Time for Dinner
©justmary February 2026
"Good evening."
"What? Who?"
"It's me...down here. I'm your dining room table. I don't want to get personal, but everyday I hear you complain about gaining weight. If you'll take a good look at that pizza in front of you...it's half the size …
Island of Mismatched Socks ©justmary January 2026
Have you ever wondered where the missing socks go when you’re doing laundry? You know, the obligatory missing sock. Sometimes two are missing, but never a matching pair!
Let’s follow Lefty to see where mismatched socks go to start a new life…th…

Good evening.
What? Huh? Who is it?
I'm your living room carpet.
Really? I've never heard you talk before.
Well, up until now, everything has been okay. You run the vacuum once a week. You clean up spills. But, this evening you might want to leave your shoes…
Holiday Dinner
©justmary December 2025
Tiny, how about helping me plan a holiday dinner?
Sure, Jessie, what do I need to do?
Let's see. Ask the bees to bring some honey. We can get the grasshoppers and caterpillars to bring lots of leaves. You and I can recruit a few other ants to bring bread…
Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays from Lizzy, Jessie, Tiny, the purple dragonfly, the fairy, the firefly, Dusty and Dust E. Bunny, the unruly rooster, the run away kite, the wiggly worm and flower seeds. Enjoy your holiday, but most of all...hug your friends!!

Ant Brigade

Attention! Please line up side by side. Scout is going to be our leader since he has done this
many times before. Make sure you keep the ant in front of you, in your sight at all times. This is
very important. If you run into trouble, stay put and the next an…

Woosh! Woosh! Whee!! Where am I going? I’ve never rolled this direction before. I am getting bigger as I go. This is great!
Hey!! You rolled right over the top of me.
Sorry! Hang on because I don’t know where I’m headed. The bigger I get, the faster I r…
Unruly Rooster
@gmamary October 2025
Watch out!! Here he comes again! Quick, you go left and I will go right. That crazy rooster!! He doesn’t realize he will be a snack for some hungry coyote if he doesn’t stay in the hen house overnight.
OW!! I stepped on a sharp stick, twisted my ank…
The Kite by Gma Mary

Up and up I go!! Whee! Look how far up I am! Wait….I can’t see my boy. Where is he?
The kite started to get worried, and tears started to come. About that time, a huge crow was flying by. What’s the matter my friend?
“My boy was flying me up and up, but n…
How to be a Grandmother Fairy Like Me ©
Most every little girl is a fairy, for at least some period of time, in her childhood. Along the way something begins to happen. The wings fade away; the sparkly shoes and wand disappear. The starry eyes turn dull and the long, flowing, fluffy dress melts…
I love pickles!! Almost any kind of pickle.
This spring I have decided to plant a pickle garden. What's a pickle garden you ask? It is a garden where you can grow every kind of pickle.
Hot Pickles: All you have to do is sprinkle cayenne pepper around the plants when you put them in the ground.
S…

Live your own story.
Let others live theirs.
Just observe and don't get involved in another's story.
Be the listener.
Be the love.
Be the friend.
Let them live their story the way they choose.

Do you remember playing in the mud as a kid? Swirling the sloppy goo all over the sidewalk or your legs and
arms? Sometimes life is like playing in the mud. We wallow in the sloppy goo and smear it all over ourselves
and sometimes others. That doesn't do much for your self-esteem or the friend…
Excuses are like noses, almost everyone has one. When someone really doesn't want to do something, any excuse will do..."I'm making soup."
We were well known professional photographers for many years. The day before Senior portraits were due for the yearbook, we would get a flood of phone calls w…
If you have pets, you can probably appreciate this conversation. If you don't have pets, you can probably appreciate the humor....if not, sorry about that.
When you love, you would think it wouldn't hurt. We lost our very precious Molly dog this weekend. We loved her dearly and I know she loved us. She even loved her pesky sister, Pippin. So, if we loved her and she loved us, why does it hurt so much now that she is gone? Because, we have all this lov…
Giving is the most selfish thing you can do! What!! You heard me right.
Think about it for a minute. When you give a child a gift...their eyes light up, their smile grows from ear to ear, and maybe you hear a happy squeal. What could be more fulfilling? What could give you more joy? Your heart …
Can you imagine what mess you would create if you swept the trash under the rug every time you cleaned the floor. You would always know that there is trash under the rug. That knowledge would be there haunting your peace...never leaving you alone. AND, occasionally you trip on it.
I don't want to…
Consider this...you get angry because a speeding car cut you off in traffic. You discover moments later, when you see them pull into the ER at the hospital, that there was an emergency. Then, you feel like a self-centered human. It is all in how you interpret a situation. If you consider the other p…
