Phil's Surprise
When P.D picked up Grandson Phil at the adult daycare today, the manager informed Son of a Phil surprise for everyone. He described how Phil thought he'd try something new today. For those of you who might not have read my previous posts about Grandson Phil, he was born with Angleman's Syndrome--a...

A Lost Soul
A new experience for me today. Someone thought that I was a lost Alzheimer's patient wandering around. Usually it is me worried about someone else. Stephen and I were going to go grocery shopping together at HyVee. HyVee at Englewood & North Oak Trafficway is my favorite grocery store and has been...

"Mom" was not my first name, but it will forever be my favorite name, followed closely by "Grandma".

The Czech Side
It is fun to surmise from whence one came in the far distant past and imagine what it was like then and how times got from then to now. One can go only so far back with old photos, old letters, old family tales, but the more one learns, the more one wants to know. Curiosity builds on curiosity just...

Invite To An Outing
First day in a while that I have felt like anything other than an old decrepit geriatric.

But at the moment I can't think of anywhere to begin or which way to go from a beginning if I had...

Boundaries For A Great-Grandma
I thought I had run out of books to read--ones that I had never read before--I go through them pretty quickly since once I begin I do not want to stop until I reach the end. I didn't feel well. The barometric pressure on a dark, thick cloud-covered day had set my right-side sinus cavity to painful...

Very Deep Purple
Blinding flashes of lightening, rolling pounding thunder across the sky, pouring down rain and river of water running down the middle of the street, then when the rain finally stopped, it turned to snow. I think March is trying to go out like a lion. And....today, the Kansas City Royals are supposed...

No Rain Needed
Opening day for the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox at the Royals Stadium Kansas City--the opening pitch was to be thrown ten minutes ago. The fans came, but they are sitting in the stadium beneath small umbrella's and rain gear as the thunder rolls, the lightning flashes and the rain...
