Can You Hear Me Now?

Living in a 34 foot motor home has been an enlightening experience.   There are just two of us and a little white dog but the only time we aren’t in full sight of the other person is when we are in the little bathroom with the door shut.    Yeah … any sound from the bathroom [...]

Lynn bowls me over

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 [...]

What The … ???

Men!   I mean … MEN!   I tackled a huge project in the bedroom today.   Cleaned out the dressers and closet and cleaned off the tops of the dressers.   The dressers looked wonderful!   All that was left to do was haul the various piles to their designated new homes. Then Lynn decided to go to bed [...]

Mothers Graduate

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, [...]

Let’s Do It Myyyyy Wayyyyy

Okay, I have a confession to make.   There are times (not often) that I’m probably not all that easy to live with.     Today might have been one of those days.    Maybe I can blame it on all the coughing I did last night that took a large cut out of the quantity and quality of [...]

Loves Me, Hates My Purse

Ya gotta love a man who puts up with the likes of me and my purse.   I don’t know how many times he’s had to rescue it for me when I’ve left it beneath a table or under a chair, but today I just had to laugh out loud at what happened. I picked out [...]

What old people laugh at …

I don’t think I can do this justice.   I probably shouldn’t even attempt it.   It is rather embarrassing that as I get older some of the bodily functions that at one point in my life were taboo to speak of now make me bust up with laughter. Okay:    Background to this story: *  I have [...]

Even Wimps Can Be Responsible Parents

My grandchildren are hurling … puking … vomiting … with projectile force.   Their parents are having to clean up all manner of icky stuff because this flu hits without warning and the children sort of wake up in the middle of the process.      I have cleaned up many a terrible mess in my day, but [...]

feeling grateful for these things today

Not in order of importance … 1.  Close friends and neighbors.    When we came home from our camping trip and pulled into our little subdivision and drove past the houses of the people we’ve raised our children and grown older with I felt such a love for them all.     We been through a lot together [...]

Wednesdays This & That

Babies are so uninhibited.    I am sitting here typing while little Ande is beside me eating cheerios and filling her diaper … taking it in and putting it out simultaneously, without a care in the world.   If I catch her eye she gives me a big, happy smile to let me know she thinks I [...]
