A gentle tugging on my T-shirt interrupts my computer game play. “Good Lady.” Molly, my goblin housekeeper, looks up at me with her large, beautiful brown eyes. “Good Lady, would you mind terribly, if we had a few dear friends to visit this weekend? We’ve been wandering homeless for many…

Apologies – Mrs. Walters Has a New Grandson
My apologies for not posting sooner. My daughter Lynn gifted me with an adorable grandson. There is nothing cuter than a massive diaper with two little legs hanging out! He’s so precious and likes to sleep on people like me, his Oma. I’ve been helping her out and I forgot how much laundry…
