Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

  • This HAS to be one of the cutest pet pictures EVER!  Bennie curls up around Marly every night during prime time.  Mainly he curls up in that little space between his front legs and his chin…seriously…they are so close to the same color that unless you notice Marly has a strange new lump, you don’t… Read more

  • It’s a boy…I’m going to have a grandson.  While I’ve always thought we should have tried for one more child so he could possible have a boy, I knew that in reality, I couldn’t afford another girl!  Then I always really thought that the natural conception selection…say that three times fast…knew that my body probably… Read more

  • Anti social media people….

    This is one of those mornings that I have so much to say and so little time…little time because once I get on one of my rants, I frequently can’t remember what else I was going to say… Social media and instant messaging.  I’ve heard the whining, moaning and indignant anger from folks who don’t… Read more

  • It’s Day 2.  We have a new seated sheriff…I’ve already driven myself crazy trying to think of someones name from 20 years ago even though Jenny has told me to just let it go…My cup of Tassimo coffee tastes like dirt..what’s up with that?  Today is Kim Balmer’s birthday…she will be entertained all day by… Read more

  • When is it okay to:

    We are trying to get rid of stuff in the basement…I have lost track of the times we have sorted, moved, stacked and tossed things in our basement which belongs(ed) to ‘him’, me, my folks, his folks, my grandparents, his grandparents, my Aunt Frances and our girls.  I was down there a few minutes ago,… Read more

  • Put ‘er in 4 wheel drive

    Yes…it snowed and it “blowed” and it is still blowing.  If you read yesterday’s blog…just wanted to followup and tell you there were no surprises! Our 4-wheel drive pickups have always had the manual shifter on the floor between the seats for switching into 4 wheel drive.  I’ve always had an, “ahem” warm feeling when… Read more

  • This will be my 28th winter as a 911 dispatcher.  This job kills the joy of winter!  For you non-Iowans, we have a forecast blizzard warning for the state tonight and tomorrow…a lot of  folks are posting about how excited they are for the snow/blizzard so they can sit home and drink hot chocolate…meanwhile I’m… Read more

  • I hope this isn’t just old age sentimentality…or maybe I do because then I would have a reason for this mood I’m in…part of me feels like I’m back home with myself and the other part of me wishes I could just quit tearing up about songs and the thoughts about friends.  I spent last… Read more

  • HOW DO WE GET FREE?

    There are a few things I did as a child that I wish I hadn’t done…and there are a few things in my past that I think..WHAT WAS I THINKIN’ and perhaps wish I hadn’t done…although all of those things shaped me into the person I am today.  At least I can look back on… Read more

  • Today I’m thankful for Google.  Oops…I guess Thanksgiving is over and I’m a little late with my thankfulness listings.  I kind of like the thankfulness daily posts on Facebook before Thanksgiving because if I’m peaceful, I read thru them and usually get a hit  for something I’m thankful for.  This whole rule about prepositions at… Read more
