“These aren’t shorts. They’re UNDERWEAR.”

Yesterday morning, I drove almost to Boston with Audrey to keep her company on her way to an interview on Fox 25 Morning News. When I arrived at Audrey’s home at 6:15 am, I was surprised that her two littlest guys, Ben (4) and Henry (3), were wide awake… but I was absolutely delighted that [...]

Every Flippin’ Red Light

This morning, Audrey asked me if I could take William and Alex to pre-school while she took Benjamin to an appointment. “Of course,” was pretty much my answer.  So off I headed to Audrey’s at around 8:15, knowing that I should leave her home at around 8:45 in order to get them to pre-school for [...]

Viag-ara Falls

Last night, I was at Audrey’s home. Her 3 youngest guys were sound asleep, but William (4) was wide awake and asking to come sit with us and watch “a little tv,” as he put it. Well, television at night means interesting commercials; not the bells and whistles songs and dances daytime kids’ advertisements. Wait… [...]

“Are you washing away your lines?”

I spent a few days with Audrey while her husband was out of town. All I can say is… thank God I have thick skin. Or, at least, “pretty lines.” I’m thinking that I must get William (just turned 4) and Alexander (just turned 3) together for a little tutorial in what NOT to say [...]

“You love me, you really, really love me!”

Dawg and Libragirl both gave me this nifty award.  I love them both so very much (even without the award!).  And today… even more special… it’s Libragirl’s birthday. Head on over and give her a BIG birthday shout-out! Now it’s my turn to award 7 bloggers whose blogs I, well… love. There are so many [...]

4 hours of what?

My dear, wonderful, fabulously funny friend, Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry, posed an interesting query yesterday… if you had 4 hours of pretty much everything else in your world completely done (you know, like laundry), what would you do with this time? (OK. I know this is as preposterous as, what would you [...]

Slow down, you move too fast

Yesterday afternoon, I hit the grocery store for a few items. And I mean, just a few because I was in a hurry. I was rather sailing down the the bread aisle when I almost took out an older gentleman who was reaching for a loaf of rye bread. How did I know it was [...]

What is your favorite candy treat?

While over at C’s blog this morning, I got the most unexpected memory of a delightful animal friend long forgotten. No.  It’s not a childhood pet.  I could never forget my wonderful childhood companion, my dog Chippy. It was a Black Cow. And this memory got me all salivating to find another Black Cow.  Not [...]

You forgot something…

For me, I have one good way of remembering things. I make lists in my head. These lists can be short, medium or long… usually depending upon the time frame I have to complete the list. Yesterday, I had a kind-of short list, but a list of things that I had to gather up very [...]

Ah… my Janie

My Janie is the best. She really is. You know there’s a “but” in here somewhere, right? Well, yes, there is… My Janie is the best. She really is. BUT sometimes she is absent-minded. Like today. Janie had an early appointment today that she wasn’t sure how long it would last, so she asked me [...]
