• Trail Camera From WOSPORT

    Today is a day I am excited about moving. Today I am excited about all the room my craft room will have. I’ll be able to move around easily!! Waking up to that amazing view will be so calming. So, tomorrow I’ll be back to being sad about leaving Alice and my kids. But, today I’m excited. So, what has me excited??  How about being able to set up this new outdoor Trail Camera. I can’t wait to see DEER and MOOSE up CLOSE!!! Maybe a BEAR!! We definitely have Wild Turkeys galore. How fun will it be to share videos of our outdoor guests! This is an easy-to-use, easy-to-set-up camera. The video is mostly of the backyard here in California. I did catch Alice singing on Thanksgiving behind the house where she didn’t think anyone was watching. There is also a clip of my Mom watering her plants on her patio. Then of course Gracie out prowling the yard. Blends in to the background very nicely; no one even realized there was a camera set up in the yard. You’ll see that the trail camera has great night vision! Of course, I never did catch a shot of that dang…

  • Christmas LEGOLAND California Style! With Hilary Duff

    Legoland California with Hilary Duff

    This is the first year in I don’t know how long Alice and I missed the tree lighting at LEGOLAND California.  Poor Alice is so sick, so sick in fact that she decided to share with The Non. Why not right? So we cough and cuddle. LOVIN’ the cuddle time, hating this cough! Here is what we missed at LEGOLAND California on the 27 of November. CARLSBAD, Calif. (Nov. 27, 2017) – Award-winning actress and singer Hilary Duff helped Santa pull the switch to light the world’s largest LEGO® Christmas tree at LEGOLAND® California Resort during the 15th annual tree lighting ceremony in Carlsbad, California. Duff, popularly known as a star on the critically-acclaimed and buzzy TV Land series “Younger,” spent the day enjoying all the attractions at LEGOLAND with her son and family before heading to the giant LEGO® Christmas tree for the evening’s festivities. “We feel so fortunate to be at LEGOLAND California Resort, “ said Duff. “We spent the whole day with family and close friends and this is definitely one of our favorite places. We had the best stay at LEGOLAND Hotel and now Luca wants to know why his room at home can’t look like the pirate bunk bed…

  • What This Grandma Thinks About Colored Poop!

    Grandma and grandson

    Don’t forget my sweet friend Blythe is on the radio Wednesday mornings!! Toginet.com 11:00 Eastern and 8:00 Pacific.  I’m so excited I get to be a part of this weeks show too!!  This week Blythe will have Jesse Fortin on her show. They will be talking about the holidays, looking and feeling your best, choosing the perfect hair stylist and colorist and so much more. So here I was babysitting for my 2½ year old grandson, Alex and I was in my glory. It was time to wind down for the night but Alex wanted to watch a movie. Mom said he seems to settle down before bed by watching something age appropriate on the iPad or TV. A new stage, as reading books before bed was the last one! And hopefully that will come back. I know, TV’s, iPad’s, especially before bed, pros and cons, brain development, etc. etc. However, each family has to do what works best for them. Grandma wanted Alex to lie down in his bed so he would get drowsy and fall asleep while watching the said movie. We went upstairs, my phone in hand, thinking a soothing YouTube video would do the trick. As I’m scrolling…

  • Chop! Chop! Chop!

    Hey! For once I’m not talking about my HAIR when I say CHOP!!!!  I may have learned my lesson there… it’s still really, really, short! This time I’m talking about kitchen stuff!! Yes, I know you’ve often wondered if I even KNOW where the kitchen is…… it’s just that it’s a scary place and I don’t like to go there often!  Then The Husband went to Idaho to get the new house ready to move into and well, I HAD to COOK!!!! (YES! I’m WHINING!!) The Husband took over the cooking when he retired in 2012. I even dedicated the kitchen as his man cave. This is the sign just above our kitchen in California.(I AM HYSTERICAL! Aren’t I!??!) Needless to say, when The Husband is away I want everything and anything that make cooking and especially clean up easier. That’s where Clean cutting Sheets from CleverOne comes in. What a brilliant idea this is! A FLEXIBLE cutting sheet. First, each sheet looks exactly like a wooden cutting board. A very pretty and pristine cutting board I might add. My cutting board is well, it’s very well-loved. It’s used every single day and it shows. There are burn marks, cuts,…
