My life, South of the Border!

As you all know, last year I threatened to move to Canada if Palin was elected.  Well, maybe you did not know that, but the cat is out of the bag now.  I even went so far as to find out that it is apparently quite easy to move to Canada. 
If it was just not so darn cold [...]

Teach a child to think and he learns for a lifetime!

Our youngest grandson/son/ward is still struggling in school.  Having only been educated to a 2nd and 3rd grade level by the time he was 13, when he came to live with us, has been near impossible to make up.  Even the two years of nearly private teachers in Jr. High, could not make up his being approximately [...]

Everything I wanted to say but could not have said better!

I really hope Margaret will forgive me for submitting her blog here, but I know that if I put a link to it, half of you will not read it and the half that will not read it, really, really needs too.   And, since Margaret gets like 800 comments per post, I figure she will [...]

Margaret and Helen have a Dream

Yesterday’s blog was supposed to be about Margaret and Helen’s post “We Have A Dream.”  However, it may have been the biggest digression on record. So, I shall try to stay on-track today.
 
 
Their blog is a list of ideas that they think everyone can get behind.  Well, maybe if you throw out the extremes of both parties and [...]

Wanna have some fun?

As you all know (What?  You don’t?  Well, you should.)  I just love Margaret and Helen.  Their “Tell it like it is, with humor.” blog got me through the election.  And, when my life here at home gets a bit tough, like getting a $1,200 power bill or, like yesterday, when I opened the one [...]

“Look out Dad!” The sky really is falling.

My father was born to believe everything anyone ever told him.  Providing they were either Rush Limbaugh or Jack VanImpe.  So, I had to get a big kick out of Margaret and Helen’s latest Blog on good ole’ Rush Limbaugh. 
 
My father also thought the sky was falling.  Actually, he invented that saying, it was [...]

One Big Neighborhood!

I watched a special on Chernoble the other day and the toxic cloud from their melt-down traveled, however lightly, to the U.S.  It crossed the pole .  It hit Finland and Sweeden hard. 
Terrorism is circling the globe and hitting families all over, also.  And, as the latest economic crisis shows, what affects one home can greatly [...]

The Magic Wall

“My T.  My T.” is now “My CNN.  My CNN.”
 
We would lay JRock down for a nap, when he was under two, and immediately he pointed to the television, blurting out, “My T. My T. My T.”  This meant he would only go to sleep if we put CMT on.  I should have known then, [...]

Boohaa, Indiana!

I stayed up way too late last night to see who won.  It was inspiring to hear Obama’s speech and, it impressed me that the Obama crowd did not “boo,” in fact there were some cheers, when McCain was mentioned.  I think the fact that Obama would stop that behavior, while on the campaign trail, [...]

A person just like me? I THINK NOT!

I am not Joe the plumber. I am too poor to be Joe the plumber. I too do NOT have a plumber’s license, which is unfortunate as I do have about three pipes leaking in this house, so if he gets a license and wants to get some practice, send him over.
I have never made [...]
