My beautiful, intelligent children, all of whom make me so proud to be a mom.
My D’Bear. He IS the love of my life. Who knew I would find that so late in life? I am unbearably awed by it!
Trees. I love trees!
Grandchildren! Three grandsons and one (unknown gender) on the way!! [...]

This is so random and pathetic. My brain isn’t working up to capacity but I am blaming the cold medicine.
I got a lousy cold. I just know it’s from some snotty-nosed person touching the same shopping cart as me. I am going to turn into one of those germophobes. I just know it.
According to [...]

I am seeing that wine can sometimes bring out the fucktard in people. I am only praying I am not one of them, but then if I drink enough of the stuff, will I know, or even care?
Cases in point:
Friday night a local wine shop hosted a free wine tasting. They offered some lovely pinot [...]

On Friday I was at D’Bear’s house in Rochester while he was at work. I was doing a little straightening and baking some cookies for the get together with the neighbors later when the doorbell rang. I don’t know which door to go to since there is the front door and then there is [...]

As I sit on the crapper my thoughts go will-nilly sometimes. This morning I got the word “Kudos” stuck in my widdle brain. Then I thought “what the hell IS a kudo, anyway?”

Yes, my baby girl is Mrs. J. now!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The bride was radiantly gorgeous. The groom was handsome.
Yes, I cried.
And I danced.
And I danced some more.
It was a magical night!
As soon as Birdpress gives me permission I will be posting pictures of her gorgeousness.
