Boys to Men

Maybe I understand a thing or two about boys, having one younger brother & older brothers that were...gasp...twins.  Twins that partially raised & trained me in a lot of their "twinnish" ways.  Thank you, Jesus, that Grandma & Grandpa had a crack at them long before I was born.  It's MEN'S ways & maybe even some women's ways that I don't truly understand, never did, & at this late date, probably never will.  But I do have an INKLING.

Talks with Kenny

Ed Shapiro, Deb Shapiro - & Kenny - Oh, to be..."like an oyster that may not like that irritating grain of sand in its shell, yet manages to transform the irritation into a beautiful and precious pearl."

Smart or Picky Eater?

Grandson's dog, Nemo, WON'T eat baloney/balogna, weiners, expensive dog food, canned dog food, pickles, brown/rye bread, dog treats, restaurant gravy, but he CHOWS OUT on cheap dry dog food, IF slewed with leftover bits:  crock pot stew, carrots, potatoes, homemade gravy, ham, bacon, beef, chicken, turkey... errrr...everything else...7th heaven for him:  moose/beef bones/ frozen leftovers.

Shock!

Shock is right!  One of our sons is out gallivanting, so I tried out his new shower gel.  I couldn't breathe properly for awhile, my eyes burned & my eyelashes felt like they were glued together.   Good thing my old trusty shampoo was within reach.   So I'm trying a bit of that Shock on the clothes soaking in the washer, see if it shocks that.

Reality TV

- I wish American Pickers would visit our place.

Ta Da!

Hubby says I wear out his work clothes washing them daily. So now, during work-week, I "freeze-clean" them between glass & main door.
