What a weekend. D2 arrived on Friday night with GS3, and GD’s 1 and 2. We had a nice evening, and everyone but GD3 went to bed early. We could here her from our bedroom, “Wake up sister! Let’s have a tea party. Want to have cucumber sandwiches? Let’s stay up all night!”. I guess … Read more
We left Saturday morning, and drove to Fremont, Michigan. Oh, wait, not before we went to the estate sale next door. I didn’t think I could bear to do it, and when we were ready to leave, I didn’t think I could stand not to. So we went. These things remind me of a song … Read more
Not sure how it got to be Friday, I don’t remember anything about the previous days. Well….maybe I do. Monday, we arrived home about 2 p.m. I ate, packed a couple of days clothes, and did a bunch of book work for the genealogy Society. Then I drove to Kalamazoo to help D2. She and … Read more
We’re here in Music City for the IBMA FanFest. We attended the awards show last night, it was a warm fuzzy evening. Dale Ann Bradley got a hugh standing ovation upon being named the Female Vocalist, and Bradley Walker’s almost equaled it when he was named Male Vocalist.

I’ve got a ton of wash, and a ton to do. We got our van back last night, S-in-L used it a few days while trying to clear up a few things. There are so many things after a death. I took step-dad to the eye doctor yesterday and myself to the dentist. No problems, … Read more
I’ve been missing from the blogs for a few days. Sally, a wonderful daughter, sister, mother and grandmother left us last Friday. I knew her as S-in-L’s mother and my younger grandchildren’s Grammie; she was good at both. GS3 and GD1 were understandably upset, but I hope the good memories will out last the pain … Read more
The garage sale was interesting, to say the least. Hard to believe that someone would change a price tag on a fifty cent item. We just sold him what he wanted at the price he wanted to pay, and he promised to return (of course). When he returned yesterday, we had Papa deal with him. … Read more
Last night after football practice, D1 took GS2 to get his driver’s license. He was home about 10 minutes when he headed out to go to a drive through. He told me he’d told his mom that was the first thing he was going to do…. I talked to D2 last night, and she told … Read more
Where has Granny been? I’ve been right here at home, with visiting GS3 and GD’s 1&2, at M-in-L’s for a Labor Day holiday, and back home to get ready for a garage sale. Garage sale? Well, D3 has items to unload, so I’m going to do the same. Not to sure how this will go, … Read more
According to my complete, 30 second, quick and dirty, Internet search an album with the title, Some Things I Want to Sing About, by the Osborne Brothers came out on Sugar Hill in 1984. That song was later recorded by THE Grascals on their album, The Grascals in 2005. Bobby Osborne guested on that effort, giving it, at least for … Read more
