Relaxing And Making Plans
A beautiful weekend here in mid western Michigan. Temps in the 70's, a pleasant break from the steady diet of 40's and 50's we have had. I didn't get a lot of work done, but we had a gathering of the extended family and it was nice. I'm sending a couple to my new home in Newberry, Michigan to do the...

What's That Smell?
Ok, I'm not dead, I just smell that way.The last week was the second anniversary of my wife passing and it overwhelmed me a lot more than I ever anticipated. I went north to 'get away' for a while. The original intent was to be gone about three days. Well, three days turned to eight days. I should...

Just A Thought
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or a $30.00 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $15 wine - the hangover is the same. Whether...

Love (of Writing) Hurts!
My right shoulder is still on fire, but I can't keep from writing. Yeah, I'm an idiot, but you knew that. I don't know exactly what I've done to that shoulder, but it is very unhappy with me. I just posted about 1150 words over in my murder story I've been working on in the "Mature" section. It's...

It Hurts! LOL
This has been a nice weekend, but I slept wrong on my right shoulder and apparently have a muscle or nerve impingement, making it highly uncomfortable to use a keyboard. my brain is moving quite well, but just writing this little bit has my shoulder screaming like a little kid who just lost their...

On The Road Again... Or At Least Just Down The Road A Bit
I spent some more time at a local adult care home and haven't been here much the last day or so. It's always a joy to do this. I've got nothing but time and I think working with them benefits me as much as it does them. Thanks to those posting concerns about my mental status as mentioned in my...

The Gift of Pets
Unless something goofy happens, I intend to be home and on the keyboard most of the day as I was gone most of the day yesterday. My visits with people yesterday sparked some great thoughts and I will use them. One of my conversations was with a man who had just recently lost his wife. He didn't say...

I'll Be Back
A number of things have popped up here and I'm not able to get much writing done. I think I've mentioned I do a lot of visitations to a couple local 'adult foster care' homes before with my big lovable boxer dog. Someone else has normally been going three days a week and they haven't been able to...

Look Mom, No Headaches!
Yesterday was a good day. My son and I had a lot of time to just talk, and that was nice. You forget how nice it is to just chat some days. My personal story of recovering from a serious head injury (My Long Road Back )during a time where very few understood the ramifications of such a thing is...

Rain Rain, Everywhere
It has been a steady down pour now for almost twenty hours. It's warmer, which probably a good thing in case we have to swim out of here. My son is going to stop in here shortly, so I'll be back later. I've got a couple things posted, but one of those is posted over in the "Mature" area due to its...
