From the look in their eyes, I couldn't break the tradition or could I?

We had family over on Christmas Eve afternoon for lunch and presents and in the years past, our youngest daughter and family always leave early on Christmas morning to drive to her in-laws a few hours away. But with our oldest daughter who lives in the same town as we do, we have gone over to their... Sign in to see full entry.

well you know how that goes.... and most of us will have family and friends over to our house or will go to theirs and have a party of giving gifts and eating lots of food.

A Celebration for all...

I sat on the couch alone, this morning, and asked God to forgive me for not being the woman, the wife, the mother or the grandmother that I should have been all these years. And I asked Him to bless my home this coming year and to take away any anger, malice and jealousy that would keep my home from... Sign in to see full entry.

Angry parking spots...

Like attracts like.....................right? We can be courteous drivers or we can be angry ones at this time of year. How many times have you or I been ready to turn into a parking space and someone cuts in front of you and takes your spot even when you had your blinker on "claiming" that spot as...

Bad Habits, Good Habits and no Habits at all………………………………………

So with a "free" night's stay at the casino hotel not far away and a "free" buffet meal for two, we took off after our oldest grandson played basketball. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Laziness come with age?...

It seems when winter comes, I don't have that zeal for getting out and shopping and walking and shopping................. and I'm looking for a leather coat for myself so I went on-line this morning to look, rather than shop and walkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

A little sparkle among the dark days...

of winter. Well, today is a dreary day with gray skies and no sun in sight! I decided to pay a few bills downtown and since one store on my list was next door to a jewelry store, I decided to browse for an anniversary ring.
