S-in-L found a Wii under the tree this year. I never saw one before last Sunday, but had heard plenty. It was GD1 who asked her Dad to take it out so they could play. She played several games, like darts and a basketball shoot. The best part for her was selecting the clothing for … Read more
Four or five years ago, a new(er) four piece bluegrass gospel group played at the Milan (Michigan) Bluegrass festival. I’d never seen or heard of them, but we gave them a pretty good listen. I remember feeling pretty sorry for them after their show, sitting way in the back in the dark at a tiny … Read more
Today, we returned GD2 to her family. Everyone seems to have missed her, although they all remarked how quite and peaceful it had been without her. That was a moment when I remembered her need for “company”. I also let everyone know that she was pretty quite during the visit. That was probably because she … Read more
Papa, GS2, GD2 and I took a quick trip to the Cranbrook Science Museum today. It was Saturday, so there was a bevy of activity. GS2 and Papa watched a show in the planetarium while GD2 and I wandered. Her reaction to the Mammoth was , “Look at the big elephant!” She found the motion … Read more
A bunch of Kentucky and some of Tennessee is under a winter weather watch. Our snow is cancelled, so I guess they are getting a little taste of being us. I wouldn’t have known this but Sista wrote about an owl chick which fell out of it’s nest. I found the weather stories while looking at … Read more
After S-Dad’s eye appointment yesterday, we had a nice lunch. S-dad really likes to eat out, and doing so alone isn’t much fun. I must say the drive over to the appointment was like a roller coaster ride. I can’t believe that people that live in MICHGAN don’t know that snow is slippery. We saw … Read more
GS2. He came home from Scouts last night, and went upstairs saying he was going to pray to the snow gods. I don’t believe we got over 4 or so inches, but school is closed today. I just shoveled enough to get my van out, because S-Dad has an eye appointment this morning. GS2 will … Read more
There is some kind of crunchy stuff on the driveway, and it is slippery. I did not slip or fall when put out the recycling and garbage this morning, but I walked pretty flat-footed. The forecast is for another bunch of snow, beginning this afternoon. I don’t like that, and I don’t want it to … Read more
It’s warmer, but rainy today. The ice is mostly melted off the driveway, but some water is still backing up into the garage. I tried ice melter, and chopping, but we really need more warm weather. The forecast is for ice and snow. Again. GS3 is 9 today! I believe I was in Juarez when … Read more
