This was the first song my first grandson sung in full – lots of memories of twenty years ago when we lived in Houston, Texas. My husband was a sports nut and we attended many events, even in the nosebleed seats😃. We always arrived early to watch them warm up.

I’m providing comfort as I attempt to share your bed. I cover the mound of your paws with mine. Old enough to be your grandmother, I wish you a lifetime of affection as I have had.


Lately our Earth seems off its orbit
Some days I find it too morbid
Sunshine is harder to find
To keep the positive in mind
Maybe we’re just off kilter
Everything seems to need a filter
Our actions, our speech, our feelings brought out
Everyone ends up feeling put out.

Joe was holding on to his seatbelt for dear life when his driver started swerving in an erratic manner. Something passed by the windshield as the driver exclaimed “I thought leaping lizards was just an expression!”

The petulant smile
Expressing cheek
In jagged jean styles
Also gives a peek into new clothes unrefined
For ripped up jeans you’ll spend more than a dime.

In Wyoming we are all “California Dreaming”. The Mamas and Papas in 1965. Some days I really miss the 60s.

Putting my feet in the dirt 3-21-18
I had just woken up to the news about losing Stephen Hawking. For some reason it struck me as monumentally sad. I was washing my tears off in the bathroom sink when my grandson texted me. We seem to have a weird wavelength. He asked what I was doing and I answered my usual nothing. He said I’m coming over in ten.
Of course it was almost lunchtime but I was not in a fixing food mood. He came in and raided the freezer, which has slim to none pickings at the moment, and brought out some fish fillets. So fiddlesticks it was. Waiting for the oven to heat, we listened to a new percussion piece he’s doing for the orchestra. He plays all of the instruments, but loves the drums best.
Twelve thirty and he’s off to be a TA in another class. I have to admit I will miss him when he graduates in a couple of months, especially these surprise visits that always end with hugs and I love yous. Parents and grandparents have bittersweet times when children grow so fast. I’ve often said to frazzled parents of toddlers, time passes so fast, try to enjoy each moment.

She stepped from the limo, an impavid woman, wearing those shoulder pads with heavy stuffing in a vestige of 1980’s glamour. The crowd at the Maralago resort chimed in with their regular chattering greetings without a sprout of condemnation. After all she had been the FLOTUS.
