For over a month I have been slowly switching everything to Washington State – auto insurance, voter registration, health insurance, etc. Yesterday I finally had enough “proof of residency” documents to get my Washington driver’s license. Woo hoo. I think that makes me officially a resident, although I still need license plates for the fleet…
So, the FBI “report” is in the hands of our Senate. I wish that this was still about simply nominating and confirming a Supreme Court Judge. What we have now is a symbolic decision that will either affirm the ability of white privilege to ramrod through a person who is not SCOTUS material or affirm…
I love a good national scandal. It is not that I enjoy watching supposedly mature people fighting in public. I do not love the divisions and bitterness that ensues. I lament the degradation of our society. However, I do love the vocabulary that spills forth. I always learn something new. Thanks to Manafort, Trump, and…
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…
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.

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…
