Short Game 15
Linda, JB and Riley visited us for a holiday celebration between Christmas and New Year’s. Notice how thrilled parents look when their little boy receives a boomerang from a Gramma with a wicked sense of humor.
On the other hand, until the boomerang is bounced off Dog’s noggin, it is a much quieter gift than the truly god awful singing Bob the Builder for which I am sure my sister will be going straight to hell.

Sincere thanks to all who offered such lovely comments on my last post; I am truly grateful. So far on my book writing adventure, I have sharpened all my pencils and organized the paperclips, large to small. No stopping me now.

For a time, my family lived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This clipping fell out of one of Mom’s diaries. It was in the Letters to the Editor column of the Manistique Pioneer Tribune in 1971. And yes, it is real:
Our Apologies …
To all of the wonderful friends and relatives who attended the Smith wedding and reception in Germfask on Friday, Nov. 5th: the language, attire and general behavior of the groom thoroughly offended and shamed us all.
We wish to thank the State Police and ambulance drivers from Manistique for their prompt arrival, even though we were disappointed no arrest was made.
We are pleased that our wife and mother was released from the hospital and is recuperating at home with only a broken arm.
Again we say we are sorry and shamed by the action of the man our daughter and sister chose.
