• It's Friday - again

  by Mary Grace September 19, 2008
  Well Toto it's Friday again. Have we had a good week? Writing in the second or third person is strange - surreal but sometimes it's fun.My week has been good. I've been doing water arobics in a heated pool - the Arthritis Foundation has trained instructors. It works; my back injury becomes more tole...

• Golly Gee

  I hate to be a whiner but the TW house of games is a very tough house. Everytime I think I have a good hand - down comes the "silver hammer." Maybe I shouldn't be betting $100.00 per hand. If it was money I'd be on the street corner with a sign. "Need help"Thanks to the goddess I...

  I received a comment from Rae about my last blog. I was thrilled that I wasn't just blogging  into the ether.Rae had never encountered the American slag word "snit." Well I guess now that word will become international. I didn't invent it and as far as I know it isn't copyrighted(I' not su...

• Blond moment

  by Mary Grace August 26, 2008
  I suspect the new hair do is behind my problems.  Yesterday I typed out a heart-wrenching blog - brought tears to my eyes - then I hit the wrong key and it all disappeared. I said to myself - Self? Do you want to type that all over again? Self answered NO!I guess I was in a snit yesterday. Not that ...

  Maybe summer is over.....maybe. At least the temperature isn't in the three digits and we finally got some rain that did more than dirty the windshield. School started this week - my wife is off to the "inspirational" sessions. What a waiste of time.(in my humble opinion). She had one spea...

• getting ready

  by Mary Grace June 19, 2008
  I think I'm spending more time getting ready for vacation. Trying to minimize luggage and miscelaneous items. Have already sent my paints and paper ahead. The clerk asked me the value of my paint box. I had to tell him "priceless." Some of my brushes can't be replaced - I bought that back ...

• June is here

  by Mary Grace June 3, 2008
  Don't ask why I waited until the 3rd of the month to celebrate June but I'm kinda/sorta slow these days. What with 90 degree heat and higher - it does slow you down. The humidity is high and the bugs are vicious.I wish Mere would get her computer fixed. We'll be in Chicago on the 26th and I don't kn...

  Time flies when you're having fun - or so I've been told.Just now time is flying by 'cause we're getting our final plans together for a vacation. We'll be on the "rails" from June 25th to July 20th. When I say rails I'm not kidding. We're taking our trip on AMTRAK - we figured why bother w...
