This past Sunday was Mother’s Day and everywhere I looked I saw Mom. I went to get a skirt out of the closet and there was her handiwork. She had run two rows of elastic in the waist to make it smaller. The way she did it made it look like it had originally come […]
I know we all (or most of us) are hoping that we have had our snow for the season. It can be quite a challenge to keep everyone occupied when cooped up in the house. What things do you remember doing when you couldn’t leave the house? I remember playing board games, cards, and […]
It’s winter and too cold to be outside to walk around the neighborhood. I find the comfort of the recliner a little cozier than the frigid air on the face and feeling like an overstuffed Thanksgiving turkey from all the outerwear.

“Dear Santa, Please help my Nana and Pop-pop come to our house for Christmas dinner. Sometime they have a hard time getting in and out of the car. I miss them! Love, Timmy” To be continued……
This year I noticed the Christmas decorations appearing weeks before Halloween. Really?

Do you remember the fun it was to […]
