What a weekend! I did mention the camper show, didn’t I? We went and I’m still thinking about some of what we saw. It’s a dangerous place, because of course, we want (or perhaps I want) a new one. I’ve reached a stage in my life where I seem to know enough to look only at … Read more
We had a fine weekend, in spite of the miserable weather. We went “up North” on Friday night, arriving at M-in-L’s home about 9:30. She was waiting up, good thing it didn’t take any longer. If you really care, this is one some people think about the geography around here. ( if you read that … Read more
We are headed for Perrysburg Ohio, just south of Toledo later this morning. A indoor festival has been held there for years. With Larry and Lisa Efaw at the helm, the show is on the way up. This year, the Daily-Vincent band, Bobby Osborne the Hart brothers and many more are playing. It was a … 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. Anyway, they start collections at 7, and they mean it. D1 missed the recycling truck one day by not being up early enough. All this means that on … Read more
It’s a nice looking day, already. The garbage men already took the leaves, so they’re right with it. Of course, even though I worked hard yesterday, there are many leaves on the lawn again. We only bag the one from the walnut tree, the remainder we mow up and put on our garden. So, I … Read more
FanFest at IBMA was fun this year, but we’re tired out. We’re on our way home now. We stayed for the service and gospel singing this morning, something we didn’t do last year. We enjoyed seeing the Whites. They aren’t a group we would see under normal circumstances, so it was a treat. Molly Skaggs, … 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. For me, the most sobering moment was … Read more
A nice day yesterday, and another coming. Perhaps a week full of them. This time of year, warm days are a reminder to get the fall stuff done, before it’s too late. My fall list has been put off, don’t know when I will resume. Spent yesterday afternoon with step dad at the eye doctor. … Read more
I left this morning in a pretty good mood to take GS2 to football. Everything was fine for 500 feet, then someone driving a tank-like vehicle passed me. He used the left turn lane to do so. I was going 40, the speed limit. I did not do the what the tank drivers around here … Read more
