  • We had a visitor yesterday. Our 2nd-oldest grandson, Jordan. He is the one who was supposed to go to Iraq. As of now, that is off. More about that later. He rode his motorcycle from LaCrosse to Fond du Lac to visi…

  • Helenapastafina gave me this challenge: I have tagged you to do a little survey on your Xanga.1) Total number of books I own? I don't own a lot of books----maybe about 100. But if you count cookbooks---about a gazill…

  • Several of you asked questions about the poem in the last blog. I first heard it on a Miss America Pageant in the mid-50's. One of the finalists recited it, and I cried. When I had to recite a poem for Speech class i…

  • Today's blog is for "T----". She is a young, home-schooled girl. In her blog, she wrote about a poem she had to memorize. I told her about my favorite poem. She asked me to put it in my blog, so she and others could…

  • Went to Dr. for annual checkup today. Everything Ok. Took blood to check cholesterol, liver function, glucose levels. Par for the course. She has a new nurse, and had a lot of fun with her. Lots of joking going on. …

  • Today, I will tell you about our town. We live in Two Rivers, (population 13,000) which is located on Lake Michigan--about 85 miles north of Milwaukee. If you look at a map, you can see we are on a little knob that sti…

  • This time last year we were complaining about how far behind all the shrubs and trees were in coming out. Now, have discovered that this year is even worse! Last May 16, I took a picture of our Mountain Ash. Compare…

  • Some "Thump" woke me up at about 3:30 this morning. No idea what it was, but I got up and went potty. Looking out the bathroom window, I noticed it was very light out. Went and got my coat and went outside and saw ano…

  • Our household is back to normal again! Jeff came Tuesday evening and stayed overnight. He brought along Gretta and Kenny--their two youngest. They all left for LaCrosse yesterday around noon. I took a 2-hour nap in …

  • Well, since Jacob is still sleeping, I decided to write my blog now. We had fun shopping yesterday. He was looking for a folder to carry all his CD's and DVD's in. He has over 100 of them. He saw a couple at Office…

  • From reading your blogs, it sounds as though you all had a great Mothers Day! I got calls from both boys, which made me happy! And we have grandson, Jacob, here now. Picked him up from the airport in Milwaukee yeste…

  • Just wanted to wish all you moms and grammas out there a very Happy Mothers Day! Hope you all have a wonderful day. Here is one of my favorite pictures of my Mom. This was taken before she and Daddy were married. She…

  • For those of you who are new readers, or who have forgotten why Jeff bought the bus: Jeff hates the winters here as much as I do, and wants to go someplace warm. In two years time, Hannah, now a sophomore, will have gr…

  • This certainly is getting to be more like a "Dear Diary" than anything else. I am VERY thankful we have the 12 Grands, because I wouldn't have very much to talk about otherwise!! Our oldest Grandson, Jacob, called this…
