It Will Be Okay….
…our family received some disheartening news this last week about our precious new little grand-daughter. We had already been guarded about the potential of some unfavorable information because during the pregnancy, the ultrasound consistently showed a suspicious finding with the baby’s kidneys. The perinatologist indicated that it would periodically be monitored and when she arrived, [...]
Food and Fellowship
Good stuff!…yesterday we had friends over for lunch (we have named ourselves the “Old Farts”…hehe) and it was a joyous time of good ole’ visiting and sharing a meal together. During our conversation we were all reflecting on how the realm of communication has changed so dramatically with all the tech-devices around. Folks don’t talk [...]
Fish Stories
Oh, we’ve all heard them haven’t we…bragging about skill in reeling it in, size of the prized catch, massive weight, inclement weather, rough seas, etc., etc. Well, if you plan on moving to TX, you’ll serve time in jail for “fish stories”…that is if you’re in a tournament. Yep, the TX State Senate voted unanimously [...]
Laughter IS the Best Medicine!
I have Sirius XM Radio services in my car and have chosen some “fav” radio stations…one of them is “Laugh USA”. It is clean comedy that can be quite therapeutic depending on the kind of day I have experienced. Much of talk show radio is very intense, filled with hot topics, controversy, and a variety [...]
Can’t Wait for Next Week!
That is my daughter-in-law’s sentiment and ours as well…she has been on bed rest for about 5 weeks now as she was contracting at only 30 weeks gestation…our little grand-daughter Leah is anxious to be born. The doctor wants to get her to 36 weeks which is a week from today. We’re all very excited. [...]
Short Sleepers
I don’t know about you, but I need my 8 hours of sleep, but apparently there are some folks who get by just fine on 5-6 hours. They don’t even need a nap OR coffee! Apparently Geneticists and Neuroscientists at UCSF believe that short sleepers have a genetic mutation that allows them to still be [...]
That Time of The Month?…
…it’s not what you may be thinking. I’m always amazed when a certain time each month sneaks up on me and I think to myself, “didn’t I just do this?”. It’s when I pay the monthly household bills. And folks, I’m embarrassed to say, but I have not transitioned to electronic banking…I still write checks. [...]
Battle of the Wills
We had the privilege of babysitting our grandson the other night and when I arrived, my husband was already there and our son was attempting to feed the now one-year old. We were excited about giving my son and daughter-in-law a “date night”. I thought it a little troublesome that our son was allowing our [...]
Baby’s First Birthday
Where has the year gone?…it seems as if it was just yesterday that my son and daughter-in-law brought home a very tiny bundle of boy-joy and now he turned 1 on Saturday March 5th! He started walking at 10.5 months and now is starting to nod his head and move his body in a rhythmic [...]
Squeeze the Toothpaste in the Middle!…
…leave your dirty socks on the floor and not in the laundry basket, don’t put a new roll of toilet paper on the dispenser as warranted and please leave the seat up, don’t make the bed, do not load the dishwasher (and don’t run it when it’s full), keep the clean clothes on the couch [...]
