"Wars and Rumors of Wars" Seems to Be the News...

......What can I say but, "Oh Lord Jesus come." and "My times are in thy hands." While here there is beauty and peace, green growing things waving in the breeze below a blue sky. How can it be that these things are going on in the same world?.....at the same time? Cease Fire.....bombings.....Nuclear... Sign in to see full entry.

Old Is Totally Relative To Something Else...

......The only times that I feel old is when I happen to look in a mirror, or when I on purpose choose to look in a mirror. Yes....I look very old. Life has been hard on my physical me. So, I try to stay away from mirrors. In my present rented apartment, there are only two mirrors and they are both... Sign in to see full entry.

"Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive, Ah Ah Ah Stayin' Alive..."

Both Me and my laptop are still around, though I'm being bothered by both Spring back trouble and knee pain so I'm moving around very carefully.....sorta like an old person does. (I still don't think of myself as an old person).....just a bit of wear and tear that one has to be aware of and work... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think My Computer Is All Messed Up...

.....If you can not read me, please let me know. If you cannot read my answer fugitit. I think my sweet little mechanical companion has gone by the wayside. My Dil warned me month ago that it was getting very old and that I should probably get a new one but I laughed it off. I'm too old to start all... Sign in to see full entry.

The Human Prune...

.....My youngest Sister Sharon is taking her first travel flight since being bought out of working for SSI and is now retired at 70. She lives in Maryland and will be flying in for my 88th birthday in July. I'm trying hard to remain a beautiful juicy ripe plum, but I'm quickly turning into a dried... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Again!...I'm Done With Photo Troubles & Trials...

.....Just use your imagination when/if you are reading me. I'll try to give a verbal description that can give you a mental picture.....that's the best I can do. Today, Son Stephen and Grandson Phil and I went out to eat. As far as I know, it was the first time that Phil had seen me keeping up with... Sign in to see full entry.

Gray Day ... Gray Day... Gray Day

The sky is thick with clouds, the ground is wet, no sunshine do I see. And, I feel as if I am a part of the whole mess both physically and mentally. What a way to begin a Sunday Morning and the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend Week. Of course, on this week of each year my mind goes to Ribcage and... Sign in to see full entry.

It's True...Laughter Is the Best Medicine...

.......What would you say is about the percentage of laughter in your communication with those that you love? Laughter draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional and spiritual changes in the body, mind and soul. It's not just a joke....it is definitely a real benefit...

I Feel Old and Useless When...

.....I can't accomplish something by myself any longer, like: 1. Like not being able to make my computer do what I want it to do. (like showing that old photo yesterday.) It's like where did my brain go? 2. Like walking by myself without a walker. It's like where did my balance go? (Good grief, I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

This is my Sister Nila back in those days come to our place to share Easter with us and three of my four boys, the fourth to be born in about a month or so.

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.
