Friday morning we got up early and she got all dressed up for our day out and about. I gave her this hat, it’s always been slightly small for my head, and it looked great with her outfit! Next we went to a drive-in restaurant that I’ve been wanting to try. She got 2 hot …

Lyra’s Turn
A couple of weeks ago our 11YO grandson Leelan came for a visit. Today we picked up his 6YO sister Lyra for her turn to spend some time with us. We’re excited that a new Costco is going up not too far from Casey’s. It will be a lot closer than “our” current Costco, which …

My Girl Casey
I have the best daughter ever. However, sometimes I have to wonder about her…? Yesterday morning I got a call that Casey’s minivan wouldn’t start. We aren’t very far away (about 35 miles, all expressway) so we went to the Big City to see how we could help. We knew that her husband Bill wanted …

A Tuesday In The Life
Today we went to our daughter’s house, and this little guy first visited me in the car, then moved to a nearby branch. Pete was nearby so I handed him my phone to get a picture. Pete LOVES dragonflies and damselflies! This is a particularly handsome one, don’t you think so? Our 6YO granddaughter thought …

Day In The Life – Aug. 3, 2020
Today was a great day with Leelan! First thing in the morning, Pete took him over to Cops N Donuts in Clare. Next we decided to go to the city to do some thrift store shopping. Traffic was heavy today! First we stopped for lunch. This is a cool diner that we don’t eat at …

Take Your Kids to Church
Take your kids to church. Make the effort. Wake them up early. Fool with the belts and the buckles and the fancy hair bows. Endure the sleepy, grumpy faces and the misplaced shoes. Run around like a mad woman gathering everybody’s everything and trying to get out the door on time. Hop to the car with …

24 Hours In The Life…7/29-7/30/2020
Wednesday, on our way back from Pete’s appointment, we stopped by our daughter’s and picked up our 11YO grandson for a visit. Leelan lived with us for a while when he was very young, and also stayed with us while his mom was working 2 jobs and going to school at night. (I’m so proud …

Maisie Has A Boy To Play With!
A Trip to Grand Rapids!
Pete is an early riser. And I’m not. When he wakes up, sometime before dawn, Maisie is always waiting for him to get out of bed so she can take his place. Every morning when I open my eyes, there she is…and here is how I found her today when I woke up. How could …
