Lots of Reasons to Skip That, One Reason Not To, Colon What?

I don’t think I need a colonoscopy.  Sounds like  something I should skip, rearrange, forget, postpone, not worry about.  Problem is…well, I nagged my husband and best friend when they turned 50.  ”Gotta get one.  You’re at that SPECIAL age.  I love you too much not to nag you.  It’s not that bad, at least [...]

Grandpa and the Mini Clone

At first I thought B.B.’s attachment to her grandfather was just sooo cute.  Seriously, he’s a good enough guy and all.  I mean, I did marry him.  And…well, let me be perfectly clear…I’m not jealous…at all.  Really.  Not jealous at all.  It doesn’t bother me or slap me in my grandma face that the first [...]

What did your GrandKids Say Today? Mine said…

So, my granddaughter, age almost three, was talking to me in her living room the other day.  She waved her hand toward the wall on the the other side of the room and said, “See that guy Ron over there?”  
I looked at the pictures on the wall and recognized all the family and friends. [...]

Fishing, Baby, Yeah

What a day on the lake!  I went fishing with my husband and a friend.  I’m the one in the boat with my line tangled around the motor.  The one who snags not one, but two lines belonging elsewhere.  The one who is facing the wrong way all the time and, well, the one who [...]

The Best Toys Are Free

Today I watched my two granddaughters play in the mud.  We had hot chocolate made from a bucket of dirt and water from the dog’s dish.  We had the tea party to end all tea parties.  A muddy one to be sure, but one filled with giggles and dirt smudges and grins and that was [...]

A reversal of roles…Do I smell worse than the dog?

Last night I came home to the greeting of a a happy-faced dog with a smelly body. I wrote about it on my www.disorganizedorganizer.com site…She smelled not so good. Tonight our roles were reversed. We worked cattle this afternoon. I pushed baby calves up the alley and moved them where they [...]

A Bit Askew…Romance and the Outhouse

When we moved into our new home a few years ago, my mother commented as only a mother can, “It’s not square with the world.”  I, being a daughter, and always having a tendency to argue with the woman I most resemble said, “Mo-ther, the world is not square.  Remember, Columbus?  What’s he famous for?” [...]

The cows are calling

The cows are bellering.  Dad must be feeding…or one of them is looking for its calf.  I get such a kick out of the little brats.  They will be sleeping or playing or just standing around thinking about whatever calves think about and in doing so they ignore their mothers.  Yesterday I watched Teddy Bear, [...]

Dancing In Slippers

So my dishes are in the sink.  I’m still in my nightgown and it ain’t sexy, honey.  The shoulder is ripped, it is flannel, pale blue and I have on my bright red slippers.  The problem with these red slippers is they have the kind of rubberized bottom that makes it tough to slide around…dancing [...]
