Changes
Why does 41 o seem so cold? In the middle of winter I would pray for 41 o. I hope I soon become acclimated to the change of weather. But, as soon as I get used to the cooler weather, we will have another hot spell. That's the way it goes in our state. You wouldn't believe the clothing I have put on...

Praise Where It Is Due
Yesterday they built the porch/balcony Today they are out there caulking the screw indentations and getting ready to paint. I am more than satisfied. The contractors ended up being very good at what they do and worked nine continuous hours to get it done in one day so we wouldn't forget and walk out...

They're H-e-e-e-re!
Many moons ago (actually four score & two days ago) when the deluge was upon our land (the Midwest, and Kansas City in particular) and flooding did abound, and many suffered loss, I posted here that much water had come beneath the sliding-glass doors to our porch and somehow poured into our dining...

Continuation
Where is Michael? Had he gone back to Afghanistan? Was he still in Florida? Did he think I didn't even care? It seemed as if the grieving process was tearing family apart. Everyone was lost in their own feelings, living with their own hurt. I remember that so clearly from back in 1967 when my...

Leading The Pack, Keeping Up, Falling Behind
There was a time in my life when I was definitely in the lead position and I loved it. I must say that it is definitely exhilarating. But time and chance wait for no man. Years roll by and before one knows it, falling behind becomes a way of life. Even that can be exhilarating if one knows how to...

One Day Ago
Before the rains come, one can feel it in the air and know it is coming. Tonight is a good example of that. I can feel it in my head that it is going to be one of those downpours where streams form quickly and flow down the hills to the low places where the waters collect and block the roads, where...

Family Traits And Lots Of Love
One hundred and eleven years old--that's what my mother would have been tomorrow if she were living, but she only made it to eighty nine. October 6 always brings to me so many memories every year. She was a very special lady and I have always wished I was more like her. But, I also have too many...

All closed up, windows staring blankly back as if dazed that the TV is not playing. No smell of cooking,... no doors being opened or slamming shut. No one around, no hammering or sawing, no lathe noises from the wood-working shed. The lawn has been mowed recently, the mailbox is empty, neighborhood...

Here I Am Again
I hadn't realized that so many days have gone by since I last posted on Blogit. I have dropped in a few times and read a blog or two. Things have been pretty hectic around here and everything wears me out so much. Sis was admitted to the hospital for a terrible gallbladder attack that involved such...

New For Me
I usually take "new for me" pretty much for granted, but I'm a bit nervous about this one. I almost wish I hadn't made the commitment just to make other people happy. I did like things the way they were. Today my Apple iPhone is supposed to arrive. I know I mentioned it once before and it seems like...
