The Way It Goes For Old People...

.....I was doing so good, working so hard at getting ready to move, packing, moving in, unpacking and putting things in their places. I was going strong and thinking that everything would be hunkey dorey from here on out. But suddenly.... Suddenly, just when everything was going good,....suddenly,... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Old Turkey Buzzard After Me?

.... Just today with Son, driving down the road near where I live, there was one of these walking down the road like he owned it. I'm glad I was not out for a walk by myself. I've never seen anything like that except in old Western movies. Sign in to see full entry.

Spring Allergies and Cinco De Mayo...

.....I was never a person to be bothered by allergies even though there were family members with that problem, but this year allergy season has hit me hard. By that, I mean that my whole face and head and chest hurts. From my boobs on down, everything is status quo. The worst of it began four days... Sign in to see full entry.

Tornado Time Is Here In Tornado Alley

All my life I have lived in Tornado Alley....I probably always will. As a child I hated going to the basement for protection. In those days, basements were not the most pleasant place to be and to sit down in that dreary place awaiting destruction was a really horrible experience for a child. In our...

Eighty-Four More Books...I Should Live So Long...

.....I've never known what to call him, except "Chris". He is not really my son-in-law though that's what I introduce him as. In reality, he is the husband of my daughter-in-law. Is she still my daughter-in-law even though my Son David died thirty-six years ago? We still have that same bond and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Love Spring...but...but...but...

Spring has me in it's grip in several ways. I love love, love the birds singing and flitting and and nesting and laying eggs and having little birdies. I love the grass greening and the colorful flowers. I love it that I can open my windows and freshen the whole place naturally instead of spraying... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Trying To Figure Out Why...

.....but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason for it. The noisy squawking drew me to my window and I saw a whole noisy "V" of Canada geese had come down shy of the lake across the road and were meandering around making noise as if they were lost. Who knows the mind of a goose, especially a Canada... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry Junior and His Pet Person

He picked her years ago from a long line of home-owners in Sacramento. There was no rhyme or reason why he picked my cute niece for his pet person, except that she is always smiling and laughing and friendly. He watches over her comings and goings atop the roof of her house and if she is out in her... Sign in to see full entry.

I Definitely Want To Move, But...

.....Having lived in the same place for twenty years, I had forgotten how much trouble it is to do that sort of thing. Right now I am just working on papers to apply for an apartment in the complex where Sister Nila lives. We have talked about doing this for years now since Son Ribcage passed away....

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
