Are You Singing?

....When I was a child in elementary school, we had one special teacher with a pitch pipe to lead the singing of the children....no piano played, only the pitch pipe to get us on tune. One of the songs I remember so vividly as the children sang a round with the auditorium divided in three sections... Sign in to see full entry.

I Couldn't Believe What My Nephew Wrote on Facebook This Evening...

....In the first place we are in an ice storm tonight with wind and with eight to twenty-three inches of snow to come down on top of any downed iced tree limbs causing electricity problems. Of course I knew that my Nephew's daughter is an EMT for Children's Mercy Hospital and that she works... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't know what it is about today, But...

......I have slept half of it away even though I slept well all night long. When the phone rang I didn't answer. I could hear the message without getting off the bed. It was the Bible Study Ladies summoning me to meeting and wondering why I was not already there. I turned over and went back to... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Coming, It's Coming...

.....Make your plans, look for problems, fix them now and tomorrow hunker down. Friday the 13th is a bane to any boon on other Fridays. Take heed to what I say! Actually, I am not a superstitious person. As far as I am concerned one Friday is as good as another and "luck" good or bad we bring up on... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Grief Granny...

.....It has been more that five months since I moved into my present home, and all of this time has been spent without being able to order anything by internet to be delivered to me because whenever I thought to do that I couldn't figure out how to change the address and telephone numbers to my new...

Something Fierce Was Being Cooked...

.....I was in front of the mirror in the bathroom for quite some time trying to do something with my old lady hair which is whiter, and thinner, and longer than it has been in a long time. After washing it and drying it with a blow dryer, it is impossible to control without leaving a few bald places... Sign in to see full entry.

No! No! No!

A dark and dreary night on Halloween it was this year. The fallen leaves all crunchy and dry were making sounds as I walked among them trying to get back to my door and get back in. I had my key ready, but I was not quick enough. My back to the unlocked door and he came toward me looking like a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Afraid That I Am...

.....a loafer in my old age. I was such a "go-getter" when I was young, especially when my four sons were growing up. That was such a fun time. But now I am a wastrel of time and talent and money and anything else that takes time. This beautiful fall time I get up, make me a cup of coffee and sit in... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Anyone My Age Remember...

.....how to do Algebra problems? It has been so long ago since I needed to know and now....now I have put my foot in my mouth and can't get it out. My youngest granddaughter is in her last year of high school and she loves all the extracurricular stuff, but isn't too hep on the classes that take... Sign in to see full entry.

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.

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.
