January 31, 2012 November, 2004, and it was time for a visit from DD and merm. The couple had become engaged to be married earlier in the fall. Near the apartment, there was a nice park and that’s where merm proposed. He presented the lucky young lady with a “diamond” the size of a doorknob. She would get the official version later....

January 28, 2012 By Sunday, it was obvious I was going to have to break down and go to town. I’d put it off as long as I could but things were getting critical. I was down to my last oranges but I’d gone online to look at the specials and there was one store that had eight lub bags for $4.99. I couldn’t pass that up. I called to make sure they were in stock and they were. I got ready and went. ... Read more

January 26, 2012 This isn’t something from MY harvest but it is from someone’s garden/farm. I’d bought a bunch of parsley and when I remembered it, it was languishing in the refrigerator. I don’t like to throw out food so I decided I’d see what I could do.... Read more

January 24, 2012 October 2004 was predictable. First, there would be my granddaughter’s third birthday, then Halloween at the hospital and after that, homecoming at the university. All three were traditions by now and there was no question I would be participating.... Read more

January 21, 2012 That’s what one of my sisters emailed she hoped I was up to doing. Not quite. Even now, I’m not there yet. Better but not altogether well.... Read more

January 14, 2012 This has been a week of downs, farther downs, almost hitting bottom and gradually beginning to come back up. The last time I remember being this sick was back in the ’70s around the time of my birthday. Actually, I was a bit sicker then but not much. DH drafted a friend of ours to come help fix my birthday dinner, complete with a “mix” cake. I was so out of it, I couldn’t eat any of it and barely roused up enough to see the cake with the candles when DH brought it to my sickbed. I remember his telling the boys when I was hitching along to get to the bathroom that this was what really sick looked like.... Read more

January 7, 2012 2012. That sounds strange. 2011 sounded strange and 2013 is even more strange. It will get here whether I see it or not unless the Lord comes first and that’s entirely possible. Besides being the New Year, it was also DS2′s birthday. He didn’t even know how old he was going to be until I told him while I was at their house. 45. Now, that’s REALLY weird, having a son that age that isn’t even the oldest. The oldest one is fast closing in on 50—well, it’s still over two years away but two years isn’t much in the grand scheme of things.... Read more

January 3, 2012 Sure, I was being careful. Instead of two big helpings of my favorite foods, I had two smaller ones—or one big one. I tried to cut back on fried but that proved to be extremely difficult. I did love my fried potatoes and onions. And fried pies. And fried egg sandwiches when I fell off the vegan wagon. We were past the season for fried green tomatoes and fried okra (after all, it was late fall of 2004) so they were no temptation. ... Read more

December 31, 2011 When 2011 began, who knew it would end up the way it has? There are always twists and turns to anyone’s life but mine took major ones. Rather than rehash the past week’s happenings (that have been momentous, yeah right) I decided I would recap the past year. It isn’t often a year ends on the night that I update my personal life on my blog. As a matter of fact, the last time it happened was 2005 and I’d been blogging for a whole six months. I was updating the happenings of my personal life daily at that time. I didn’t go on a weekly schedule for a long time after that.... Read more

December 27, 2011 I didn’t make it for my granddaughter’s birthday in July 2004. We all lived and mostly did well in spite of my absence. Mother’s birthday came around again on August 17. This was a landmark one, for sure. 100 years old! She had always sworn us to secrecy but I’d told her about seeing an acquaintance and that set her off.... Read more
