WaterFire Time

The "WE" of sister comradeship and personal interaction is over for the year (except for a sleepy goodbye at the airport very early in the morning). It is back to majoring on email and blackberry pictures and phone calls until we meet again in person. The "WE" that I will be blogging about will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Hurlyburly

Sis, Sis, Sis and I had quite the visit in the special lounge at the Nursing Center the other day. As usual, with four old ladies all talking at the same time, the most oft repeated question was, "What was I saying?" Baltimore Sis had brought us each our own box of Rheb's Chocolates. She claimed... Sign in to see full entry.

A Sunday Scrabble Afternoon

I speak with aplomb when I say that you will assoil this blogger, I'm certain, and not consider it a hamartia of my personality if I fail to show on Blogit as I ought in this week's nimiety of garrulous sister jocundity. With sisters all being myrmidons of word games and philomaths to the nth... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping Things Straight

Step-grandson's stepson, who is also great-grandbaby's cousin and grandson's nephew-in-law had to go to the ER for head-wound staples, for the second time in three months, after a crash on his bike. That's not so good. If that happens too many times someone official will be checking up to see if... Sign in to see full entry.

My Kingdom For A Hidey-hole

I need to start thinking about a bit of entertaining. I did so much of that for so many years and enjoyed every minute of it, but I finally got my fill of it. Now it is like, "Oh no! I need to entertain. What do I do? I must dust! I must vacuum! I must mop the kitchen! I must clean the mirror in the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think I Know Why

For a hundred years or more, people have been trying to figure out why the chicken crossed the road. I've heard, and read, a lot of good reasons, a lot of hilarious reasons, reasons that made sense and reasons that didn't. All I know for sure is that I go across the road nearly every day, at least... Sign in to see full entry.

Chasing Autumn Leaves

What a beautiful day for an outing. I just about wore myself out. There's no place I'd rather be in October than in Kansas City. Beauty is everywhere. Even when I take out the trash...I get a splash...of vibrant colors. When I drive to the store...get plenty more...golds and reds and rusts, every... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Days It Doesn't Pay To Get Out Of Bed

I hate being laughed at by my sons if I make a mistake and they are cracking up all over the place about, "Mom, you're a turd! HAHAHA." But, I had them going for a bit and so I had one on them too. They love talking about the weather forecasts and their barometers, the barometric pressure, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Made A Dickey

I hate to waste perfectly good things (esp. clothing) that have never really been used (worn), just because there is some little thing that doesn't suit me about it. Usually my problem stems from the fact that I hate to try on clothing in the store, so I assume it will look good on me once I get it... Sign in to see full entry.
