Eat It Cold!

I would never have believed that I couldn't live without a microwave oven. Ours blew its stack today, or whatever they do when they give up the ghost. I tried to give it CPR, but couldn't quite figure out where to place my hands for the thrusts. It definitely deserves a long rest, it is a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hands Behind Back, Fingers Crossed

I must apologize for having fun at my Blogit friends' expense in the last few posts on the subject of the one-eyed hen and Rosie's bag. I won't do that anymore. I say that with hands behind my back and fingers crossed. So here is what I have. It was written for my sisters, and is about a cousin of... Sign in to see full entry.

Fun In The Digital Age

Little ones are so terribly hilarious. If you aren't around them much, you have no idea what you're missing. Case in point, the other day my great-niece had her toddler with her in a public restroom. After she washed her hands and dried them on the air dryer and was ready to leave, she turned to... Sign in to see full entry.

Dragging My Feet

This is day four of 2013 and I have not yet begun working on the one New Year's resolution that I made to myself. Mind you, I have not given up on it; I'm just dragging my feet in getting started. In case you don't remember what that resolution happened to be, it was a determination to sort through... Sign in to see full entry.

How Big Is Massive?

The Stone Massive has dispersed. All have gone their own way for another year and, as far as I know, are now each ensconced in his own place, with his own peeps for a new attempt at making things count. So, how big is massive? Well according to he who knows, it's about "27". That's pretty close to... Sign in to see full entry.

Bells, Pomegranates and Innocence

"The year’s at the spring, And day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hill-side’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in His heaven—All’s right with the world!" ~ Robert Browning, Pippa Passes I'm looking forward to a wonderful year. Why not be positive? It... Sign in to see full entry.

Marine Babies

They have had a thing going for each other ever since they were born in the same hospital on the marine base, and the two families have become great friends. William and my Great-granddaughter Marianna have a great time with each other whenever they are together. William's mother made the outfits... Sign in to see full entry.

What's In A Name?

As I commented to lustorlove, Now that I have recognized it for what it (my cold/flu symptoms) is--some kind of bad virus and not just allergies, my sons are very attentive and offering to do any and all errands that I usually would do for myself. So I'm in my warm fuzzies and drinking lots of... Sign in to see full entry.

I Guess It Matters To Her

"Her pad includes shockingly sparse rooms with piles of purses on the floor." ~ Yahoo Celebrity News I thought surely you would be interested in that bit of information, plus the fact that, if you really want to, you are allowed to take a tour of her $8000/mo apartment. At least it would be a change... Sign in to see full entry.

The Who-Do

In an hour or so, are off to a big after-Christmas party in honor of my Marine Grandson, his wife and baby, at a reserved dining room in a nice restaurant. I call it a Who-do? because I have no idea who-do plan to be there. The invited guests are any of Angelia's extended family, Peter's extended... Sign in to see full entry.
