ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Glad you “survived” the cruise— I fretted about the hurricane— but I’m sorry for the continuing health woes— I’m in Atlanta all week— since last Thursday— the sheriff came through surgery with flying colors but I’m on nursing duties so not blogging, just reading—/ but I’m excited for a little thanksgiving rant 😎
I’ll get over to see what has been happening in the mayor/sheriff arena. “Flying colors” sounds good for the sheriff. I have a guess that the mayor has been flying a few colors in demand for recognition of her mayoral status – perhaps usurped by the sheriff. 😀
Terrible two in a nutshell— and not yet 2 😑
A phase only, might not last through two. The sweet three might arrive by two. Well, one can dream, can’t one? 😀
Frantically dreaming 😳
Oh my gosh! I hope all is well now. Dee
Good day today – I expect that kind to be normal again. Thanks. Good to be back.
❤️
I’m glad you’re back, I missed your writings. But oh my goodness… I’m so sorry for all the sickness. Praying for you and your husband right now. 💘💘
Thanks so much, and thanks for the prayers for my husband. He is better today, he says. 😀
Praise God! I’m so glad.
😀
Welcome back, Oneta.
I’ve enjoyed a bit of computer time today. Doing much better. Thanks.
I’m so glad to see you. I thought about you a lot after the sad news about a man jumping off a cruise ship out of Galveston while you were gone. I didn’t know which ship you were on, and I hoped it wasn’t that one.
I’m sorry to hear about your illness, and your husband’s, too. It’s good to read that you’re both feeling better. I managed to get to the oral surgeon, lose a wisdom tooth, and still survive. Actually, the experience wasn’t so bad, even for someone who’s always feared dentists. I did stop the prescription pain medication after three days, and went with Tylenol and Advil. I’ve never taken anything like Tylenol with codeine, and I finally figured out that as the reason I was so dizzy and couldn’t stay awake for more than two hours. If I ever need the super-duper stuff, it would be great to have it, but I’m of the less is better school.
I’m looking forward to reading you again. You’ve been missed!
I hadn’t heard of the man overboard. I did consider how easily one could take this route out. There was no defense against such action and the rails were only slightly over waist high. My daughter-in-law leaned against one; when it moved she saw it was a gate. Scary. Sorry about the tooth ill, but it sounds as though you made it quite well. I haven’t used any pain pills except for Tylenol except in hospital. One Tylenol does well for me for three or four hours anyway. Thanks for watching for me. I really did enjoy my peek at Galveston. It was be a joy for me to spend some time there. Loved those old buildings!
Welcome back. 🙂
Right on. I’m ready for some routine!
My heart and my spirit REJOICE to see your blog once more. You have been missed. Trusting that you are now feeling 100% and at PEACE. Blessings.
I’ve had a good day. Thank you for the nice welcome back! You are kind.
Hope everything is finally settling down for you. ❤️xo
Getting in the groove. Today makes day two! 😀
That’s good! 😉
Welcome back. We are praying for you and your husband.
Blessings.
Thank you. I am quite concerned about my husband’s lingering symptoms – respiratory, cough, lack of appetite. Do continue the prayers.
Thankful that you’re alive enough to write – even just to write that you won’t be writing much “for a while.” 😉 Take care. You are loved.
Thanks, Annie.
