I get that Bryland Home catalog and they have a lot of neat stuff in there!
What lucky grandkids to have you for a grandma! PS I've seen those Rhoombas(sp?) commercials and wondered if they really worked..I must get one and put it to work on those dust bunnies under the beds.
You are perceptive Jeri, and you are right. When Eric dies, his mother will be totally lost because part of her identity as "Eric's Mother" will be gone. She's going to have a tough time of it.
I have such great respect for teachers-- they have one of the toughest jobs on earth. Teachers should get hazardous duty pay!
The best thing about having children is one day if you're lucky they'll give you grandkids--that is one special bond!
I agree with gapeach--I too have heard that giving kids multiple immunizations all at once might be why there's so many cases of autism occuring.
Hi teal; enjoyable blog as always.I don't dig up the past, it hurts too much; even cleaning out an old trunk with old letters in it put me in a tailspin. I don't have enough nerve to delve into the past.
Hi teal; glad I read this--I'd have been a ditz and opened it for sure.Thanks
Hi sol; I'm with you on chocolate--I'm a chocoholic, and always keep some in the house. If I buy those big Hershey bars they don't last long so I buy a bag of chocolate chips instead and when that urge hits, I have a spoonful and it kills the craving. Wow! A man who makes his own pie crust! I buy them frozen, and some of them are excellent. But pecan pie is just too too sweet. Cherry and coconut creme though--can't get enough!
Hi sol; Aw gotta love those whiny brats..as long as it's not too often! As for the water thing, I often wondered how the people living in deserts live without their 8 glasses a day--they seem to survive pretty well.
Hi sol; Dr. Phil is a charlatan and how he keeps getting media exposure is a mystery. I wouldn't take advice from him on how to boil an egg, much less respect any thoughts he might have on any other subject.
What a beautiful photo and poem too! I bet those cherry blossoms smell as pretty as they look!
Hi elfie--finally getting that rain y'all didn't get last summer! Sorry you're "under the weather" no pun intended.
I'm happy it was resolved satisfactorily for this family. The Walmart heirs and their corporation are a are a greedy bunch of suckers.
This is no quiz I wanna take..Been married 2 times, divorced both, and they are both now deceased. I call myself a divorced widow! (PS been meaning to tell you I'm crazy about your avatar photo!)
neat stuff in there!
