Monday, Monday Can’t trust that day… I have no idea why the Mama’s and the Papa’s song floats through my head so many times on Monday. I guess it’s just an ear worm that never ends. Well, this one ends, but comes back on Mondays; not all Mondays, but many of them. There are a … Read more

Papa and I had a wonderful time at M-in-L’s home “up North” over the weekend. We ate a little cake, and visited. We had a brief visit with S-Dad, and continued on toward home. Since we were in the neighborhood, and hungry, we ate at Zenders something we rarely do. It was nice to sit … Read more

I guess this is the last trip to Sesame Street Live I’ll be making. I’ve enjoyed quite a run over the past few years. The first year GD2 went, she was just a baby, perhaps 7 months old. D2 came along, there was no way I could have taken all three otherwise. Anyway the other … Read more
I drove over to Jackson, Michigan yesterday to meet D2 and pick up GD2. She is the last per-schooler in our crowd, She is four. She’s a youngest child, and it’s obvious. She used big words, and has big ideas. She knew it was a long ride to Grandma’s, but she was resigned to that, … Read more
