4 Quick Errands Took 4 Hours, And Most Of It Not At The Stores!

Jessica and I had today planned to pick up the last minute things needed for Christmas Eve and Christmas day dinner. The snow began shortly after I got to her house. She thought she was done with opening gifts on day 13, but I had her fooled big time. I didn’t mention that I was waiting on my final... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Winter Weather Advisory For My Area!

Jessica and I have some last minute thing to take care of tomorrow but the weather may stop us in our tracks, or at least make it difficult! I am hopeful it will hold off until we are done with the planned stops! If not there’s always Saturday! And I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas Eve! When I... Sign in to see full entry.

The First Day Of Winter Has Arrived And BRRRR!

We had freezing rain late yesterday afternoon. It accumulated to about a ¼ inch on my windshield. The roads were not as bad as I had anticipated. I never go out this time of the year unless it’s an absolute necessity! Or, if my daughter wants me to come by for coffee when she goes into work later in... Sign in to see full entry.

On The Cusp Of Winter! There’s An Upside To It!

When the Winter Solstice comes it is the shortest day of the year as well as the longest night! After that the days begin to get longer. I have noticed a pick up of a minute each day resulting in an hour and a half. Factor in the spring ahead time change and that’s a lot of daylight in a three month... Sign in to see full entry.

First Family Crisis As It Were For The Holidays!

My brother and his family lived with me for a second time since they moved to Idaho. Their rent increased dramatically and they felt the only way they could get a home was to vacate their rental and live with me. I am not an easy person to live with because I like everything tidy all the time! If... Sign in to see full entry.

Not One Gaffe, Not Two Gaffes, But Three Gaffes and I Suspect I’m Out! LOL!

I think Jessica has caught on but she is humoring her mother! I knew that she went to work at 10:00 a.m. today but by 9:30 I did not get my usual text on the opening of her day 6 of 12 days. So I sent a text to see what the hold up happened to be! LOL! She had her staff Christmas party last night so... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s Cold Outside But I’m Burning Up Inside, A Long Slow Burning…

I have spent the better part of the day trying to fix problems on my laptop! It’s difficult because my knowledge is quite limited. I have been frustrated, then angry, then even more angry and finally exceedingly angry! It all started when I authorized an update. It seemed simple enough but when the... Sign in to see full entry.

AHA! The Joke, Of Sorts, Was On Me Today!

I got the video this morning of Jessica opening day 4 of the 12 days of Christmas! And she said thanks for the pasta bowl! I said, “What?” Lol I knew it was a pasta bowl but it had the same edge as the bowl with the handle on it so I thought she could use it for Chex Mix concoction or anything along...

The Twelve Days Of Christmas Have Never Been More Enjoyable Than...

I am getting more mileage out of this gift giving to Jessica than I anticipated. Her husband is making videos and then she texts them to me! LOL! Today was especially fun because she got a snowman all purpose bowl. He looks like he’s kicking back in a hot tub! So funny to hear it from my SIL on the... Sign in to see full entry.

One Fine Treasure In The Treasure Valley!

I have a fine neighbor. First, he is as genuine as they come. Second, he’s not a well man at all. Third, he’s rather young, mid thirties is my best guess. There’s no gray hair so I am certain he’s not in his 40’s plus his children are rather young, not that that makes a difference these days. [Just... Sign in to see full entry.
