Happy Birthday to my sweet baby boy . . . who just happens to be 29 years old today

Joey is still my sweet baby boy, despite the fact that he’s now twenty-nine years old, he’s a successful business man, he’s been married for five years, and he no longer needs to be mothered.
I wrote about him last year in this post, and I wrote about him two years ago, too.  I won’t repeat all […]

New House - next step . . . window blinds

We’re down to the last couple weeks before moving in!  Now I’m ready to start looking for blinds.  In my previous few houses I ordered blinds from justblinds.com.  They worked out really well.  I’m checking other online sources, though, to see if I can find a better deal.

A Letter to my 1995 Self

I started this post several months ago but never got around to finishing it until now.
Sophisticated Writer had a post entitled A Letter to 1995 Me.  The idea of writing about the wisdom gained from life experience appealed to me.  If I could go back and give my 1995 self some advice, what would it be?  Hindsight […]

Snickers-licious Cake

Our church recently had our annual Fall Festival. Part of the Fall Festival is an auction. Each year one of the ladies of the church bakes a homemade blackberry cobbler that has become almost legendary in our community. At the auction it goes for $500 or more. Last year I contributed a German chocolate cake […]

A conversation between Sweet Stuff and PawPaw

Sweet Stuff and PawPaw are walking around outside the new house.  PawPaw belches.  Sweet Stuff looks up at him - shocked.
“Say ‘excuse me,’ PawPaw,” she chides.
“Excuse me,” replies PawPaw.
“Thank you.”
They continue their walk.

Online again - and giddy with delight

I finally went to Target, bought a $5.99 telephone cord, came home, unhooked the useless DSL crap, used the telephone cord to join the computer to the phone outlet, logged onto AOL - had to change my free bring-your-own DSL connection plan to a $9.95 per month dial-up plan  . . .  and VOILA! I […]

Thursday Thirteen - my 69th edition

In looking through my archives, I see that I haven’t done a Thursday Thirteen post in over two months.  Of course, I’ve been without internet access at home for just about that length of time.  So it’s no wonder I haven’t been posting much.  The new internet is set up at the new house, and […]

Blogging via email - does it work? And finishing up the new house

I really want to learn how to blog via email.  I THOUGHT I had all the settings right, but I’ve sent email a couple times - and so far neither have been posted.   Our home computer issues are such that it looks like we will probably just wait until we move into our new house […]

High School Musical on ice

Tomorrow we will take Sweet Stuff and Sunshine to see High School Musical on ice. I don’t know how the show will be, but I know I’ll enjoy the company.
This is another Treo created post (later corrected via computer)  LOL!

The toilets are in and working!

Three of the five toilets in the new house were installed today - and they’re working too. Yea!  No more having to drive to the “old” house or make use of the surrounding woods when I’m working at the new house and nature comes calling. 
I started this post on my Treo - and I just edited and […]

In Memory of First Officer Thomas McGuinness

Reposted from last year’s 2996 tribute.
I have the honor of paying tribute to Tom McGuinness who was First Officer on American Airlines Flight 11 - scheduled to fly from Boston to Los Angeles. Soon after take-off, the hijackers commandeered the plane and flew Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. […]

Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese

My daughter gave me a recipe for crock pot mac & cheese.  This morning my mother made it for the family reunion we’re having later today.  I just came from the kitchen where I sampled it.  You know it’s important for cooks to sample food to make sure it’s good.  So I was only taking […]

Happy Belated Birthday to TMS

My birthday was last Sunday - August 26th.  I was in a rotten mood on my birthday.  That afternoon I went to my school to do a little work, and I wrote a birthday post from my school computer.  However, since the post reflected my rotten mood, I deleted it.  So now I’m 58 years […]

Visiting my mother (who just happens to have internet access)

Ahhh - the joys of actually reading blogs from a computer instead of a Treo.  No reading glasses needed to decipher tiny print.  No scrolling through three or four screens in order to read a brief email. 
So who has satellite internet?  I’m so disgusted with BellSouth/AT&T - I don’t even want to consider continuing that […]

The Trials and Tribulations of No Internet Access

Ahhh!  I’m writing this from work! However, it is before school, and I will be logged off by the time school starts.
RT didn’t pay his internet bill on time.  So they cut off service.  I think it will take nothing less than a presidential order for it to get back up and running again.  I’ve spent […]
