Cats shred and dogs predict

I do not have a cat who shreds my toilet paper, as  TouchedByMadness  does. What I have is my mother’s 6.2 lb Chihuahua who is, at this very minute, attempting to dig a hole through the rug. She has been freaky all day. Earthquake freaky.
Okay, if you do not know what that means, you have [...]

EMT awaits FedEx

When EMT gets off the bus, the first words out of his mouth, every day this week, have been, “Did FedEx come today?” In fact, he has called me to ask this very same question several times. The reason??? EMT’s friend (a girl) and he are to dress up like Pirates for Halloween. Her mother [...]

It is Halloween all week

 
Halloween used to be one night but it seems to last a full week now. This past weekend, JRockGuitarMan helped the fire department with their haunted forest.

A Halloween Meme

 

This is from That’s What She Blogged . I am adjusting it a bit because I have no answers for a couple of the questions. Feel free to re-post, that is the point of a Meme, isn’t it?
1. What is the worst treat to get when trick-or-treating?
Personally, do not give me gum

Who are all these people??

I have joined Classmates.com and in doing so, rather than finding out that no one remembers me, I am finding out that I don’t remember hardly anyone else.  I see a name and think it is familiar, but I have no positive recollection of who that person is.  Is that the little snippy girl or [...]

October

Okay, I am a bit slow.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I just came across a blog that was pink for October.  This is an issue near to my heart and family.
Long ago, they called the doctor out to the house when my maternal grandfather had a heart attack.  As long as he [...]

The difference between boys and girls

I gave birth to two daughters.  I watched them grow and marry and have children and I am here to tell you.  Raising girls is WAYYYY different then raising boys. 
 
I did not give birth to these boys but they lived with me for nine, six and three years before their mother’s second marriage.  Then, [...]
