Grandma Shirley's Corner

Hi everyone!  I hadn't intended to blog today, but, I have a reason for doing so. Not a good one, but a reason. I dirtied up dishes this morning, at lunch, and dinner, and they are all in the sink. I've just sort of been ignoring them as the day goes by. It's seven in the evening and yes, I know I have to get them done, but I figured that if I sit here and chat with you a few minutes, what could it hurt. Ya' know? But let's go in the kitchen for a bit,  don't look in the sink,  and check out the spices. Well, you can't but I'll tell you about them.  I like to use different spices when I cook.  But I don't really cook very often anymore.  When there was a husband and four boys, I felt like I was cooking for farmers!

Hi grandkids, gamers, and viewers! Recently returned from a gamers convention in Owensboro, KY.  I must admit that I was afraid to go. Why? Because I'm 81 years old and I knew they would all be young! I was afraid no one would know me from my YouTube channel, and that OMGcon would be sorry they invited me! But man was I wrong! There were so many young people coming up to me asking if I was "Grandma Shirley"  or  "The Gaming Grandma", and telling me that they watch my channel!!  Actually some of the other 'guests' knew me.  And,  I was surprised to see some other older gamers there!! The most fun for me was when I did my "Panel",  which is just me, a mic, and a bottle of water. LOL AND   everyone one sitting out in front of me. We just chatted back and forth...me just talking and them asking questions etc.  It was so much fun!                               ...
