Hooray!
Grandma of Grandma’s Goulash is back! And I hope my work life is settling down
enough that I’m back from my unexpected little break as well. Succinctly Yours

it’s actually last week’s. Oops.
Dr. Snaumann listened for his
patient’s heartbeat and consulted his medical wisdom. “I diagnose a cold,” he
said. “An UNCOMMONLY cold!” 138
“Also,” said Dr. Snaumann, “Have
you noticed any vision problems? Conventional wisdom tells me this might be an
issue.” 120

ReplyDeleteHello for 2016 (already three weeks in...eeekkk..) Lovely start to the Goulash offerings - will look to get back to it myself in February... YAM xx
Eeeeekkk is right! Hope you get back soon! Miss you!
DeleteTammy--Yah! You're back with these super-short pieces. They always bring a smile or a chuckle, along with a how-did-she-do-that? shake of the head.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite? The one with the diagnosis of a vision problem. I'd like to think of some clever comment like some twist on, "I guess they ayes don't have it" but I have nuthin'.
Story of my life, Sioux! I'd like to think of some clever comment, but I have nuthin'. Or worse - I'll think of it two weeks later.
DeleteBoth are funny, but my favorite was the second. As always, well done, Tammy!

Thanks, Pat!
DeleteThat last one made me LOL. You are so great at these.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda, and thank you so much for returning after my looooong absence!! I've missed everyone's posts. It's good to be back!
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh. The vision issue! Thank goodness the doctor was not a plastic surgeon. I smell a nose job...
ReplyDeleteHee hee! Yes, I hear he's thinking about getting a parsnip. Or possibly a radish.
DeleteLove that second one, Tammy! Vision problems made me LOL. Also love that beautiful Julia Cameron quote. So glad you're back! I hope to be back to commenting more regularly as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. These are awesome, as usual. I love the spelling...Snaumann. Haha...

The truth will come out! Still, you persevered against all odds! What a blessing to have two amazing kids too! We all love you, and wish you continued happiness!

ReplyDeleteHello there I am so delighted I found your webpage, I really found you by accident, while I was looking on Digg for
ReplyDeletesomething else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say many thanks for a marvelous post and a all round enjoyable blog (I also love the theme/design), I don't
have time to go through it all at the moment but I have book-marked
it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the superb job.
My brother suggested I might like this web site. He was totally right.
ReplyDeleteThis post actually made my day. You cann't imagine simply how much time I
had spent for this information! Thanks!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
bookmarked!!, I love your website!
ReplyDeleteSweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I've been trying for a while but I never seem
to get there! Appreciate it
