Blessings

Monday, June 30th, 2008

It has been more than a year since we have had anyone over for dinner. As Granny has gotten older, she has become more self-conscious about her appearance, and is reluctant to be around new people. So, it was a surprise when she suggested last week that we invite the Attorney to Sunday dinner in [...]

In response to my  post where I went off on a water sports tangent, Sue of Fairview pointed out that pee-pee is good for disinfecting wounds.

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Drop a bit more Cool whip on there for me, will ya?”
Granny held out her plate of half-eaten pound cake in my direction.
