Day three proved to be a fairly low key day-exciting nonetheless! The trip to the grocery on day two fell short. The director forgot to include supplies for making pizza on the list so there was another trip to the grocery needed this morning. Which-turned out to be an awesome thing because at the groceryContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Three”

Camp Grandma – Day Two
Whew! What a first day of camp! The camp director’s knees are feeling it! But we move on! Day two-the campers arrived at about 8:45 a.m. all spunky and excited about using sidewalk chalk in a spray can! (Shout out to 5 Below) The plans for the driveway went from Godzilla to much more simpleContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Two”
Poetry Month
Just a quick note. April is poetry month and since I’m a self published poet, what else would I post on my blog in April other than my poetry? Each Thursday I will post a poem and then talk about how I came to write it and what inspired me. If you haven’t subscribed yetContinue reading “Poetry Month”
Camp Grandma-Day One
Camp Grandma got off to a great start! The campers arrived at 8:00 in the morning and we chilled until about 11:00. We looked at the chalk painting supplies for Tuesday and did a little prep by punching out the pieces in several stencils to use with the chalk paint. We also got paint brushesContinue reading “Camp Grandma-Day One”
Mystery Reader
When my grandson was in first grade, his class began having Mystery Readers come in on Friday after lunch and recess. Any family member who wanted to be a reader filled out a basic information sheet and then included 5 hints about themselves as well as the title of the book they would be reading. Continue reading “Mystery Reader”

I had the binoculars we had purchased the day before, my knitting and some cookies. Liam brought us each a package of Teddy Grahams and a packet ofContinue reading “Shared Energy”
Joy and Loneliness
Written in 2021 I have been living on my own since January 31, 2017. On that day I moved out of my marital home and into a one bedroom apartment. I wanted-no-I needed to be alone. I needed quiet. I needed total control of the remote-if/when I used it at all. I needed to prepareContinue reading “Joy and Loneliness”
Sheep, Shepherd, Bucket
In the late 1990’s I was a youth group leader. One Sunday, the sermon was about sheep and shepherds and the different ways the shepherds tended to their flocks. Now days most shepherds go behind the flock and use trained herding dogs to help keep the flock in line and move them to different pastures.Continue reading “Sheep, Shepherd, Bucket”
Kentucky Weekend
I had been seriously triggered at work and realized I was going to have to quit. I had entered into the worst depression I had experienced in over a decade and I realized I needed to take care of myself. I needed to get away, even if I didn’t do anything, I needed a changeContinue reading “Kentucky Weekend”
Be Like Marley
Thursdays are special. Thursdays are my daughter’s day off. This means the grandkids are available. I’ve made it a point since they were born to make sure they know and have a loving relationship with my father, their great grandpa A.K.A. “Pop”. They are his only two great grandchildren. So, every Thursday with very fewContinue reading “Be Like Marley”
