May the Fourth Be With You
Our own little “Star Wars Princess” arrived yesterday evening … safe, sound, and sporting loads of hair! She is our seventh grandchild and the sixth in a line of Second Daughters. The latter began more than a hundred years ago in Germany with my Great-Grandmother Dorothy whose Second Daughter was my Grammy Tina whose Second Daughter was my Mommy Ursula. And now my Second Daughter has had a Second Daughter! 🙂

A Steep Hill to Climb
The pile of links just keeps a-gettin’ higher. I may have to break this into two different posts. That’s okay, DW isn’t around and there’s nothing on my busy social calendar today. Lucky you.

Sinko de Mayonnaise Silliness
The plan is to post some serious stuff after my morning nap. (Did I mention I’m retired and I can do that any time I want to?) But first, a little palate cleanser.
Yesterday was wonderful. Nice breakfast with my family, and Big Sis’ varsity softball team won both ends of a double header. Unfortunately, my grandson RJ hasn’t learned yet he could never get the best of his mom on his best day. But he keeps trying.
Ah, the innocence of youth. Continue reading

The Greatest Gift of All
This is shaping up to be a good day. My usual breakfast with my uncles and cousins this morning, then this afternoon RJ’s Big Sis has a softball game at the high school. I haven’t seen them since RJ’s basketball season ended in March. The whole family will be there and I’ve really missed them. It’s hard when they all have activities that take them in all directions every day. That’s one of the problems with being retired. You get lonely when everyone else is busy. She plays on the varsity squad, but with a lot of seniors and she a junior she doesn’t always get to play. I could care less, as long as I can be with them. We plan to go to a neat little pizzeria in their town after the game. The food is good, the company is even better. Continue reading

School Daze
This is later than I’ve ever posted but there are some serious things I’m going to be getting to in the next few days.
Every time I see the way our educational system has left the path of practical knowledge and raced headlong into a full blown indoctrination system for little socialists.
Great plan, guys! Illinois Dems vote to replace armed security at schools with mental health workers
The Illinois House of Representatives has come up with a brilliant plan to secure the safety of children in the state’s school system.
The plan is brilliant for Democrats, of course, who lead the state governing body as it calls for replacing armed police officers in schools with mental health professionals – who are unarmed, according to an Associated Press report.

Crawling out from under AGAIN
3rd time since April began. LOTS of hubby-in-the-hospital stress and my-body-being-my-body stress, then WHAM, I got Dearest’s cold, which was way worse for me than him, I’m guessing because I was just so run down already.
Anyway, his is just a cold that’s still hanging on a bit, but he only spent 1 day in bed. I’ve got full blown croup that kept me flat on my back for 6 days in a row and mostly on the couch for the past 3 days. I’m still barking like a seal and get tired quickly, but walked the dog twice so maybe I’m really on the mend.
My email boxes are so jammed and I’m behind with everything. ::sigh:: I have (mostly) got the dishes caught up, got caught up with Netflix and online library account, and made an appearance at the Facebook board where I’m an Administrator. I still need to stick my nose into my 2 other groups so they know I am alive then … cringe … face down my 250 emails.
I really REALLY hope May is better but it’s not looking too good on the calendar. Building season is in full swing, so Dearest is really busy with work. He goes for his 2d eye lens replacement tomorrow, then the follow-up the next day. It’s 2 hours away, so those are both all day events. Then, he has to take me to my doctor’s appointment on Friday, shortly after which he is leaving with this year’s batch of Rotary exchange kids for a tour of Boston over the week-end. The following weekend, he is boss of the Republican’s chicken BBQ fund raiser, a massive undertaking he does once or twice a year. Then the week after that, he goes back into the hospital for his second heart ablation procedure.
If his docs clear him for air travel, he’s going to the baptism of our seventh grandchild the first weekend in June. She’s due to make her grand entrance any minute now. We are SO excited!
His nephew is also graduating from high school this month. His family is super close, so normally we wouldn’t dream of missing a milestone event, but we’re both feeling frazzled just LOOKING at his calendar and think he needs to beg off. He’ll see them during the Boston trip anyway. Oh wait. I’m in charge of the gift and card. I need to get cracking!
Thankfully, he’s got a nice date night planned for my upcoming birthday. I’m going to absolutely insist he unplug all the phones so we can have at least one evening just for us.
