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 
I love this!!!
Thank you, Tammy. I wanted to return your visit but I can’t find a WP link. Do you have one?
Wooooowhooooo!!!
86 and trucking on, winning Yahtzee, hearts, and souls 🙂
So happy birthday eve my friend for tomorrow is a brand new day to a brand new year…
all sorts of brand new years 🙂
Half a score more sounds so much better than ten; maybe a score. I don’t think I’ll ever play Yahtzee again; I set my bar too high. Beginner’s luck.
🥳🤩
Wow, 5 yahtzee, I’d be happy with just one. That makes you one lucky lady, Oneta. 😀
They keep coming! One was a single roll; the other two were four alike on the first roll, then matched on the third roll. Fun sure enough! I’ll not take my luck to the casino, however.
I don’t blame you, it’s risky that way. Believe me, I learned that the hard way last year after winning big at a casino. I believe one only had so much luck before it runs out and mine apparently ran out because I haven’t been able to win at anything since.
I learn from the experience of others and from the size and glitziness of the casinos. They make a lot of money to run those places and make the owners rich to boot!
Thank you. You are the woman of Godly dimensions a constant encourager in my life. Keep on Keepin’ on Sister.
Thank you, Faye. This life is an adventure; I’m glad I’m riding with the Lord through good and ill. Wish I could convince others it is wise to choose Him in one’s youth, as Solomon says. That’s Solomon says and Simon says. 😀
I’d forgotten Yahtzee. I hardly can remember how it was played — but good for you! Five wins, five players, five days — what an interesting coincidence. And happy birthday to one of my favorite bloggers! Who knows what great “wins” will come in the next year?
I’m seeing it through the eyes of an adventurer, believing the Lord is with me on this ride. Hey that will be a good theme for me. I’ve just learned since Christmas. Karen and Bobby have played a lot, but it was new to Paul and Shariol. But no matter how much experience or lack thereof, everybody recognizes a Yahtzee and knows what to do – stand and shout, spin around, raise your hands and sit down and write a 50. When you make a second one, you have to be very creative in your antics! Then sit down and make an X. 😀
Happy birthday Oneta and many happy returns of the day.
Thanks much, Pranab. Sort of an up and down day but outlook is good. Having to draw on my faith, but that is strengthening.
It’s a funny coincidence that in a few more days I shall be at the reverse of your age.😀
68? I thought you were a forty-fifty year old. Aging has been good, but you know who has helped me with that issue. I’m going over to see if you are writing. I have been so far behind on my notifications, I have given up on them. Mostly read from my contacts on blogs now. Have a good rest. My husband just said he is on his way to bed so I guess it is bed time. I’ll be a couple more hours.
I feel sixteen😀. Forty Five? Sorry to disappoint you.
Walked 12 miles today.
Haven’t been writing for sometime now. Whole of last year I had been quite delinquent in looking after my health and finally my doctor said that if I do not shape up soon, I should be ready to meet my maker soon. I told him that I don’t think my maker, who I have not ever met, would be in any hurry to meet me any time soon( not that I mind if it’s in one shot😀).But doctors do not have sense of humor I think.
12 miles? WOW. No wonder you are not blogging much. How much time does that take? At least half the day, huh. Death is not humorous. But sometimes I think it is pleasant; at least calm and peaceful. You are so callous, Pranab. Hope you can outwalk Death. Remember Your Maker loves you. And I care. Does your wife walk with you? Enjoy the journey.
About four hours.
Outwalk death? No way, just assuming that if I walk it will take more time to get there, wherever there is.
She does sometimes. Today she did about eight but returned early as we had guests coming.
As long as death is instantaneous, I shall humor it.
Why I am callous? I feel sad.
I guess sadness at times is a fact of life. But retain you sensitivity for others. Give your wife my greetings. Eight miles – bless her. I admire her spunk. How do I know she has spunk? Well….she is Mrs. Pranab, must call for spunk. 😀
Very cool and lots of fun with that Yatzee game! I haven’t played that in years, but remember it was fun. Happy Birthday! 🙂
Yes, it was fun. Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment.
Congratulations on your birthday and on your blog. Yup, we will soon be gong home, Praise the Lord.
Amen. I looked up some of your books today. Might order one when my daughter in law gets time. She helps me with that kind of thing. She’ll be here in a few days. Which should I order? I don’t want series unless each story is complete. I might die and never know! Just like with OJ. I’m the only person living who is not convinced he did it! 😆😆
