Only For Love

I use both browsers for various reasons on both computers, sitting side by side, I double surf the net for info, [...]
Chloe and Her First Thanksgiving
Friday, December 5th, 2008Sometimes it’s hard being a new grandmother when a grandchild is born almost two thousand miles away.

‘Twas the Night Before Elections
Saturday, November 1st, 2008‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To [...]

Cooking in Colorado
Friday, September 26th, 2008In 38 years, since the first time I ever baked anything, I never had a cake fall, until now. In the past few years since my sons have grown and moved out of the house, I’ve reduced my baking figuring they aren’t here to eat it and I don’t need to eat it. The sweet [...]
