We bought this house four years ago. The owner offered us a great deal on a riding lawn-mower. I looked at my husband with watery eyes. “I want this mower.” That’s how it came into our lives. I do not have a car, but I have a lawn tractor. There are many different steps to… Continue reading NOT EASY RIDER
Retirement is not what I thought it would be at all. It is actually more tedious than going to work. It is definitely more stressful. My husband has a medical issue and we sit in the overloaded waiting room filled with old people our age. We have already been through the lab for a blood… Continue reading WAITING ROOMS
I loved Kindergarten. The teacher was a kind woman. The room was huge, at least to me. There was a big bay window on one end with wooden bench seats under it for all of us to have room to sit. Mrs. Johns would sit in her chair in front of us each morning and… Continue reading KINDERGARTEN
Our youngest son was in a bad accident yesterday. He was on an electric bicycle, and it caught on fire. He was thrown into a ravine. He is in intensive care and has multiple injuries: broken jaw, facial bones, one neck bone, and other injuries. He has a brain bleed, but it is not fatal. … Continue reading Our Son
My husband and I also had a German Shepherd. The breeder had a strange personality and I wasn’t impressed by the way she kept her dogs. I fell in love with a chubby alpha male puppy. He bit me when I tried to put him to his dog bed in the laundry room. He was… Continue reading Startled
We bought a German Shepherd puppy before we had kids. I had two of these dogs when I was young. One became a leader dog for the blind. The other had more aggressive tendencies. After school I would take this dog for a “walk.” I was young, and we went behind my school to run… Continue reading Terror on the Track
My daughter and I spent an inordinate amount of time in a local drugstore. We had to spray every test bottle of cologne on ourselves. We sorted through greeting cards, too. But, in the nail aisle things became serious. What color did she want? My nails are always short and ragged. She kept hers nicely… Continue reading Nailed Polish
I have already indicated that my cooking ability is jaundiced. I try. We lived in a condo development with a large clubhouse. All were invited to participate in a chili cook off. I responded, “Yes!” I spent a whole day on the chili making. I made a large batch of what my family knew as… Continue reading Chili Cook Off
When I taught Kindergarten, Fridays were “cooking” days. I kept it simple for the kids (and me). So one Friday I brought in a couple of toasters and loaves and loaves of bread. I mixed up a batch of cinnamon and sugar and put salt shakers out with the mix in them on each table. … Continue reading Toast
My husband and I have a bit of time on our hands since he retired. In other words, he needs entertainment. Every day is like a snow day with all four of our kids home waiting for something special to do that was also fun. We made tents out of blankets, watched all of Disney… Continue reading Eeeklipsed
