"Personal blogs I like
It's strange how I've happened upon some of the blogs I now follow. Kim, of "A Day in the Life" found me by doing a blogger search of interests for "The Bucket List." Seems we both had that movie listed as a favorite. She looked through the bloggers, found me, and voila! A friendship was born. I cannot wait to someday visit her in gorgeous Orange (Park), Fla. You should check out her blog sometime to see the awesome place (and home) she lives in. I think it would be like heaven on earth.

One thing I really like about Kim's blog is its down-to-earth homey-ness. It's friend and family-oriented, and she regularly mentions the names of her friends and family members who read her blog. Very neat. I think that draws her readers in ... especially when she mentions their names!"

I can't tell you how tickled I am to see this!!!!!!

Wednesday at Grandpa's

Here I am, sitting at the kitchen table at Arno's house, Grandpa, to some. He's off to bed already but not nearly as early as he usually goes for the night. He's been taking Imodium for his recurring problem and I hope he has a restful sleep and not need to get up to use the potty too often. He's concerned about signing some documents in the morning that an insurance representative is bringing over, even seemed to dream about while dozing in the chair. Every now and again, he'd ask me about it, thinking the TV program was discussing his insurance situation. These papers have something to do with his daughter and not him, but he is certainly anxious to get it resolved. Morning won't come too soon for him, or, the rep can't come too soon!

This time change thing messes with my head, as I couldn't grasp that it's nearly time for the local news to come on already. In my time zone, the news won't come on until 11:00 pm, which is sort of a signal to go to bed. I am going to set my alarm to get me up about 6:30 a.m. or so, in order to avoid having the alarm on the computer go off which announces its time for Arno to take his medicine. It sounds like an air raid siren going off in the kitchen and gives me quite the start, even if I know it's going to blow!

Mom and I went to breakfast with her former co-workers this morning, where I was able to have my favorite potato pancakes. Yummy! I also worked with some of these ladies so it wasn't totally weird to be with them, and one of them is an aunt to my sister-in-law, Mona. Small town, small world. Afterwards, Mom and I went to Office Max to see if I could get copies of the scrapbook pages. She opted to wait in the car, not realizing how long I might be. Once the person in the copy center got me started, I was able to make copies, although not full-sized, of each page, for Justin, and for anyone else who wants one.

After the copy center we went back to her apartment and then just hung out until it was time for me to leave for Arno's. We watched "What Not to Wear" first, however, a new one for me. So many were re-runs for me lately so it was a breath of fresh air to see a "new to me" episode. Harv called to report they were going to the cemetery to walk around a bit so I waited a while before over. On the way out there, I stopped at The Penguin for a couple perch dinners for our supper. Boy, those cheese curds were delicious! Well, I had to have something to tide me over until dinner time, didn't I???
