Memories of Halloween

Posted on October 31, 2005 by barbaraehardy

If I were back in Michigan today, I would be helping with the parties in my grandchildren’s school.  And I would be in costume…a witch of course.  Aren’t all teachers witches?  Or at least haven’t you all had a few of … Continue reading →

The warm California sun

Posted on October 30, 2005 by barbaraehardy

Some days make me think of the Beach Boys and their homage to southern California and the surfing lifestyle.  Today is one of them.  It’s mid 70s , and the sun is shining in a cloudless blue sky.  In other words…it’s a … Continue reading →

Zorro?

Posted on October 29, 2005 by barbaraehardy

I love the stories dealing with the legends of Zorro…the first movie was great; the Isabel Allende book is wonderful.  Sadly, the new Zorro movie is not up to the same standards.  Too many shades of Superman, Batman, just about … Continue reading →

Posted on October 28, 2005 by barbaraehardy

This morning, as I gazed at the empty crib (all made up with soft flannel sheets), I tried to picture Lia smiling up at me.  Suddenly I was transported back to other days when I had done this very thing, … Continue reading →

We’re wiling away our time with one of those neat-o mystery jigsaw puzzles.  The grandcats wreaked a little havoc on it during the night, but repairs have been made and we’re making progress.    Other than that, Di is napping … Continue reading →

Posting from LA

Posted on October 25, 2005 by barbaraehardy

Another nice flight, this time on Northwest, so didn’t have to worry about getting lost in Cincinnati.  I know the NW terminals, Minneapolis and Detroit very well.   We were late leaving MN, thus late arriving in LA, but since I … Continue reading →

Yup, I’m really going back

Posted on October 24, 2005 by barbaraehardy

For the sixth time in nine months, I’m traveling to LA.  Wish it were a shorter trip, but how lucky that we have airplanes and don’t need to travel by, say, covered wagon!   How DID those pioneers stand it?   … Continue reading →

Thoughts on a rainy Sunday

Posted on October 23, 2005 by barbaraehardy

At church this morning, I made a point of leaving by the front door so I could mention to our pastor that I would be out of town for a few weeks.  I didn’t want him to think I was … Continue reading →

S-L-O-W-L-Y coloring up in Michigan

Posted on October 22, 2005 by barbaraehardy

Usually by this late in October our leaves have not only changed color, but most of them have dropped.  As you can see from these photos, not much of either has happened this year.   Our experts tell us it’s … Continue reading →

Happy birthday, Christina

Posted on October 21, 2005 by barbaraehardy

Christina, my youngest, will be 28 next Wednesday, October 26.   Since I’ll be back in LA by then, I probably won’t be able to post birthday greetings to her on the actual day……so I’ll just do it now!   Christina … Continue reading →
