I need shelving. The problem is, the house does not have enough area to cover my need, so some creativeness is warranted. Creativeness? I've got that. What I don't possess is the knowledge to carry out such a build to add storage, nor the funding for such a venture right now, so I have to... Continue Reading →

DUI Reenactment Message Gone Wrong
The local college's Arts Program's acting class was recreating an accident scene that had claimed the lives of four teenagers. The purpose of this graphic scenario was to motivate students to not drink and drive and since my own children were coming into the age of freedom (i.e., getting their own drivers licenses), I thought...

Doomed Washing Machine Cell Phone
Over the years, I've replaced phones more because I wanted to, not because I had to, although I have cracked a screen or two. Well, my current phone is sporting a couple cracks, which occurred within the first week of ownership. I decided I did not need to replace or fix it at the time... Continue Reading →
Hot Weather, Yard Work, & Christmas Music
Well, we put it off and put it off (and put it off), because of the heat Duncan has been experiencing, until today we realized our grass was taller than our sprinklers, so I geared up to do my part of the yard work in our weeks-long hundred-degree weather. This entailed putting on my sun... Continue Reading →
With All the Best Intentions…
Well, I posted the other day that my mornings would be started out with coffee and a morning blog. Yes, that jinxed my whole day yesterday! First thing that happened was that my computer monitor screen went wonky. I've never seen such pretty colors! It happened just as I clicked on the Google link, which... Continue Reading →
Another Week (and Summer) Coming to An End…
This summer is winding down, though one wouldn't know it by the temperatures we are experiencing. It's supposed to be 106 degrees on more than one day next week! I see back yard sprinkler play in my little grandsons' future, and of course for me, because I can't let them have all the fun now,... Continue Reading →
Bobby Darin
I have two little grandsons who are growing by leaps and bounds, as children tend to do. Having said that, I am introducing them to a variety of music so they can develop their own memories of growing up with the grandparents, like my kids did, like I did. It turns out that my littlest... Continue Reading →
Feeling Bankrupt
Today is one of those days where I simply do not want to answer my phone, because invariably it will be someone who wants something from me, and today I am empty, bankrupt. Ever felt that way, as if everyone wants everything you've got or wants to dump all their drama, woes, problems, issues on... Continue Reading →
The Assassination Attempt on President Trump
I've been watching numerous media videos on what took place today, specifically the attempt on Former (and Future) President Trump. The horror and the 'what ifs' are plaguing me tonight, and the one question at the top of my ever-growing list is, "what if Trump had turned his head even slightly?" This event would have...

4th of July Fireworks and My Gambaby’s Singing
When my oldest grandson was about four years old, I took him to see the fireworks on Independence Day, knowing it may be the first ones he might remember seeing with Grandma. We found a parking lot filled with other fireworks viewers who had brought chairs and snacks and beverages - it was almost like... Continue Reading →
