The Angel on Gramma's Shoulder

It was a beautiful summer's day when Gramma took a nasty spill on some stairs. Thankfully, she was going up the stairs and not down. I shudder to think what her injuries would have been had she been descending. As it was, Gramma ended up with one hell of a nasty bruise on her knee, accompanied by... Sign in to see full entry.

Our Abuelita

Benzinha (aka Abuelita) is one of the kindest souls I have ever comunicated with (was going to say met, but we haven't actually met yet).

Not Exactly A Person, But . . .

Secret Confidant I don’t talk to him so much anymore, but there was a time I’d give my every thought, dream, wish, and problem up to him. I wonder if he thinks I’ve forgotten him.

My Be-A-Yacht -- Tonya

I met her about five or six years ago. She was living in Hawaii with her Navy hubby. They were stationed here for only three years. Once Ton and I get together, you couldn't tear us apart.

Jessie-Pooh

Her name is Jesslyn, but I call her Jessie-Pooh. I met her when I worked at the School of Nursing when she started there as a student helper. At first she was shy and quiet as could be. I thought she'd never come out of her shell. Boy was I wrong! I still remember the day Jessie-Pooh shocked us all... Sign in to see full entry.
