Thursday Thirteen - Grandma isn't listless anymore

'Tis the season for romance. February 14th approaches and in it's
honor I've stretched the list to 14 and added lots of love.
  1. chance encounter
  2. people saying, "Don't I know you?"
  3. minutes of remembering where
  4. hours of reminiscing in a coffee shop
  5. days of waiting for him to call
  6. days before the first date
  7. hours of flirtation
  8. weeks of putting their best foot forward
  9. months of getting to know and love the real person
  10. roses and a diamond ring
  11. months of planning
  12. hours of celebrating with family and friends
  13. days of honeymooning
  14. months pass and there's a new little person to love

    A few of these reminded me of how glad I am not to be single anymore, many of them though made me smile and remember the sweet innocence and nervousness of dating. Thanks for the memories and Happy TT!

    Many of these bring a little sadness to my heart, since my husband's brain injury, he asks me every day, "who are you".

The Best Beans

On Easter morning, we awoke to overflowing baskets. The Bunny knows us well, so our loot included plenty of jelly beans. Not ordinary jelly beans, but Jelly Belly beans. The Jelly Belly history dates back to 1869 when the Goelitz brothers came to the US and started a candy factory. But it was almost one hundred years before they began to produce jelly beans. Ronald Reagan became a fan while he was Governor of California and they traveled with him to the White House. The blueberry Jelly Belly was created so that Reagan could serve red, white and blue jelly beans at his inaugural parties. Jelly Belly also holds the honor of being the first jelly bean in outer space. These quality jelly beans come in a wide variety of flavors. One category, the Harry Potter inspired BeanBoozled, includes Toothpaste, Dog Food, Rotten Egg and Skunk Spray flavored beans. I'm not that adventurous, but there are plenty of other flavors to choose from. If you haven't guessed by now, Grandma&

Dear Grandma, You are one of the most outstanding people I have ever known. Still, I wondered if you've ever looked back on your life and had any regrets. I hope to learn from your wisdom and experience. Respectfully, Young and Foolish Dear Y and F, You may be less foolish than you think.  Your  letter certainly shows a great deal of insight. Congratulations on being so perceptive. I've given this question all the thought it deserves and you'll find a complete list below: I regret I didn't start this advice column earlier in life. This is so easy. And think of all the folks I could have inspired. That about sums it up.  But if anything else comes to me, I'll be sure to  hide it  let you know. Your humble role model, Grandma is delighted to be a participant in the Thursday Thirteen meme. You should check it out. Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
