About Me
"Mom, you're on crack," my kids' favorite response to my valuable comments." I like to think of myself as the grandma humorist of the 21st Century. At best, I'm Erma Bombeck on crack.
I've been telling people what to do for years. And for the same number of years, they've been ignoring me. What better way to continue the tradition than to start blogging!
I hope you enjoy my funny... working its way up to hilarious... blog.
Please leave COMMENTS. I love to know you enjoy the posts. Some days your comments make my whole day. I'm of the age when that might be as good as it gets!

The dare devil in me
As I prepared for my trip to Costa Rica, I thought about my dad and how much fun he would have had. He loved to have fun and take risks. In his lifetime, a life that began as a very … Continue reading
Jack Benny and the GAP
What does Jack Benny have in common with me? We’ve both been 39 for a very long time. Only now the plot has sickened… The GAP turned 39 today! How can that be? My mom, suffering with Alzheimer’s said it … Continue reading
Sands of our lives
Two gaily wrapped gifts in front of two unsuspecting ladies. Three pieces of cheesecake sitting in front of three friends who will never burn off in a single week all the calories consumed in fifteen minutes. Oh, Travis the Destroyer … Continue reading
Nothing he can’t do
Years ago my relationship with Hot Wheelz was strained, at best. I was painting the downstairs bathroom and installing a new mirror over the wash basin. As he walked by me, Hot Wheelz asked, “Is there anything you can’t do?” … Continue reading
Grandma’s discoveries
