Those are the best.  I have a package of the mini caramel eggs hidden in the filing cabinet in my office at home because there is no way I'm sharing with Mr and Junior Grapes.  They don't appreciate them enough. 

I recognize the look on that dog’s face. It’s the same one Orion gives me when he thinks he isn’t getting enough attention.

From 9 until about 14 I used to read hiding in the closet under the stairs because it was the quietest place in the house and I felt the dimmer light made my imagination work better. I’m in my 40s, so this was long before anyone knew Harry Potter was sleeping in the cupboard under the stairs.

Not a boomer, but my grandmother. She’s 89 with underlying medical issues, lives alone, and is a Fox News devotee. My uncle lives about 90 minutes from her and is geographically her closest relative. He spent a week trying to convince her to stay with him, knowing she wasn’t changing her routine. She refused, so last…

Thinking of you and family.   Your photographs are a touching gift to your family and a source of comfort.   Sending all my best wishes that you will visit again.

My grandmother used lime Jell-O, pineapple, and Cool Whip. It was our salad at holiday dinners. Thank you for showing me how much worse it could have been.

Your photographs are so touching.   You are giving your family an incredible gift capturing these moments. 

My sister gave my son a toy xylophone for his birthday, so I gave my nephew Play Doh for Christmas.

Kroger in my area has Scan, Bag, and Go.  You take a scanner at the front of the store, scan as you shop, bag directly in your cart, at the end take the scanner to self check, and use the barcode on the scanner to pay.  There is an app, too, but it doesn't scan as well.

I’m in the Phoenix area if you don’t want to be alone the next time your family cancels.

Fantastic news! I’m so happy for him and thankful he and his human adore each other so much. Mimi is breathing a sigh of relief that I am no longer tempted to find Bruce and ruin her only cat status.

They do have That Darn Cat! They do need more Hayley Mills. The only others I saw were Parent Trap and Pollyanna.

I still get asked “when” I’m having another. My son is in high school and I’m in my 40s. If I had another, they’d turn around and judge me for being too old to have a kid and/or for the size of the age gap (I don't agree,  but can imagine where that would lead). My usual response is “when someone else carries, births,…

I see it from different age groups,  but the experience is different.   My son is a only child,  which tends to be the source of judgement from the 55+group and the reason for invasive personal questions from those younger. 

I’m fine with high school kids trick or treating, but I’d like to see them wear costumes. In my neighborhood they wear their school sports uniform. Really?

Mimi isn't sure she agrees with your theory, even though I do.  She'll look directly at me until I'm ready to take the picture,  then she turns.

Oh, Maya.  My heart goes out to you for everything you're going through.   Sending you all the hugs and good thoughts and wishes.  

I went out with a guy I met in a bar (I’ll call him X) not long after moving to a new city. By the end of the first date it was painfully obvious my seven year old cousin was capable of a more intelligent conversation than X. In my youthful naivete I told him we could still be friends (not with benefits). He agreed. A…

What a sweetie!  Babies have such a way of making sleep murdering worth every minute. 

Bruce captions definitely enhance the experience.   I love him from afar and the captions make me smile.
