Crazy. it’s 9:50 and I have accomplished 2 baths, 1 shower, 4 breakfasts and some entertainment. Guess who hasn’t had a shower? We didn’t get home until midnight from the Circus, so everyone slept in. GS3 has a whopper of a cold, so he’s sniffling and blowing and coughing. The GD’s must be mostly immune … Read more
Our “little” grandchildren arrived yesterday morning. They hauled all their stuff in, and got on the discovering and rediscovering Grandma’s space. I kept sewing. D2 had found shoes, very cute Mary Janes with bows, and they match the dresses perfectly. GD1’s petticoat was done first, she tried it, and said, “I won’t be able to fit … Read more
Last spring was D2’s families first in Kalamazoo, they had moved in the fall just before school began. GD1 was just 4 years old when they moved, and didn’t have a firm concept of places and their names. She knew the name of her old town and school, and learned the names of her new … Read more
For some reason, the sun casts a different light in the spring. I can see cob webs, smudges, dust and other offensive things so much better in the spring. I want to clean everything, and NOW. It’s not happening, but I did do my usual Monday “stuff”. The house is vacuumed. The bed is changed. … Read more
Here are our granddaughters at Mayfest last year. Scroll down to the bottom. The extra little girl, who has the braid, was camped near us.
S-in-L found a Wii under the tree this year. I never saw one before last Sunday, but had heard plenty. It was GD1 who asked her Dad to take it out so they could play. She played several games, like darts and a basketball shoot. The best part for her was selecting the clothing for … Read more
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 … Read more
A bunch of Kentucky and some of Tennessee is under a winter weather watch. Our snow is cancelled, so I guess they are getting a little taste of being us. I wouldn’t have known this but Sista wrote about an owl chick which fell out of it’s nest. I found the weather stories while looking at … Read more
After S-Dad’s eye appointment yesterday, we had a nice lunch. S-dad really likes to eat out, and doing so alone isn’t much fun. I must say the drive over to the appointment was like a roller coaster ride. I can’t believe that people that live in MICHGAN don’t know that snow is slippery. We saw … Read more
GS2. He came home from Scouts last night, and went upstairs saying he was going to pray to the snow gods. I don’t believe we got over 4 or so inches, but school is closed today. I just shoveled enough to get my van out, because S-Dad has an eye appointment this morning. GS2 will … Read more
