A KITTEN KEEPER?

While I was in Detroit, Miss Dora, the hussy belonging to my grandson, Fred, gave birth to 3 kittens. When Fred found her, she was birthing in the litter box (she is very young, and this is her first time), and her kitten was dead. He installed her in the bathroom with a proper box, where she had 2... Sign in to see full entry.

AGE & LADYBUGS & ALEXIA

A busy, busy 3 days; quite active on the physical as well as the emotional level, one could safely say. It’s not my story, so I can’t really permit myself to write about it. Suffice it to say that Helen will be spending her weeks here now - finally. To ease the transition and keep her busy, I took... Sign in to see full entry.

ALONE AGAIN

An update on Alexia: Her fever had starting rising again and the antibiotics they have been giving her are causing much discomfort in her intestines, so poor wee girl is crying a lot. They have done tests to determine what type of bacteria/virus is causing this, and should have the results today,... Sign in to see full entry.

YEP - I'M BACK!

Alexia - she needs us The drive to Detroit was without incident and the time spent with Suzie is always good. Instead of visiting my favorite American department stores on this trip, we searched out flea markets. Suzie’s sister, who had come down with me, is an avid fan of such events. It was...

THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM?

If ever I get a little bored and want some activity around here (other than the usual stuff, I mean) all I need to do is plan a trip somewhere; it never fails! Tomorrow morning I am to leave for Detroit to visit Suzie for the weekend. This trip had been planned for months now, long before the menace... Sign in to see full entry.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON

I met her in the liquor store this afternoon. I noticed her as she approached the line waiting at checkout, her from one side, me from the other. If I was to guess her age, I’d give her late 80’s, but a young at heart late 80’s. Her round face dimpled under a head of a gray, cut in a short, sporty... Sign in to see full entry.

A PLOY?

With money tighter, you would think that I would pay more attention. It’s those combination-tables that do me in. You know the ones I mean? They catch your eye in a grocery or general shopping mart, which is my term for a Wal-Mart/Target/you-want-it-or-even-if-you-don’t-we-got-it store? There they... Sign in to see full entry.

THOSE BIG LITTLE THINGS

If this picture had been done by Ciel or TAPS, it would be more attractive. NOT one of my talents, unfortunately. Have you noticed how it works? That on those ‘down’ days, when events causing distress or frustration seem to pile up, there is always at least one thing will happen to make you smile?... Sign in to see full entry.

BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG?

Oh dear. It looks like I’m at the end of it now. I was hoping that collecting a substantial amount owed to me by a delinquent client would carry me through until I could find something else to fatten the coffers, but his cheques are not honored, which does me more harm than good. My one regular... Sign in to see full entry.

My bro's family -he is sitting behind me with his daughter, then his son's wife, the baby, and his oldest son. My SIL, Lori, is on the floor between me and the youngest son. Happy people!! And I’m back, as of 7 PM or so last night. The doggies were ecstatic, so excited that it was a fight to stay on... Sign in to see full entry.
