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
We have a small collection of toys that have been used by my “little” grandchildren during their visits for the past few years. Some were purchased at yard sales and discount stores. But, the best two toys were given to me. A lady with a maturing family posted about “two large bags of toys” that … Read more
I was just cleaning the food off my floor, and thinking of the past years. Strange, huh? GS1, his mother, and his brother came to live here about 11 years ago. He was thin, cute and smart. (Grandma’s talking.) We watched him play football and do some other activities. I did a lot of wash, … Read more
So, it’s begun. Health Club ads. Healthy food ads. The resolutions are upon us. Here’s one to ruin your day. Steak ‘n Shake introduces “Fruit and Frozen Yogert Shakes”.
This time, I actually said to Papa, “I went to bed the last time I thought a game was finished, and it wasn’t.” We watched the whole thing. I’m smug and satisfied not to be annoyed by the morning news.
2 ½ year old granddaughter’s alligator tears when I didn’t want to let her “watch”. As in, “I want to watch, please.” Anything, a Dora video, a “show” on TV, anything. The look on a mother’s face at the Science Center. GD2 (above) was building a tower. She accompanies every activity with paragraphs of explanation. … Read more
My young granddaughters were sniffling, and from that I caught a whopper of a cold. I slept in my chair at least part of the last two nights. I’m not better, it actually seems worse. No fever, just a bad cold. Yck!
Granny had fun yesterday. We went to the New Detroit Science Center. It was our first trip to this great museum, but it won’t be the last. D3 came with us, she is known as Aunt J to the little kids. We were a party of 5, with varying shades of red hair, from Aunt … Read more
I retrieved my “little grandchildren” yesterday. That’s GS3 and GD1 and GD2. They are 7, 4, and 2, considerably younger than GS1 and GS2, brothers who have lived here with their Mother, D1 for a few years. GS3 has this week off school, a happy thing. He can’t come as often as the girls, since … Read more
