Good Stuff
So much going on… Along with the arrival ( 4 weeks early!) of great grandson, Cecil, we received word that Mike is being recognized again by professional song writers. His mentor submitted 4 so...
Call me Great Granny
Little guy arrived around 7:00 PM. He came a bit early but is good size. Thank you God, for your gift and your never ending love.
Road Trip
Way back in 1981 I became a certified tax preparer. By mid-April of that year (and just about every year since!) I was ready to hit the road! It was time to make a trip to visit my parents… or...
BIG WIND DAY
I read that this day commemorates the strongest wind speed ever recorded…I forget where it was or how strong it was, but something over 240 mph… Now that’s some wind. The forecast here indicate...
One of those nights
I went to bed a few minutes past my usual time last night. I was wide awake. After I lay there for about an hour and a half I got up and went to the bathroom. Back to bed. Still wide awake. ...
Now what?
Guess I’ll try to keep up with both sites for awhile… I’ll have to do more writing than I have been, though.
I'm back on OD.

Oh, no!!!
Prosebox is going away! I am not sure I can handle another start. I’ll have to give it some thought. I’d sure miss my friends here… but I do follow some of you on Facebook. It’s not the same,...
Just checking in....
Not much new here, but it’s been awhile since I let you all know I’m still here. Holy week is here and Bob and I made it to church services yesterday, Palm Sunday. I don’t know why, but we have ...
Hello
I was surprised when I checked my last entry and found it was nearly 3 weeks old! I did write on facebook, describing our trip to Arizona. What a wonderful, wonderful trip we had. We are prett...
Dang it!!!

In honor of my 80th birthday (Feb. 21) and Bob’s and my 60th wedding anniversary (Mar. 14), our son and DIL are treating us to a long weekend in the Valley of the Sun. We will also toast their 3...
Hibernation
I am finally getting over the cold after two weeks of snorting, coughing and blowing. But I can’t seem to get enough sleep. If I sit down to read or watch TV, I doze off and am apt to sleep fo...

Poor kid can't catch a break
Granddaughter having surgery for appendicitis this morning. She’s the one who lost her job just before Christmas. She was able to find another, (better ?) one and started on Jan. 2. I don’t su...
Should auld aquantance be forgot....
Yesterday we had a lovely lunch and visit with Joyce, my best friend in college. I think it had been about 20 years since I last saw her. She lives on a farm in Wyoming. Her husband passed awa...
More good stuff...
Before 2017 is filed away into history, I wanted to add a couple more things to the record. Dec. 31 was a day full of surprises…all good. Early in the morning I was contacted on FB by the daught...
Out with the old
This is the next-to-last day of 2017. Looking back, I’m remembering some really scary times and some really good times. The scary times came with Bob’s health issues. In March he had a real bad...
First day of Winter
A little light snow here in the pre-dawn hour on the first day of winter. After several days of temps in the high 50’s, it’s not supposed to get above freezing today. The good news is that the...
Looking ahead
I never thought I would not be looking forward to Christmas. We have no plans whatsoever. Mike called yesterday asking what Papa and I had on our wish lists. Me: “We don’t need anything.” Mi...
Amazing weather
No measurable snow here in the metro since mid-October. Daytime temps hitting up to the mid-sixties… All this sunshine should make me feel good, but I seem to be fighting to keep myself out of t...
