the end of the summer. She took a job with the Kalamazoo Public School District. Most school districts in Michigan are on hard times, but the Kalamazoo district has a little something going for it, the Kalamazoo Promise. This is a … Read more
