Last night was so much fun… but there were a few complications. While trying to help my oldest granddaughter get into her witches costume the zipper on her boot broke. The youngest granddaughter and her parents were waiting for us up town (or so I thought) and there was no time to go back home…
We are celebrating NanaHood’s 3rd birthday today… with a GRAND PRIZE post HERE… and a TRIVIA GAME post HERE… and now, we are doing one more. It’s a really easy game… it’s just a matter of sharing answers to our really cool fun silly “get-to-know-you-meme” below. The winner of this game will get a $30…
After reading yesterday’s post my friend Annette sent me the following. I liked/loved it so much that I asked her if she would share it with you and she said I could. This is Annette and me at her daughter’s wedding. Life has taught me…. by Annette Hepner …that I am more comfortable in…
In my last post I wrote about things I wish I had done differently when my children were little. My daughter read the post and said that in their “Baby Class” last week they had to write down things that they liked about the way they were raised. In other words, “What did your parents…
My six year old granddaughter has always loved having her picture taken. Even when she was just a toddler she would step in front of the camera and ask, ” Do you want me to make a cheese?” A few nights ago her Aunt Rachel and Uncle Gabe told her they would take her to…
This is a post about something that isn’t really important, at least not when compared to what I have been writing about. This is a post about a purse, my aqua blue leather purse that I bought while on vacation almost six years ago. This is not a good picture but this is the purse…
Thinking about retirement? You might want to think again. If you didn’t see the following article on NPR this week, you should probably read it. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/27/140680583/retirement-reality-not-as-rosy-as-expectations Then if that wasn’t enough bad news for you, try reading this one about being realistic about health issues that many retired folks will face. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/28/140853479/boomers-delusion-about-health-in-retirement?ps=rsung Many of the…
If my daughter had been trying for years to have a baby and couldn’t, would I be a surrogate and have one for her? Tough Question. If my daughter asked for a pair of new shoes or a microwave I could arrange that fairly easily. However, f I remember correctly a baby takes nine months…
How patient are you? Imagine for a moment that you are sitting in your car behind another car at a red light. The light turns green but the car in front of you doesn’t move. What do you do? Plan A. Lay on your horn and say things you shouldn’t. Plan B. Tap your horn…
My brother says that my sister-in-law has more shoes than Imelda Marcos. I don’t believe that, but she does have a lot of shoes. If you compare the number of shoes women have in their closets to the number their spouse has, I’m guessing women will win every time. If we’re honest about it, most women…
My granddaughter went to see Santa last week and refused to tell him what she wanted. “Why won’t you tell me?” he asked. “Because if I tell you then I won’t get what I want,” she said. No amount of reasoning can change Abby’s mind when it’s made up. Evidently someone at school had told…
