We had a wonderful time at Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis Saturday. More on that later this week. We detoured to Kalamazoo and brought GD2 back with us for a visit. She is completely different from her sister, and takes a little getting used to. Her parents taught her to be quite polite, so if she doesn’t want … Read more
I can’t name names today, since I’m not focused and I don’t have my program, it’s in Papa’s car. I just want all of the wonderful people who came out Saturday to support Jimmy’s endeavour, Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis, to know how much it meant to Papa and I. You can see the main sponsors … Read more
Papa and I settled down to watch the Red Wings last night. I was chilly, so I made some tea. As we watched, the cats begged for attention, spread hair all over, again. They’re shedding like mad. Things were going pretty well, and then it all fell apart in the third period. Nashvegas won, darn it. I … Read more
Did I say the dresses were finally finished? I’m really glad, and relieved. I am going to make aprons for them, so they won’t get too much food on them at the reception. We’re calling them aprons, it might be more like big bibs! If you have the time, you could compare them to the sample. I’m … Read more
Some things you need to do. We want to see you at Jimmy’s benefit show next Saturday, April 19, Dogwood Center, Fremont, Michigan. For a discount coupon, head on over to the benefit site.
I went out to take out some trash the other day, and heard a Mourning Dove. Sure enough, it was secure on the wire above my drive. We’re actually overrun with the darn things, but as far as I can see, they haven’t caused any trouble. Each time I hear one I think of my … Read more
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
I got up, put out the garbage and recycleing and sat down to the sewing machine. I had quite a bit done on the petticoats for the flower girl dresses when I realized I was just a little short of fabric. Oh well. I had an appointment at the recycling center, can you believe I needed … 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
