    What Would You Bring...

    If there is something special you make at Christmas time, maybe make that and package it up really nice. Do you make peppermint bark, fudge, or chocolate covered nuts?? They would make a nice after dinner addition. Else a plate of fancy cookies you make that could be put out or save for the...

    You are a very wise woman C.Ann--you have made many good decisions over the last few days--letting your brother have control will be the best in the long run. When our step mother passed, my sister had all the answers, and wanted everything her way, I had one request, I wanted my friend to...

    New take on "rude cell phone users"

    The other day I was sitting on the couch, with a blanket over me, watching tv, when I heard the door bell ring, then a quick pound, pound on the door. I was getting up to answer it, when it rang again, and quickly followed by pound, pound, pound. Give me a minute, I don't want to trip over...

    Need advice about mini vacation (Mackinaw City)

    You really should reconsider the island, if you possibly have time. It is like nothing you have probably ever done. The boats run often, usually every hour or 1/2 hour, so there are many times to get there. The carriage tour is a must too, for a first timer. You learn a lot of history...

    Going to Grand Haven for Coast Guard Week....

    Be prepared for a very busy time--it is fun to watch the coast guard boats come in--usually on Monday at noon. Many places to eat--Fricano's pizza is the best--get there early, they open at 5 or plan to stand in line. Kirby grill is good, either the restaurant or the pizza upstairs. Also...

    Easter Dessert!

    Cream Puffs with home made cream. Ham Mashed Potatoes/gravy Asparagus Swiss Medley Vegetables Salad (hope my DIL offers to make it) Corn Rolls. That should be enough for 7 people. Will probably make some deviled eggs and fruit because we eat early and need some supper food too.

    Fisher Price Loving family dollhouse ?

    I bought this for my oldest granddaughter who is now 12. Three granddaughters later, the youngest now being 6, and they still play with it (the 9 and 6 year olds). It was a very good investment. We added things as new items came along, and it was such fun for them. I never regreeted spending...
