Day One Hundred Ninety 2012

Grandson Knox kicks back while Granny checks out Facebook. He’s fascinated by the computer, no matter what is on the screen.

Day Sixty Eight 2012

It's Spring Break for my grandpeeps, Shelby and Elijah. They were hanging out with me today--first time I've seen them in a week (how that happened I have no idea). They managed to find ways to amuse themselves. Good kids.

Day Three Hundred Thirty Three 2011

Grand daughter Shelby was working hard on homework after school this afternoon. She is learning about what a monopoly is in her fifth grade social studies class. She Googled it and found a list of examples of monopolies that she needed. She also found a ton of links for the board game, which she didn’t need. But come to think of it, what better way to learn about a monopoly than to play the game itself. Owning all the railroads and utilities—doesn’t get any better than that.

Day Two Hundred Twenty Five 2011

The Dell computer fairy left us a present today....No, not really. Neil and I decided to take advantage of Tennessee's tax free holiday last weekend and replace our ancient desktop computer with a modern model. Our old one has been on its last leg the past year or so, slowly dying bit by bit (or maybe it's byte by byte). Our computer guy told us the last time he was tweaking it that it didn't have long to live, telling me I might want to put it on my Christmas list. We were going to put it off a while longer, but the tax holiday seemed like a good excuse to go ahead and buy a new one. Looking forward to getting this puppy fired up! (Might be awhile, though, as Neil has the living room torn up, working on the ceiling renovation....)
