DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 27 Apr

Once someone gets something into their head in my family, there is no stopping them. We were surprised to hear that our grandson wanted to attend boarding school during high school, but figured it would pass. He was only in 6th...

My son and granddaughter were supposed to visit us in Florida the weekend before they actually came, but my son called to ask if we would mind if they changed the date. I was so disappointed. He has been a huge fan of the UCONN...

In case you don’t recognize this guy, it’s my grandson! Last summer, before going to camp in Maine, he went to goalie camp in Minnesota for a month. He got hot playing hockey and his long hair annoyed him. So he looked up hair...

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 21 Apr

Just a quick hello from me. I haven’t forgotten myLot, nor my friends here. Just wanted to drop in to say a big hello. I’m shocked that I haven’t stopped by sooner. The Ice Princess stopped by last weekend to visit Grammy and...

I Never Touched a Chicken

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 11 Apr 23

That’s the truth! I was on my morning walk yesterday when I stopped to take a photo of some pretty yellow flowers on a shrub. I didn’t care for the photo, so was about to take another photo when I got the shock of my life. A...

I’m Hoping for a Huge Hurricane

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 11 Mar 23

Not at all, but if we get one, I will feel more comfortable. Finally, the window company is here after waiting for city permits and HOA approval. We chose hurricane 5 level windows and doors, which is overkill for my area, but...

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 8 Mar 23

Many don’t eat beef due to cultural reasons, diet, or health reasons, but hubs and I do. Although we have cut way back on eating red meat, we couldn’t resist buying 8 pounds or almost 4 kilograms of ground beef that our butcher...

Scarred for Life

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 7 Mar 23

My poor grandson caught the edge of a hockey ice skate in a dog pile, which I think was when the team surrounded him tightly after a game and jumped on him after a win. Tsk. Tsk. I snuck this off his TikTok video. That’s why...
