No water in the house this morning. There’s a water main break (well, duh) but that’s all we can find out. The city hasn’t given the dispatch office any other information. [...]

I’ve signed up to participate in Ten on Tuesday, in which a bunch of us come up with our own answers to preselected topics. This week’s topic: Ten ways to entertain a child.
I managed to acquire grandkids without having kids myself and I have a serious background in aunting (is too a word) with various [...]
We were married in a small church a few miles from where I grew up. My sister Gail was my maid of honor, my brother Ronald walked me down the aisle. Jack’s brother-in-law Bob was his best man.
After the wedding and luncheon, most everyone went to an after-wedding party at my Mom’s home where the [...]

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the new [...]
Holiday week wrap up

We were out of the house at 5 am this morning taking Carrie to the airport. When we drove by Wal-M* the parking lot was packed with bargain hunters. Ditto the strip malls. It was weird to have the streets full of traffic at that hour.
We decided to get breakfast out of the way on [...]
Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl. She was the youngest of a bunch of kids. While her mother insisted she loved all her kids equally, the little girl was certain she was her mother’s favorite.
(No, this isn’t about me, although Mom did love me best. <snark>)
The little girl’s dearest wish was [...]
