Welcome to My World

The rantings, philosophies, and memories of a retired military, ex-diplomat, tattooed biker chick, quilting o'lady, pagan college student step-mom.

No guilt trip here - I refuse to to cave into that trap - about anything. Everything happens for a reason (Karma? Fate? Destiny? Dumb Luck? or Free Will...) and it is what it is. I've come to a point in my life where I can accept that.

Eveyone always told me to write a book, because I have so many funny stories, life experiences, unique view points...but, a book? What a pain in the ass. Blogging seemed like the next best thing, so, if you're ready (and there's room enough for everyone!) fire up the bikes and lets ride....

My "Grandpa"

All my "natural" grandparents are dead. Luckily, the Ol' Man still has both his Grandma and Grandpa on his mother's side. I've adopted them as my own - they are wonderful, perfect, quintessential "grandparent" types. They're in their 80's (I think), and they look just like Grandma's and Grandpa's are suppose to look like. Grandpa is gluten intolerant - can't eat bread. I had never heard of that before. When the Ol' Man and I went to the store the other day, they have an organic section that has a bunch of gluten-free stuff (crackers, pasta, cereal, chips, cookies...). I did a search on Google, and found out that gluten intolerance, also known as Coeliac Disease, is a hereditary disorder that affects the immune system. There's tons of information on the Internet about it...recipes, websites, medical stuff. Anyway, the Ol' Man and I bought a bunch of stuff for Grandpa and put together a "care package" for him. I'm so happy to have a Grandma and Grandpa again.
