I would like to believe that one of the great­est gifts I ever gave my chil­dren was their love of books, but more impor­tantly, their love to read. It is my mis­sion to be the grandma to my grand kids that pro­vides them with a library from birth and encour­ages them every way I can, […]

My grand­daugh­ter just infomed me that there are nose boogers and eye crusties. She says, and I quote “Eye crusties are just like nose boogers only not wet.” So now you know

Does any­one besides me think wind advi­sories are funny? Oh, okay, I can’t tell it is windy out. I under­stand severe thun­der­storm warn­ings and tor­nado warn­ings and bliz­zard warn­ings but are wind warn­ings really nec­es­sary? Case in point..I look out my win­dow to see branches, old garbage and any­thing not tied down skip­ping across the […]

My son has moved me to a new blog­ging site. This is my first blog there so rather than waste words, will just see if this goes thru. HI EVERYONE!!

In all the years I have lived here, never have I seen or heard as many birds arriv­ing back at spring time as this last week. If  you have ever seen the movie “The Birds” and the sound the birds are mak­ing as they walk out of the house, and the amount of birds in […]

What hap­pened? One minute the sun was shin­ing, few clouds, the next time I looked out it was gray and I could see fog creep­ing in. My hus­band got home from work and I asked if it was very foggy out. He said it wasn’t bad at all. We so dif­fer on what “bad” is […]

Hav­ing raged on in my last post about the ter­ri­ble M&M com­mer­cial, I will, in my defense, share with you an excel­lent com­mer­cial. Amtrak has a new com­mer­cial out. Very short. Very clean sim­ple lines of a train speed­ing down the track. The cap­tion reads “Prac­tice Ran­dom Acts of Trav­el­ing”. Now that, my friends, is […]

Was watch­ing TV this morn­ing and saw a com­mer­cial for M&M’s. A sexy green M&M is mak­ing a very sexy  com­mer­cial  and as she leaves she has to shut the jaw of one of the cam­era crew. Pray tell. Who decided  we need to sex­u­al­ize M&M’s? Will peo­ple stop at noth­ing to get their point […]

Paul Har­vey has died. I am very sad. The broad­cast world has lost a leg­end.  A gen­tle yet thought pro­vok­ing man, I have lis­tened to him for over 25 years. I espe­cially loved his “The rest of the story”.  I missed him on the air when he went thru what­ever voice prob­lems he was having, […]
