Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

  • Nains in Pleasant Hill…..

    ‘Nain  may not be the first word he said…but it was the first word that we were positive about what Jaxon was talking about. It has become the sole mission of the adults in his life to help him surround himself with trains.  Friday, Papa and Nina took him downtown Pleasant Hill to visit the caboose… Read more

  • St. Dana…

    My heart is with my friend, Gena today.  Her daughter is struggling to live at the hospital in Des Moines.  Our family knows her daughter by the name of St. Dana because of the above and beyond care she gave to my mom and Aunt in their last years.    She was always there for… Read more

  • Cops vs black America….

    I have been so torn about how I feel about the police vs the black community.  I will always give the police the benefit of the doubt…until you have had that adrenalin rush and rush of initial fear when having to deal with the scum of our society (white, black, yellow, purple or orange) and… Read more

  • Reading about #Sally Hemings..

    Not going to go very deep into this subject because I fear the hate it stirs up…and I don’t need or want the negativity in my life right now; and, I have no desire to spend any amount of time defending my words when those who will want to argue don’t know what is inside… Read more

  • It was totally worth the wait….

    Mildly disappointed that they don’t have the strong peonies scent but they are beautiful.  Color is my thing…I’m very moved by color and my mood is affected by color and music, of course. Finally got cushions for the rocking chair that I bought last fall at Ice House Auction.  Jax has been trying to sit… Read more

  • I seriously feel like a kid….

    The Heritage Carousel at Union Park in Des Moines just makes me feel young and giggly!  I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.   http://www.heritagecarousel.org/history.html Saturday he and I met Gena and him-in-law in Colfax, had Casey’s Pizza, went to the Colfax Main Street first concert of the season featuring MY band, Slipstream! http://www.slipstreambandiowa.com I have a… Read more

  • I’m revealing two secrets…one word – granola and trying to hide Baxter’s affair.

    If you have experienced the effect of granola, I will not have to explain.  If you haven’t experienced the effect of granola, I encourage you to buy a bag of it and eat a lot of it!  Then you can pass on the knowledge so to speak. After lunch with Brenda yesterday and a couple… Read more

  • It’s apparently just the red neck thing to do….

    It’s the way he painted the deck table and chairs, its the way I painted a cast iron vessel that became a flower pot and it’s the way I painted the little red wagon that I”m using for flowers…ya just – hang em’ in the tree and spray paint away.  Apparently he will not soon… Read more

  • It probably not kidney cancer that will get me….

    I was sitting “indian” style on the exam table in the ER on my 59th birthday when the doc told me that I have a large tumor on my left kidney and it is most likely malignant…but first we need to get this diverticulitis abscess taken care of.  He and Jenny were in the room with… Read more

  • This is the kind of week I hope for all year…I don’t want to waste it!

    It’s cool in the shade.  The sky is a brilliant blue.  The lawn is dappled with the sun shining thru the leaves of the trees.  The sun warms the skin.  it’s not too hot or too cold.  Humidity is low.  You might need a sweatshirt in the evening.  It’s perfect.  ……and the whole week is… Read more
