Confessions of a Young Grandma
I must confess that I absolutely know when autumn arrives in my neck of the woods. On my drive home from my granny nanny duties, I check to see if "the sign" is there, and if it is not I go on my merry way thankful for another day of summer. However, when I see …
I must confess I am a sucker for sweet sounding alliteration (did you catch that?) which is why many of my blog articles are entitled this way. Anyway, it's about time I posted again, but I’ve been preoccupied with a variety of late summer activities which have kept me away from my laptop lately. But today …
I must confess, this summer has been running away from me with too many fun and interesting things to do, and it’s kept me away from blogging, but I could not let the chance pass by to tell you about an extraordinary camping experience we had recently with, like, oh, about hundred other people. Yes, …
I must confess I was not born with a green thumb. Although I aspire to have a one, gardening is not going to appear on my resume anytime soon. When my son and his wife recently moved into their new home, I offered to plant some flowers around their property and achieved mixed results. Friends, …
I must confess, I had a near death experience today. It happened at the car wash. I was getting the plethora of dead insect remains off of my car as I happily rolled on through the scrubbers when everything stopped. WHAT! When I was a kid this was one of my worst nightmares. The last …
I must confess, when I first heard about Swedish death cleaning I was a little startled, but more intrigued. I was viewing a television news program a few weeks ago in which this concept was featured, and I borrowed from the library the book that the news piece was based upon entitled, The Gentle Art …

I must confess that I've been a little less than enthusiastic about blogging lately. Recently several people asked my about my blog, and I thought it was about time to get back into the swing of things. When my daughter in particular asked why I haven't been posting, I thought about it and replied honestly, …
I must confess, I blinked and spring was gone. The weather here in Western New York went from freezing and snow to 92 degrees yesterday, setting a record in these parts. I will not miss this past winter. Ever. Nope. Not even gonna look back and complain all over again about how miserable it was. …
I must confess, I've been fighting the fact that I am getting old. There have been some definite signs that I am no longer the young person I thought I was. Some things are happening to me that I remember thinking as a young person, "I hope I'm not like that when I'm old." I …
I must confess that I enjoy crossing off items on a list. Attacking each day with my 'to-do' list in hand and having the sweet satisfaction of putting a line through these jobs as I they are done is pure joy. Determining my plan is for each day at its start helps me to stay …
via Daily Prompt: Fret I must confess, when I saw the Daily Prompt today I was shaking my head and saying, "Yes! Today is a day to fret." In a recent post I was excited to tell you about some upcoming renovations we were doing to our home, and today was carpet installation day. Only …
I must confess I'm not a very good idle person. And yet here I am confined to the couch for yet another day feeling like a fat cat, but needing to lay still with a few stitches in my left foot (see yesterday's post for more info). I am itching to get up and get …
I must confess, it's been taking extra effort these days to look on the sunny side of things. With the cold and continued snowy weather being the main culprit that's been bringing down the mood around here, I woke up today and made a conscious decision to look on the brighter side of things and …
I must confess that Easter is my favorite holiday, and one of the reasons is because it usually means warmer weather is on the way here in Western New York. Yet, this is the scene outside my dining room window as I write... When will this cold snap end? Where is the forsythia in bloom? …
I must confess, when Lent is over and I am finally able to stop giving up the stuff that I promised to sacrifice back in February, I feel a little guilty about it. I mean for all those weeks I had been trying so hard to be successful with my sacrifices that returning to my …
