Do NOT Celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Huh? Well, that is if you are in Russia…apparently, the government authorities are issuing warnings about this and other holidays as “…holding them primarily benefits commercial organizations…”. They see it as an “unhealthy foreign phenomenon”. Mmmmmm, I kinda like that sugar-high, chocolate-induced coma that a box of candy can provide! Hehe. Oh, and they also [...]
It’s a Girl!!!
The marvel of technology has recently revealed a most precious secret of creation…our children are having a little girl. Now, I know what you’re thinking (just as I did)…just because there is no “appendage” does not necessarily guarantee it’s not a boy, right? Well, apparently in some circumstances this can be the case, but in [...]
Out of Great Sorrow Comes Great Joy…
…a few years ago, my son experienced deep sorrow when his wife of three years (and in a relationship with her for seven…meeting in college), announced to him that she no longer wanted to be married. It was a total shock to my husband and I, and just as shocking to our son. He’s of [...]
Baby’s First Christmas!
Yep, I’m already going crazy, driving my husband crazy, and will be hosting the big celebration on December 25th…we expect about 35 people…whew! Our grandson is 9 months old and we are enjoying his antics…smiling, laughing, screaming, crawling, standing for seconds at a time, being very responsive, and oh, did I tell you he’s very [...]
Baby’s First Christmas!
I’m already out-of-control with the decorations, gift-buying, picture-taking, mega-planning and the like…what am I going to do when #2 grandchild arrives for next Christmas? Go doubly crazy I suppose! Oh, but it’s a blast and I’m driving my husband crazy too!…as we were (or I should say as “he” was unloading the Christmas decor boxes [...]
The Dog is Back!
My husband and I had counted the days when our son and daughter-in-law would be moving from their “no pets” apartment to their new home so we could award them with my son’s dog. Casey had lived with us for about 3 years and it was time to go! Don’t get me wrong, we do [...]
The Christmas Tree is Up and Decorated…
…at my son and daughter-in-law’s home. Normally I would really have a problem with this as I love keeping my holidays separated and enjoying each to the fullest…I put up Fall/Harvest items the beginning of October and don’t take them down until the day after Thanksgiving and I lament all the Christmas decorating push even [...]
I Love Peanut Butter!…
…so I should try to attend a festival in Grand Saline, TX, on November 13th. Folks there are gong to attempt to build a 950 lb PB & J sandwich! It’s to celebrate “National Peanut Butter Lovers Month”. “Nutty’s Gourmet Peanut Butter” is a co-sponsor along with a local grocery store and the local food [...]
Baby’s First Halloween
We are looking forward to tonight! I purchased the “radio flyer” wagon, the monkey costume is all ready to go, I have my pumpkin suspenders and black/orange-stripped hose on, and lots of candy in hand. What a thrill to participate in all these holidays for the first time with our grandson who is now 8 [...]
Kaos Finds My Sister (or vice-versa)!
My sis Tammy lives in Bakersfield so we get to see one another on a regular basis…we have a great time with one another and share “stories” and recall funny incidences as often as we can. There was the time that she and I lived in Modesto and she had a job that necessitated her [...]
