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.

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...
