Weird Week
We spent a week away from “home” (in my case, home isn’t so much where the heart is, but rather where we are living at the time), visiting my parents and attending a reception given for our daughter at Texas A&M. We took my parents along as we visited friends we haven’t seen in a […]
Was That What I Think It Was?
This past week, on a backroad to a small Texas town, I was approaching a corner in the road that blocked my view of where the road would go up the hill after crossing a small creek. A motorcycle police officer, his lights flashing was riding down the centerline and moving cars like me to […]
Preparations for Christmas
The last package has been mailed off. The tree is up. Gifts were given to our great neighbors. We’re back in Texas. I’m ready for Christmas. Almost…. The older I get, the less I like to cook. I haven’t planned any meals for the coming holiday when Daughter and Son-in-law will be here. I know […]
Funny Astronauts

I posted a simple thing, something like I was happy my case of Covid was mild and was glad I had the vaccinations because the hospital was […]
I Won the COVID Lottery

Jensen was sick (headache, fever) for two days and then fine. It took me a month to get back to work and another two months […]
What Comes Next?
Before the pandemic, Hubby rarely went through a drive-through line. He said it was too confusing and took too long. Even at fast food places, we parked, went in, and carried out food. To me, it was a waste of time, but I always caved unless I was driving. Our rule is the driver gets […]
Stop the Hate
In past blogs, I’ve hinted at my interest in finding my roots. I’m interested in names and dates, but more than that, I’m interested in what influenced my ancestors to do what they did that put me where I am today. At the same time, I wonder what my descendants will think of my decisions […]
