The 82nd Airborne Division is an active duty airborne infantry division of the United States Army, specializing in parachute assault operations into denied areas. It is based in North Carolina. Grandson Michael is a part of it. Actually, right now, he is thrilled because it is snowing there. He just... Sign in to see full entry.

I Was Wrong

It seems that I have to say that "I was wrong" thing more often than I used to. Or perhaps I just used to refuse to say it and go on? Well anyway, I must apologize to anyone who read my last post here. I really goofed. I looked at Sis's flight schedule a little more carefully (the one where she goes... Sign in to see full entry.

All Around Robinhood's Barn

So, I do not fly anymore. This is the reason why....well one of the reasons anyway. My Baltimore Sis made arrangements to fly to Melbourne, AU next month to visit her son there, so she bought tickets, and I cannot believe her flight schedule. I drew the black lines with arrows pointing in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Fake Food For The Fake Kitchen

The room in their big old house, that is going to be the library when Peter gets home to finish it, is temporarily Baisy's fake kitchen. She got the toy stove and a toy cabinet, complete with utensils, fake pans and fake food for Christmas presents. She loves all of it, but her favorite thing in it... Sign in to see full entry.

Funny Mummy Bird

I was attacked by my computer chair a while ago. It actually tried to throw me off onto the floor. I don't know what got into it, but it was like a bucking bronco, or an amusement park ride. Totally nauseous and dizzy, I turned the chair upside down to see what was wrong with it. Somehow it had come... Sign in to see full entry.

Rock-Bottom Frigid

Well, I did it now. In my post titled Day Three of my blog TAPS' Take, I made my Sons sound really bad, and lazy, and selfish, and spoiled. I really didn't mean for it to sound that way. Sometimes my mind is running in certain directions and my fingers in another direction on the keyboard. I really... Sign in to see full entry.

NSA Loves FB

Today I think I fell into the clutches of the government's dragnet domestic surveillance programs, though they have long been discrediting the secrecy claims. It's just a feeling that I have after being accosted during a FaceBook visit by a couple of people who are always wanting to chat when they... Sign in to see full entry.

They'll Be Back

My nearest neighbor outside of the apartment complex is an old man who has lived here forever. Actually, to begin with, he had a good-sized little farm. He and his wife raised their children here and eventually I-35 came through their property cutting it into two pieces. Around 1960, with his... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Almost Here

Last day of 2013. What will the new year bring? Been celebrating New Year's Eve in Kansas City for 75 years. Tonight it will be the 76th. I've celebrated in many ways, with many people, seen lots of changes, seen loved ones come and go. Now 2014 is on it's way. It won't be an easy one for a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.
