Just a Lovely Lazy Weekend!

I have just laid back all weekend for the most part. I started a jigsaw puzzle on Friday and can’t stay away from it. Oh well, it’s almost done and then I can start another one. It’s also been a weekend of sports. My college team won it basketball followed by by Pistons winning on a tip in at the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sad or Happy Time for America, Only Time Will Tell.

I Have never felt more ambivalent in my entire life than I have today. I don’t know if I should be afraid of Trump or support him and hope for the best. I hope that Congress will not allow his policies go forward that will jeopardize others in the world. I think this platform of make America great... Sign in to see full entry.

All’s Quiet on the Western Front!

Thankfully this latest storm left the snow in the higher elevations. We got rain in the valley and it’s going to be above freezing for the next two with limited snowfall. I believe it will end up being an icy mess by Sunday morning! If the water could run off it would be better but there’s too much... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Living The Life! The Snow Continues to Dominate the Valley!

We are under a severe alert. The higher elevations are going to get the brunt of the storm while the valley will get up to 6 inches of new snow that will change to freezing rain. The weather is going to be above freezing tomorrow. The result will be ruts left in the road. It took more than week last... Sign in to see full entry.

When Words Fall on Deaf Ears! It is Frustrating!

I have helped my former neighbor with her bill paying and budgeting. I have got her back on schedule at least three other times. Each time she will not follow the plan and gets herself into deep trouble. This last time that she came to me I told her that my words fall on deaf ears because she... Sign in to see full entry.

What a Day! Shopping, Shopping, Shopping…

I spent the day with Jessica as I do on her days off. The exception is when she is off the same day as her husband! I wouldn’t want me around, either! Actually they like having me over, but in winter they hit the slopes at every opportunity! Today, Jessica was looking for thermal underwear, boots,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Weird Encounter with Amazon!

I ordered a Star Wars Rogue One Pez collector tin on Amazon. When it arrived it was dented. It was essentially worthless. Mik is a Pez collector and has been since he was 4. That’d 30 years of collecting so giving him a dented tin wasn’t going to work for me. I immediately went to Amazon to see how... Sign in to see full entry.

My Daughter-in-Law Manages To Keep The Fires Roiling! WOW!

My DIL posted on Facebook that it was tough being a small business owner! First, I would hardly consider what she does as a small business. Secondly, she makes jewelry that is far below quality, merely wrapping stones and crystals in wire and suspending them from a cheap chain. She has a few items... Sign in to see full entry.

My Son-in-law Gets The Last Laugh, If He Wants It!

Last night the road grater came through my neighborhood to plow the streets. I can now get out and about without trouble, although I could before it’s nice not to have to worry! I just have to clear the area in front of my driveway but it’s too cold today to take that chore on! I haven’t said... Sign in to see full entry.

Social Media is Such a Pain, and Most Infuriating, Especially FACEBOOK!

My SIL really likes Facebook. He posts a lot of video on things he and my daughter do. He’s quite creative and puts them together with music. Last night he was rather frustrated and voiced his thoughts on his page. I didn’t see the post but my daughter called me today and she told me about his post... Sign in to see full entry.
