On the First Day of Mischief, my toddler gave to me:

For those who know me, I'm PURE COUNTRY when it comes to music. I find I lot of wisdom in country music songs. Recently, one that has remained in my mind is "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney. The song tells about a a young man watching a 102 year old man being … (11 comments)

The year we are blessed to have a new baby in the family and he is visiting us for Thanksgiving!
You may (or may not) have seen her--I posted on demand a mini Ode to Ollie, when asked to do a Meme, but this one has special meaning, because, as my nifty calendar reminded me just now--my grandma Ollie celebrates her 98th Day of life tomorrow, Thanksgiving day.
