Isn’t it funny how a long, lost memory pops into your mind when you least expect it? Today, for instance, I was thinking I needed to take some toothpaste out to the motor home so, naturally, the small dresser that used to belong to Great Grandma Rose flashed into my mind. (Strange memory link … [...]
It is amazing what getting a nice hair style and highlighting will do for an old woman’s ego. I think half of the fun is visiting with KayDee Smith, the cute young girl who I go to. I had to go get it highlighted after one of the sisters at church asked me if I’d [...]
When you are a grandmother with seventeen grandchildren from the age of eighteen on down to one year old, you have constant reminders of the years that are behind you. Anna started Kindergarten this past week. Just look at that happy, beautiful little face. She is so excited, so proud of herself for being five [...]
Lynn and I went bowling today. He bowled 129 and I bowled 111, which for me is probably the highest score of my life. It reminded me of our second official “date”. We grew up together in the small town of Draper and our best friends were siblings so we spent time together all our [...]
Dear Sherry, I sat in the car looking at this beautiful view of the ocean last week while baby Kai napped and the rest of the group went for a tour of a light house. It gave me a quiet moment to think of you, my dear friend for the past 30 years. I wanted [...]
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’ve been thinking … Mothers are responsible that their child is clean, fed nutritious food, has clean clothes, makes good friends, does their homework, practices the piano, learns their manners, respects adults, learns to work, has time to play, and learns how to obey … Mothers share their dessert, their drinks, [...]
Well how cool is this? I have been selected to be spotlighted and receive a bouquet of flowers! All this just because I’m the mom of moms! Not too hard to qualify for that one! The works already done. Not only that, until Mother’s Day my readers can get a 15% discount on flowers by [...]
I spent the evening browsing through family blogs … my kids and the nieces and nephews … What fun! It brings back so many memories of raising my own family when I read the clever things the children say and the struggles the mothers have to keep everything under control. Sometimes it doesn’t seem very [...]
This isn’t my actual car. I bought my car used for $500.00, but it was still sporty looking. My car didn’t have a back seat and seemed shorter in length than this picture. The two seats it did have were very low in the car … perfect for teenagers but I can’t imagine very [...]
Like most young girls, my first income was from babysitting other people’s children. A good wage for babysitting back then was 25 cents an hour. That is a dollar for four hours! Sometimes, it was less if the parents couldn’t scrounge together enough change. Babysitting included but was not limited to: tending from one [...]
