I haven’t talked a lot about my grandson, but I’m not shy about saying that I’m a Gramma. My reason for limiting what I tell about him comes down to safety. I don’t want my babbling to create an unsafe situation. I will proudly tell you that he is a handsome young man, with good manners, and empathy for those around him.
It seems that now I’ll have TWO grandchildren to brag on. My step-daughter and her husband joined us for dinner this evening, and shared the news. She’ll be having her baby in late May or early June. Honest, I haven’t nagged about this, but it will be fun to have a baby in the family. *G*
I’ve got to go plan a baby quilt!

Everyone has been talking about numbers lately. It seems contageous.
Out of curiosity, I went to Site Meter to see how many visitors I’ve had, and in four more visits I will hit 3000. Of course, this includes my own visits. When I get to shift from AOL to a dsl line, I will take myself out of the picture, but until then, my ever changing ISP number makes it a pain to edit my visits out.
I’m not sure of my exact start date with Site Meter, but I think we cranked it up about this time in June, so I figure it has been just about three months.
Bogie, I’m sure by now you have rolled over the 5,000 mark. Congrats, hon!

October is coming, and October is synonymous with the Texas State Fair. I was visiting Speedbump and Jamie two years ago in October, and they offered to take me to the Fair. I really should have taken them up on it. It turns out that the Texas State Fair lasts an entire MONTH! Texans have always done things in big ways.
Here in Illinois a fair may last from Tuesday or Wednesday to the following Sunday. I think the State Fair may run ten days or so. But I don’t think we have ever considered letting it run an entire month.
Perhaps the Texas State Fair runs so long because it takes so long to get to Dallas from every corner of the state.
Tex and Jamie….if you go, take pictures of the quilts for me, and wave at BIG TEX!

I’ve just come home from the dentist. One of my teeth needed a crown, and today she made the impressions so the lab could make the crown.
I want to know why dentists ask you questions when they have their fingers in your mouth? Here I am trying to sit still so the “blue goo” can harden, and she asks me, “Are those new socks?” I’m good at charades, but I just grunted at her, and let her decide for herself what the answer was. I know she was trying to divert my attention, but she needs to come up with a better list of questions.
I’m sure that billy and bogie could come up with suggestions!
