After a miserable cold and ugly sinus infection, I had that irrepressible urge that is useless to resist: get a make-over! On Saturday, I got a sassy, shorter haircut and dug out some decent clothes. The next issue: getting out and socializing. I have not had much luck finding a church here, so I visited…
Amy Klobuchar! Yesterday she was subjected to Kavanaugh’s wrath on public television. It was so disgusting and unprofessoinal that Kav even apologized to her after the break. And, we got to see her strength and grace in the process. Thank you Kav! I had never heard of Klobuchar before that moment but I was intrigued by what…
Today I watched the entire Judiciary Committee Hearing with Dr. Blasy Ford and Judge Kavanaugh. Hands down, Judge Kav was belligerent and disrespectful to his questioners. He actually evaded answering several questions (even though they were asked several times by different people) and often seemed distracted and disconnected. I did not see an ounce of humility. His…
Babysitting! 32 degree overnight temps! Fall color! Harvest moon! Fall Season TV premieres! Football. My daily life has been full and exciting. More domestic than usual, but so much fun! First, my grandson Silas. Circumstances lined up perfectly for me to be here and to be available to babysit each week during September. It was…
I have been looking forward to my month of babysitting and now it has begun! Silas’ summer babysitter is back in school and his parents don’t want to put him in daycare until he is one year old (Sept 28). That gives Grammy the opportunity to spend quaility time with the little guy for a…
Tango and I walked by one of our neighbors the other day. After hellos, and how are yous, we discussed the weather. “I sure love this fall weather here,” I spouted. “Fall! This is still summer,” was the reply. Weather is so subjective. After a month in Deming (near 100 degrees some days), the 70…
This post is from nearly a week ago. I had numerous problems with my website and, after spending another morning with technical support, I hope they are solved! Since writing the following, I have arrived in Washington State and settled into a cute and cozy RV park north of Spokane. I have had a series of…
One of the things I thought about this summer while traveling in Alaska was whether I should move my base up north near my grandson and his parents. I would still travel in the winter but not as far away as New Mexico. Sometimes it feels like I am on a different planet from them.…
Each night, I hope for a monsoon breeze by bedtime. That is the most I can hope for – a slight breeze that will seep in through my tiny RV windows and clear out the overheated plastic smell that builds inside all day. Last night a breeze blew in along with some real rain clouds.…
I seemed to have things backward this summer, at least weather-wise! During the cold, wet spring I bundled up in Canada and Alaska. During the dog days of summer, I stripped down as much as I dare, a few miles from the Mexico border. I planned the Alaska trip, but my trip to New Mexico…
