Confessions of a Young Grandma
“I must confess” has been the beginning of each of my posts since I began my blog in 2018. Today's confession centers on all the things I have learned since becoming a grandma - which, incidentally, is very different than being a mother. I am no longer captain of the ship, so to speak, and …
I must confess, I wasn’t sure anyone would notice that it’s been a little over four months since my last post. I was actually considering shutting down my blog. But this week FOUR people on separate occasions asked me if I had stopped blogging. I’ve since reconsidered. So many things have been going on since …
I must confess, I packed a lot of living into my Sunday this past weekend. The hubby and I hosted a brunch for ten friends, we witnessed a football game of epic proportions, and we played the most extraordinary and engaging board game with a pair of our lively grandkids. Life is good. Sunday morning …
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 …
