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
It’s cooled off, some days are even cold! I’ve been enjoying the chance to go out and scrape snow off the drive. There hasn’t been a lot, but there is something about spending 15 or 20 minutes outside that makes the house seem warmer. For the record, we didn’t go to the auto show at … Read more
The phone rang last night, and Papa said it was for me. I answered, and D2 told me that GD1 needed to talk to me. She is the 4 ½ year old, and she first visited us by herself when she was about 18 months old. We’re buddies, but she’s growing up, and I’m not. … Read more

It’s a contest. I’ll say nice things about the person who can tell me how to fix the screwed up post display. If something isn’t screwed up, I already figured it out!
We’re home again. Papa and I had a smooth ride home from Perrysburg, Ohio Sunday morning. The weather forecasts weren’t pretty and even though the ride home was short, we were concerned. When we reached the State line, radio reported that I-75 had been reopened at the Rouge River Bridge. We just looked at each … Read more
Today is an early Friday for Granny. If I just had everything done. D1 and GS2 are leaving at noon, to go to the Great Lakes Navel Training Center for GS1’s basic graduation. They are joining up with D2 and her family on the way. Papa and I have some other plans for the weekend, … Read more
