Grandma in wonderland
Many have sung the praises of being a grandma. It took me a bit, but I finally understand why.
Small Talk
Deck the halls — and floor
There is a mighty storm across the school library of assorted bits from a student-created Winter Wonderland.

I can manage new technology. I’m just not convinced I should have to.
Mosquito magnet once again
Oh, goodie. More insect issues. There are two new breeds of mosquito in town and they have a nasty disposition.

Our house has hit that age when everything, and I do mean everything, needs refurbishing and replacing.
The slipper-y slope
Perhaps it is my task to provide friends and strangers with a good laugh.
