posting this photo. Isn't it hilarious? I'm giggling like an idiot.
Edit since the pic and text don't match up any more: I'm talking about the pig.

Sunday, March 15
How the hell did it get to be mid March already? Whoa. One day closer to summer.
The day was absolutely beyooootiful. I took my mommy shopping which involved plenty of driving in the lovely day. I bought really interesting things: a new mop (Carmen, please note lol), a mesh thingy for the bathtub drain, some screwdriver bits. Now I can screw all I want - with my power screwdriver - get your mind out of the gutter people. :) Oh and some sandpaper.
Don't I live the divine life?
I just remember what my late friend Judy used to say - every day I wake up on this side of the dirt is a good day. She was a great lady.
At this moment, I am supposed to be sorting through paper and filing. So off I go.
Please note the pics of my children - you get extra with Eric and Tracy since Eli is always in their pics. :)
Carry on.

Another Saturday
I don't know how Saturdays can go by so fast. It was a beautiful day here in the Zoo, but I didn't go out - was in cleaning and doing laundry all day.
Word games are the bane of my existence :). Every break I took was for Scrabble or Word Challenge or Word Twist. I can't help myself. I'm addicted! HELP. :))
So now I'm tired, but don't want to go to bed - just like a kid.
Have NOT watched the news today because I can't stand it sometimes. Therefore, there is no commentary on the state of the world. Did I hear some sighs of relief? For shame!
A productive day, but not too exciting.

Saturday to and from Detroit
Amy, Karen and I went to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Detroit Art Institute. Rockwell painted for the Saturday Evening Post from 1916 to 1950! We saw original canvases and many reproductions. I was thinking before we went that I wasn't too much of a Rockwell fan but the man was absolutely brilliant. Just goes to show you can't know an artist for his magazine covers. :) The canvases are, of course, much better than the reproductions. He was gifted indeed.
It was a rainy, rainy, dreary day and Detroit is sadly falling apart. It's sad to see.
I'm glad I wasn't driving in the alternating drizzle and pouring rain and I think Karen only almost got us killed once. Not bad for a day's work. lol
We did go to Mexican Town and had a fabulous lunch and to the Mexican bakery where they sell tamales too. We bought tamales and no sweets. Mmm mmm.
And, finally, if ever you're in a car with Amy and she says turn left - BEWARE!

Beautiful children
Ha! I figured out how to add pics. On the right are my lovely grandchildren from oldest to youngest. Grandparenthood is the absolute best!
Names and what the hell
Sofa Tucker LOL
Cigarettes are going up about $1 on Monday. I say again - what the hell? Can nothing else be taxed? I KNOW I could quit smoking, but that's not the point. Smokers are being denied the right to express themselves and the pursuit of nicotine. Really I am so sick of this moral legislation.
So there.

Random stuff
Today was a glorious day in Michigan - over 50 and sunny. There are still little piles of snow everywhere but who cares?
I have to thank my daughter, Carmen, for putting the background on this blog. I seriously don't know how to do anything. Someday I'll learn to post pics, etc.
I think Rush Limbaugh is an unadulterated ass.
I'm so glad we don't hear anything about George W. Bush anymore.
So looking forward to spring - want to see green and flowers. Of course you know what that means. Yard work. And lots of it.
I was listening to Bob & Tom the other day and they were talking about naming furniture which was so hilarious that I had to name some too. Amy (of the famous Amy Experience)and her sister Luci contributed as well.
From Bob & Tom: Fred Achair, Clark Table, I am I bed
From me and Amy and Luci: Fran Dresser, Mirror Sorvino, Gerard Deskardeau,
Sebastian Cabinet, Armoire Assante, Floorence Henderson
Too much fun.
Saturday - off to the Detroit Institute of Art to see a Norman Rockwell exhibit with Amy and Karen. I love the DIA especially the fabulous Diego Rivera mural. It's awesome and a tribute to the auto industry. Detroit has some wonderful things including Mexican town where one can eat yummy stuff. It also has a HUGE outdoor/indoor market which is divine in the spring and summer. I forget what it's called.
And that is all for today.
