The Black Hole Strikes Again

My husband, Norm, and I are convinced there is a black hole in our house.  Things randomly disappear and it drives us crazy.  Take this morning for instance.  Norm has a reacher grabber device that he uses to help pick up things off the floor so he doesn’t have to bend over.  He used it [...]

The Mystery Gecko

So I’m getting dressed and into my wheelchair in the morning.  I look up at the ceiling and notice a small gecko crawling around.  I keep tabs on him throughout the morning and then forget all about him until bedtime.  I don’t see him anywhere.  I wonder where he went?  Let’s just hope it wasn’t [...]

Teenagers

Dealing with teenagers is something that I find difficult to do.  Perhaps it’s because I did not like being a teenager?  I do not know what it is, but I find that I can not think of anything to say when I am around a teenager.  I actually feel awkward, which is how most of [...]

It’s Me Again.

Here I am again.  Karen’s husband, Norm… typing away. When Karen “writes” a post, she dictates using a microphone connected to her computer.  Real High Tech. But last Friday afternoon we discovered a water leak in the hallway in front of the door which opened to our Hot Water Heater.  In an effort to control [...]
