I’m not Irish, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are Irish either. I’ve heard about green beer and parades on St Patrick’s Day. We don’t do either of those things. Mom did, however, put a corned beef in the crockpot. It cooked all day, giving our house an odd smell. Later she added potatoes and onions. When it was close to dinner time, she … Continue reading Part 62 – St Patrick’s Day
Mabel Schmidel (from Book #2 Red Hard Hat in Construction and Mystery #1 Saving Mr. Johnson) has been interviewed by Lizzy Steven’s. You can read the interview at her blog. Continue reading Mabel Schmidel Interview
I can now say that I don’t like Covid. Mom said I can’t catch it from her, but Dad sure did. By Thursday night, Mom was coughing and said she felt rotten. Before bed, Dad also felt bad. By Friday morning Mom had them both take a Covid test. She said it was positive. She called the doctor’s office. He called her back to confirm … Continue reading Part 61 – Positive Covid
Mom worked at the election on Tuesday. She left the house at 6 AM and didn’t get home until 9:30 PM. That meant Dad was the only one who could add food to our bowl and take the time to pick me up. He does okay with that, but Mom is better. I tried to tell her to take me along before left, but she … Continue reading Part 60 – Covid
We have a pineapple plant that comes in for the winter and then goes back outside when the weather gets warmer. It is a rather big plant that takes up way too much space on the table that sits in the family room. I’m not impressed with it, but my sister Sophia loves it. Well at least I think I can say she loves it, … Continue reading Part 59 – Pineapple
Mom will sometime show me silly pictures that appear on her social media account. I don’t really understand “social media.” She told me that my blog posts appear on her website, but also on her author Facebook account. She says that means more people get to share in my story. I can live with that. Today I’m happy to share one of those pictures. My … Continue reading Part 58 – Wanted to Share
On Friday, Mom announced that she has finally finished writing Book # 6. I don’t know what the big deal is. She has had five other published. There are boxes of unsold books in the guest room. I do understand that this means, for a while at least, she will no longer be talking to her computer. I know she uses a headset that she … Continue reading Part 57 – Celebrating
If you are following in order, you know that in my last post I talked about the colors of the flowers outside my windows. One of my readers asked Mom about that. There had been an old TV show about a color blind lion – Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion. I asked Mom to research this because I can see things in color. Per her … Continue reading Part 56 – Colors
The sun is shining this morning. I like that. It looks so pretty outside. The flowers aren’t blooming yet, but I know they will be soon. I like to see them outside the guest room window. I don’t ever get to visit them (unless I can slip out the door) but they are still pretty in yellows and blues. I can see others out the … Continue reading Part 55 – Cold Feet
Mom did it again; she forgot all about my blog post because she was wrapped up in writing another chapter for her new book. I tried to remind her. More than once I sat on her desk in front of her keyboard. I knew just what I wanted to say, but she didn’t take the time to write it down. Today she said she was … Continue reading Part 54 – A Small World
