Santa Took Care Of The Problem

Finally, way after dark on Christmas Eve, Santa dropped off my cuties at Mid-continent International in KC. It took an hour or so for them to get their luggage and get out of the airport mess, but they are on the way to her sisters house to wind down and enjoy the love and happiness of Angelia's...

Four Days Late - So Far

This is a continuation of the last post. So, finally, on Christmas Eve, they have gotten as far as Dallas, Texas and are in the airport there hoping and praying for a connecting flight to Kansas City. I'm not sure how great-grand-baby is taking all of this, but probably better than is her daddy. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Has The Baby Arrived Yet?

Justi just asked me the subject question, and the answer is no. What a mess traveling is around the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's Eve holidays. To begin with, Peter, Angelia and Baby Marianna planned to drive from CA to MO for the holidays. Then, when the snowy weather started coming across the... Sign in to see full entry.

News & Politics Will Be The Death Of Me

All of my life I have kept up with world and local news, and with our country's politics, always voting, knowing what I believed, holding onto what mattered to me. But, I have gotten lost...not in what I think of as right or wrong, but what needs to be done about what is so blatantly wrong. News and... Sign in to see full entry.

Bezoar Endangerment

I must say that this was a new one on me--the bezoar thing. I never would have come upon it if it weren't for Richard and his happy-go-lucky way of doing things. Actually, I probably learned about it in nursing studies long, long ago, but if so it had completely slipped my mind in the passing years.... Sign in to see full entry.

Vintage

"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born." ~ Carl Jung When one gets to the point where they are living in the seventh decade of life, (well, I guess the seventies are actually the...

Singlestick Lessons

It is good, now and then, to post a follow-up to things one posted before. So, before I get into the singlestick lessons, I did want to say that I have my Subaru back to myself, I did go get my monthly supply of medicines, and made my trip to the library where I picked up three books each from an...

We Do What We Have To Do

A frittata for breakfast made from left-over broccoli-spaghetti and sprinkled with chia seeds isn't too awfully bad when one is running out of cupboard choices. Running out of choices in the food line has to do with loaning my Subaru to Son #3 for his use in shopping for a vehicle for himself. This... Sign in to see full entry.

Good/Bad Ratio

The Number One show on daytime television features a 70-year-old star who has a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. The show will keep running at least through 2015. I must admit that even though I do not like everything about it, it fascinates me and I watch it two or three times a week. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

5000 At One Sitting

Christmas is coming. Let the overeating resume. Thanksgiving happens to be the biggest specific episode of nation-wide overeating with a whopping total one-meal consumption of over 5000 calories each. I hope I didn't eat that much. I definitely did not count calories. All I know is that I was pretty... Sign in to see full entry.
