This Word program tries too hard to be helpful. If I type the month, in this case April, it immediately fills in a date. Once in a while, it’s actually the right date, but tonight it was stuck on the 29th. Oh well.

Helping my son proofread his blog this afternoon reminded me that I haven’t posted to… click here to continue

Another Sunny Saturday

This is the second lovely spring day in April. The first was two weeks ago today and we had begun to think that would be our whole spring this year because it had been cold and/or rainy ever since, until today. Now I hope we can look forward to improving weather from now on into summer. We’ll see.

No Snow Here

We have no snow here, yet, but the threat is not over until Noon tomorrow according to the weather forecasters. But it is cold—very cold for this late in the year. My sisters in Seattle have about three inches of snow on the ground, and my third sister, in Southern California, reports it turned cold there this morning. Brrr!… click here to continue

Tidbits

Today I picked up my new glasses—the interim pair to be worn until my second cataract is removed. I put them on and exclaimed, “Wow.” The young man at the dispensing office responded, “I bet it is Wow from your side of the glass.” There was such a difference between the old pair (before cataract surgery) and the new, that… click here to continue
