Oh Woe is me...

Last night my bedroom TV.  I knew it was getting long in the tooth, but then so am I.  At work today, I was wondering just how old it was, so I searched this blog and came up with this post when we bought it

dated May 10, 2008.  Helen says that was 10 years ago, but not really.  It will not be 10 years ago until tomorrow.

But that is not the woe is me part.  Since I was on the blog, I decided to log in and make a post.  Google did not like the computer I was logging from and blocked me.  Now the phone I use for security back up on google is the one I gave to Hannah, so I never have it with me away from.  This is the second time Google has done this  in the last month, for the same reason.  Nothing would have it but I change my password, for the second time in a month.  A password that until last month, I had used for 12 years without incident.  Beside, I do not have anything at Google that is worth stealing.  I do not use it for paying anything, and I do not have any google stuff that I pay for, so if someone got my password they would not get anything worthwhile to them.  Now, I have a totally unprintable password that will be easy to remember.

This is the TV I am going to have to replace.

This is the kids bird.  For the summer, we have put the cage on the deck and opened the door.  He has been free for about a week now.  He comes back to feed and drink and then is off in the wild blue yonder again. 

Tonight is Church night.  We are having a graduation party for our 2 seniors.  Maybe the kids will get to play outside instead of listen to a sermon since it is so nice today.  My truck said 91 at 2 pm.

Gass cemetery

Yesterday, I went to Gass and Alpena to look at the graves.  It was work day at Gass.  They were filling in low places in front of our Gaddy/Thomas graves.  At Alpena, George's military foot stone has been placed on his grave.  I was been beginning to wonder if they were going to send it at all.

The kids and Greg went to Silver Money city yesterday.  Both kids had a friend go along.  They all had a great time.

It is finally spring here.  I am so glad.  

I have been trying to get back into walking.  I try to walk at least 30 minutes most days.  Sometimes I just walk to Dan ' s a couple of times.  It does not get dark till after 8 now so that helps with time to work in walking time. Walking time interferes with napping time.

Today is church day.

Gaddy house on Wallis Street

I think this is it.  Maybe 507 Wallis.


I remember for SURE it had a flat roof that was just tarred and kept leaking, having to be patched over and over.  And I remember Maroon Trim.

Here is a view showing the date it was taken.  Says Jun 2014, so it may be gone now, but I am thinking something other than a lawn mower took it down if it is gone.

With a good ground soaking spring rain.

Pieced Together

Grandma snipped, stitched, and pressed little bits of cloth.
Purple flowers, checks and plaids, red and yellow dots.
Mamma sewed our dresses and passed Grandma the scraps.
Together, they pieced together, memories of our past.
These little bits of cloth are what they left for us,
To piece us together with memories in the dust.
