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
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

Another hot day here in the Saginaw Valley. I’m back at McDonalds, not sure why, but it does get me a little quiet time. The kids wore me out today. Too bad I’m not 20 years younger. Funny thing, some people my age actually have children the ages of my grandchildren. I’m not exactly sure … Read more
Here I am, at a McDonalds, trying to catch up with the world. Not doing too well, and not doing to badly either. I’m posting Papa’s pictures from the Mountain Top Festival, held in Pennsylvania last weekend. The speed of the connection is so slow, that it will take me 3 hours to do so!? … Read more
My Mom died last week, and suddenly everything changed. It’s interesting how different people react differently to the same situation. Mom was sick for a long time, and I became used to the problems, almost immune to her daily ills and complaints, aches and pains. Always upbeat, I was a kind of cheerleader – let’s do … Read more
Last fall, I hauled out a cool game that I remembered from my youth, so I could enjoy it wth GD1. She had great small muscle coordination, but she couldn’t manage both the ball and the jacks at that time. I put it away after she left, but one of the 10 jacks was missing. Oh … Read more
