Who really cares. It contained entirely too much snow. Sweetums was not happy. I was ready to shoot him and put him out of my misery. I haven’t seen my children since Christmas. Every time I make plans, there’s snow. I do not like snow. It is very difficult for me to get around. My son lives in a row house on a narrow side street. There isn’t any room for piling snow. I really need to see him. He has a mortgage now and panics just like his Father. He wants my help with his taxes. I just hope he finds a calm wife before I turn senile. He’s going to need someone. For now, barring any snow, I’m going on Wednesday. The only time that I can remember snow in April was my fifth birthday party. And I am older than dirt, don’t you know.

March. Where Did It Go?
March 31, 2014Girls Day Out
November 10, 2009I went up to Reisterstown this morning. It was time for our semi-annual get together. There were five of us this time. I was looking for Agnes, but she never showed up. The Powers That Be have changed the road and put in a couple of those stupid round about things. I understand the by-pass, but the other is down right ridiculous. Two of the “girls” got completely turned and we were beginning to think they weren’t coming. All in all we had a great time and I didn’t get back to the house until 430. My son came home from work about 5 and we went out to eat. Afterwards, we went shopping for clothes for work. A Mom’s got to do what a Mom’s got to do. I bought him a blender. I don’t have much use for mine, but it’s not a separate unit. Now I am going to try to do some knitting before bed.
I Was Away
August 17, 2009It was only there for three days and I had my laptop. So. Why didn’t I blog? Hmm. Well. I don’t know. Well. No. That’s not it. I could have blogged. Really. I turned my laptop on. I went to my blog and stared at it blankly a few times. And then, I turned it off. I just didn’t feel like it.
Monday, I went to Reisetrstown to see how the house looked and see my son. Sometimes, children ( even adult children) need to hear, “that’s all right. I still love you”. We had some cooking lessons, what to throw out lessons and what to chop down lessons, like the iron bench is completed covered by forsthysia bushes.
The house really looks good. I want to thank my daughter for finding good people to do the job. The pompom tree on the side yard is very overgrown, but it completely hides the idiot’s porch next door. I’m afraid I’m going to have to call the county on him again. The hydrangea on that side don’t look very good. They aren’t getting much sun. I think I’ll have them moved to the front this fall. It’s looking a little bare since I had the big holly tree removed.
I was standing on the front porch when I saw a small pile of tiny black pellets by one of the shutters. I slowly pulled it back and there was the bat. I slowly closed it and got my camera. See? He’s smiling just for me. I think we’ve always had bats in our attic. For a few weeks in the fall and spring, they’d be coming in as I was leaving for work. I liked to watch them trying to get into the tiny slot. I missed the train more than once. Bats are so cool! Whenever we go to the DC zoo, I always go to the bat house.
Is that enough for today? I hope so.
It’s Over
November 28, 2008It Was Doug’s Birthday
October 17, 2008Maybe that’s why it was so hot. I think it got up to 85 today. I’m not used to sweating in October. It is supposed to be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow. Everybody is going to be so sick.
My son was off from work today so he came for a visit and brought two gallons of Weber’s cider. I finally thought of a good birthday present this evening. Doug is so hard to buy for. When I find what I want, I’ll post a picture.
Thawing frozen bananas is gross. Peeling them and mashing them is even worse. If anyone ever saw me making this cake, they would never eat it. I don’t tell what’s in it. They wouldn’t believe me. They just say that it is the best chocolate cake they have ever eaten.
The mail person brought me a package today. Now I have to figure out how much I still need.
I think I want another green.
Good night.
Yeah!
July 17, 2008My son is here for a few days. He passed his last class. He was very happy. And so were we. I am still amazed that he stuck it out and can now graduate. We talked about many things this evening. I made crabcakes. On my way home from the ophthalmologist this morning, I stopped at a stand and got corn on the cob. Yesterday, I made raisin walnut spice cake and Doug bought chocolate ice cream. We had a nice little party. I’ll probably be sick tomorrow, but it was worth it.
