I wrote this last year, and never “published” it. Our son is now home and ran for cover last night when someone set off some sort of sky-rocket fireworks. It caught him by surprise and he did what he was trained to do. Sigh. I’m publishing this – not so much for the Civil War…

Short and sweet this week, but packed with information! As you may have heard, my daughter-in-law and grandkids were in a car accident on Memorial Day weekend. Nobody had any major injuries. The kids seem fine. So let me say now… “IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO BELONG IN A CAR SEAT – USE IT!” …

Oh, the itching! Don’t scratch it, it will make it worse. I know but… the itching! Don’t scratch it. Oh, even just lightly touching it feels so nice. Don’t scratch it. I know, I know. Don’t scratch it. ARGH it itches! Scratch, scratch, scratch. Sigh, I shouldn’t have done that. This is the conversation going…

I posted a quick status post about this earlier in the week. I thought I might elaborate in this week’s BLOG – grin. How do you answer when someone asks you “How are you?” or “How ya doin’?” Think about it. It happened to me just this evening. I asked someone “How are you?” and…

While mowing the yard (with a self propelled push mower) today, I got to thinking how I felt – grin. Last week I think it took me about two hours to mow the back yard. When I mentioned this to my husband he was surprised. I told him that was as fast as the mower…

Dreams are so weird This is a dream I had last week… I’m getting ready to go on a cruise to meet up with my folks at some tropical location. It’s boarding time and I realize I have left my purse in the car. Somehow I am through security without ID – it’s a dream…

While traveling recently, I was in a gas station/mini mart (unnamed) when I overheard a conversation between two young (7-10) children and their mother. It went something like this… Kids: Can we get these? Mom: No, I think we’ll go across the street and get some chicken nuggets. Kids: But we want these, and they’re…
