While I was driving today one of the people interviewed on NPR was a specialist who deals with itching, Dr. Atul Gawande. Some itches are caused by things you can diagnose … like the itch from the mosquito. Others, perhaps, are “in your head”. It just so happens that I am an easy itcher and [...]
This is a kid’s game, right? Obviously it was made for children … it has little animals that talk and trade, plant fruit trees, barter, fish, catch bugs, upgrade their houses, make friends … learn to save money? Okay … I confess … I’ve been playing this game since I first got my Nintendo DS [...]
Quite a few years ago our sons were helping Lynn take out a hall wall so we could make it wider … the other side of that wall is in the garage. It was a big family affair and you know how brothers are … they started getting some crazy ideas and challenging each [...]
I ran across this photo today and it brought tears to my eyes as I thought of the trips we used to make to Disneyland with busses full of adults with cognitive disabilities. You can’t see who these three men riding side by side on the Merry-Go-Round are but the middle one is Lynn, my [...]
The following is a story someone shared with me. “There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’ One day, someone donated a pair [...]
Oh, excuse me … neither of them are like the other. This is Lynn on his way out the door for work. Would you call this a “Senior Moment”? I’ve looked and looked and looked at this picture and I just don’t get the size of the pant leg on the right side. I mean [...]
Okay, Okay … so I have 16 grandchildren and think they are darling … and it’s my blog so I can spotlight them. This little chubster is Ande … named after her grandma … Edna … (Ande is Edna backwards). She took a nap on the sofa in our TV room today and when I [...]

Isn’t this a marvelous picture? Lynn’s grandfather is the tall man standing in the back on the right. You can see he was a lot taller than an average height person. His name is Reihnold Gotfried Henke and this picture was taken in 1915. Because the altitude (8,745 feet) is written on the side of [...]
This was taken about 42 years ago by a Polaroid Camera. I’m grateful we were able to scan it in and save the picture as a lot of my old pictures are slowly deteriorating. I look at this picture and think how naive we were back then, just a few months before we were married. [...]
I came across this picture tonight and had to laugh at it again. It was taken a few years ago when my grand daughter, Kerra, had a loose tooth that my son, Brett, wanted to pull. She wouldn’t let him touch it so he said, “Well the tooth fairy will probably check on you [...]
