On To Christmas
After everyone eats a tremendous amount of Thanksgiving dinner food and begin to groan and push back from the table, I am always amazed at how much still remains for leftovers: casseroles, sandwiches, turkey omelets, turkey soup, turkey salad. I insisted that guests take with them packets of...

Pardon The Turkey
Gratitude can truly be a shortcut for staying positive and happy... ~ Editor of Livestrong.com I must say, I am truly thankful for this thing: But, right about now I am sorely tempted to give it away to someone who wants it and order catered deli sandwiches for tomorrow. But temptation shall not win...

The Last Turkey Show
Well, I donned my old purple felt cloche this morning for several reasons: #1 - It keeps my head very warm on a cold windy day like today. #2 - It sort of matches my purple shirt and the purple pattern bits of my jacket. #3 - It makes me look like the picture of my old Oklahoma grandma taken back in...

It Continues
Rising from the churning sea of unformed thoughts and dashing dreams like foaming breakers pounding shore and dragging sand back from my feet, i deas come, then quickly go rejected, banished to the deep to seethe and roil, rise and fall until a loud and sudden squall points out what I had missed...

Apology In Order
I did not mean to trick, or to confuse, my readers in my last post; I just forgot to add something that was supposed to be added--a caption under the picture of the shiny tree. Actually, the tree in that picture is not a real tree at all. It is a stainless steel sculpture of a tree. It is at the...

Pouty Spell Is Shortlived
There is still a month left of fall.... but everything already fell, every pretty colored leaf, the temperature, freezing rain, the wind-chill index, and snow is on its way. Winter might as well come too. It's going to whether it is welcome or not. Cold weather makes Son #1 grouchy. He says it makes...

Chaumiere
It wasn't really "thatched", but it definitely was a cottage. Actually, it was, and still is the cottage of my heart. My mother and dad resided there, grew old there, and baby sister's presence was felt even after she was gone. Chaumiere, "thatched cottage", is still close by and holds memories that...

First Posts
Now and then I find myself drawn to first posts of bloggers here at Blogit. I love first posts because everything is new to the writer; often they are doing their best; and the sad part is that often no one ever reads the first post. It is easy to be missed when one is new. I have often suggested...

There Is Just Something About Sisters
Sisters--saying goodbye to me today per email with a selfie because I refused to go with them. You all drive safely now you hear, and have lots of fun. They are on their way to pick up friend Richard at his hotel and then they're off. I just am not up to an all-day drive down to Arkansas and back in...

Guilty Of Non-Payment?
The laughter beneath my balcony must have something to do with my now-naked maple tree. I don't know who the children are, but they sure are having fun. They were covering themselves up, all except their faces, and then when someone would walk up the sidewalk unawares, the children would rise up...
