She taught herself a couple of years ago. My brother bought her a ukulele when she said she wanted to learn to play. She's pretty good, too. Next, she says she's going to learn the mandolin, which will send my brother over the moon, because he plays it.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-77357935982097983522015-06-14T23:16:54.386-05:002015-06-14T23:16:54.386-05:00When my mother is there, she waits on them, which ...When my mother is there, she waits on them, which I try to stop her from doing.

Except you can't swim in the water. It's REALLY cold. It is drawn through generators at a dam from the bottom of another lake (that one is actually warm enough for swimming and such). The water is 200 feet deep at the dam, so that's mighty cold water - usually around 48 degrees. Trout fishing only, really. But in the evening, there is fog and wonderfully cool air that wafts up from it.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-1286785748597897422015-06-14T23:07:55.153-05:002015-06-14T23:07:55.153-05:00COMPLETELY unnamed friend.

Have you ever had a catheter? I kept feeling the sensation of needing to go when I had one before I had my daughter, but I also felt the need to hold it in, because, well, you're not supposed to let it go unless you're on a toilet, right? I was sure I was going to pee all over the bed, but eventually, I couldn't take it any more and relaxed, and once I got used to it, it was kind of nice.<br />It always drives me crazy that there are empty bottles rolling around in her car, but I can see now that it ended up being a good thing!<br />Do you read recipes on Pinterest and say "well, THAT will never happen"? So many of them are what I consider works of fiction.

I'm thinking I should just get her a box of adult diapers next time she comes to visit.<br />YES, that's a silicone baking mat! I have a couple of Silpat brand (I think they've made my TToT at some point), but these are newer ones that were a gift from my assistant teacher at preschool. They work just as well as the Silpat, which means they work GREAT.

I have no idea what happened to the first one, but all that seems to be left of it is the manual, an air filter, and some attachments. None of these things go with the newer shop vac, and I want to throw them away but haven't had the nerve to do so yet.<br />We love that house and location! Come visit. We can sit on the porch and swat mosquitoes together.<br />HER NECK IS BETTER THAN MINE. I CONFESS! But I think some of that is because she's heavier than I am (sorry, Trisha, true story). Some of mine is looser than hers.

It was probably midnight when it happened and I sat in the car all night until some nice man stopped about 8 a.m. and changed my tire for me. I had to get out of the car twice in the night to pee, but there was no one to see me.
