A dumb phone
Huh? Well, you are always hearing about “smart-phones”, right? And how pretty much EVERYBODY has one…except my husband! He refuses. He likes his simple-minded flip phone from Motorola. No internet access, no email access, no apps, and I say, no fun either! BORING! At least it has text and picture capability for crying out loud!, [...]
Merry Christmas?!
Okay folks, every where I go there are Christmas decorations that were there in September! I can’t take it! It’s too early for “Merry Christmas”! I only decorate two times of the year…Fall/Harvest/Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I like each one to have it’s own space. I want to enjoy the distinction and do not want [...]
What’s A Mechatar?
What will they think of next? Technology is a blessing and a curse. I can’t keep up with it, am a bit overwhelmed from time to time by it, but admittedly am addicted to the latest and greatest. Now, someone has come out with a toy that children (and I adults who act like children..hehe) [...]
We Will Get Through This…
…as I have indicated in a previous post, our #2 grandchild has kidney “dysplasia” that is moderately compromising her kidney function. When she was in the womb, ultrasounds were suspicious and then subsequent studies after she was born confirm that she has cysts on her kidneys. Physicians have indicated this will inevitably lead to kidney [...]
Remote Control Missing!
OMG! Sound the alarm, call in the coast-guard…well, at least call 911! That’s what one lady did according to an article I read today…yep, she called the authorities and reported a robbery…when police arrived, she said her TV remote control was missing. What?!? They actually helped her look for it and found it in a [...]
Vacation Time!!!
I’m rather excited about some downtime and our trip to the family lake house in Indiana this week! Doesn’t sound too exciting and that’s exactly what I’m hoping for…lots of nothing going on. In the 1930′s my husband’s grandparents bought a piece of land in an undeveloped, very rustic part of northern Indiana around “Lake [...]
I Have an Addiction…
…to my smartphone I’m embarrassed to say! Yep, there’s a whole new wave of psychological analysis about this because so many of us have an obsessive-compulsive illness…so many of us have a preoccupation and fixation with the darned devices! We can have fun and laugh about people being in love with their phone and buying [...]
Oh Boy, Here I Go Again!
From time to time, I get a “bee in my bonnet” and start going crazy about cleaning out closets and purging our house. I just don’t want us to get into a situation we were in a few years ago… …moving after 15 years in the same house. We set up a rule before packing [...]
Whoa, That Was CRAZY!
We took a day trip over to Santa Cruz yesterday to accomplish a few things: get out of the valley heat, be together with the kids and grandkids, and give the parents of a 5 week old and 16 month old a break by having 4 people care for the little tikes versus just 2…it’s [...]
Grow Up!
Our #1 son (going on 32 years of age) has been a bit of a challenge and has made life hard for himself by the choices he has made. For the longest time, out of frustration, guilt, sympathy, and wanting a better situation for him, my husband and I have been “rescuing” him from the [...]
