Hello all, I don't post much, since Miss KT is grown and doing well, but I check in frequently. Miss KT's father passed away in his sleep Friday night. He was only 61. No idea about cause of death as of yet. She lives 800 miles away and is getting the calls from the funeral home etc. because she...

There are two that really resonated with me - The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah and Watch Me Disappear by Janelle Brown. I reviewed them a while ago, but they were so good that I keep recommending them over and over. Recently I reviewed The Invited by Jennifer McMahon. It was pretty good,very...

I read a lot...I mean a lot a lot, because one of my side gigs is reviewing new books. My preferences are many and varied, but the one thing I insist on a book having is a "gotcha" moment, a "hey, wow, I didn't see THAT one coming" moment. I've found several lately that I've really enjoyed, and...

Roses remind me of Nana's garden. She had a beautiful rose garden, and spent lots of time keeping it that way. Lavender remind me of Granny, who always used Yardley soap. Remember the popcorn machine at Woolworth's? I think of my grandparents' store when I smell popcorn made that way. Bread...

We had to have our 18 year old Jack Russell terrier put down yesterday. Hubby is having a really difficult time dealing with the loss. I think I'm doing all right, but maybe I'm not and I'll come unglued later. Buddy was such a good dog, definitely a one-family dog. He protected us and...

I found it very interesting...PL Travers was really something when it came to defending her characters, and she caused Walt Disney all sorts of troubles. It was an interesting balance between her young life and her work at Disney. I ordered her biography Friday night and hoped it would get here...

I'm fighting a cold, napped most of the day, and I asked Hubby to fix dinner. Beanie weenies. Simple enough, right? We've already had a debate over the size of the pan, the thawing of the hot dogs, the can of beans, his desire to add bacon to the mix, how and when to slice the hot dogs and...

It's been up and down with them ever since her hubby had eye problems while in the Navy that were severe enough to get him discharged. He's working part time and looking for a full time job or planning to go back to school, depending on which day you ask them. Miss KT has found and quit several...

I never thought I'd see the day. It was a very nice ceremony, they got the kids through in good time, and Miss KT's best friend flew in from Santa Cruz for the occasion. There have been no cross words or issues at all...guess her hubby is really a good influence on her. It's been a great...

Miss KT graduates from college next weekend, and we're going up, with my mom, to be there. The car needs to be cleaned out, the house needs to be picked up so we don't come home to a mess, there's laundry and packing...the usual pre-trip activities. But what is my hyperfocused, ADD Hubby...

She and her husband eloped to Vegas on Monday. Apparently Vegas was hot (go figure) and they got married outside so she is sunburned but happy. Now begins the process of changing everything over into her new name, taking her off the insurance, etc. He seems like a good guy and I'm happy for them.

Son #2 and K had a baby girl Thursday! There were some complications with the delivery, K had low platelets but the baby (and K now) are fine and went home today. I'd almost forgotten how tiny a newborn can be...Miss KT was almost 10 pounds. They named the baby Charlotte Rose. No word yet on...

We're watching TV and waiting for the New Year, and one of the panther boys found a pipe cleaner and was playing with it. Hubby took the pipe cleaner and attached it to the back of the collar and bent it so it dangled over the panther's head, causing him to go nuts trying to capture the pipe...

Miss KT says her skin has gotten really dry and itches like crazy. She hasn't changed soaps or anything, and can't get into the dermatologist on her next visit home. What can she put on to make her skin stop itching so badly? Thanks in advance!

Both are coming to our little town, both will be the first in the area, and I have no idea what the difference is. We already have 99 cent store and Dollar Tree; are these just more of the same?

Miss KT is home for the weekend, and her toy panther just yakked on the living room rug. I pointed out that, since it was her panther, she needed to clean it up. She looked at me, face full of surprise, and asked, "But why is the cat throwing up?" Like I can interview Thor and find out why...

The Revolution is doing today's show on ADD/ADHD. They're talking about what it feels like to be un-diagnosis'd, and foods that can help you manage your symptoms. Interesting so far.

http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news%2Flocal&id=8557164 This just boggles my mind...

She put in a bunch of apps, and this is the third place that has called her in. If we could get some good thoughts and Warrior Mom magic going for her tomorrow, I'd be grateful! Thanks in advance!
