4:05 a.m. And I Guess All's Well...

.....It's all the fault of Sis that I cannot go to sleep. It was about 7:00 p.m. when she contacted me (even though we live next door we e-mail or I-phone each other) and she wanted to know if I would come over and watch a tense movie with her, an old pre-technicolor with James Mason and........of...

"The Trick Is Getting Up Again" (Pat_b)

Even if one does not get hurt (FSI spoke of getting hurt when he fell at church) what Pat said is true. Everyone that lives in this complex is past their sixty-second birthday and still very active and able to take care of themselves.... to a certain point. That point is often realized when they...

Rest For The Weary

...... Contemplation of Nature brings peace to the harried-ridden soul I love everything in my backyard especially since I am on the third floor and look down on it from above. I couldn't begin to count the number of trees in my visibility when I look out one of my windows. It is always well... Sign in to see full entry.

Family Discrepancies...

.....My extended family has always been unique in many ways....it includes quite a variety of nationality mixtures, which include English, Scotch-Irish, Czechoslovakian, Taiwanese, Sri Lankan, Black, Polish, Brazilian, American Indian, German and who knows what else. It also includes several gay... Sign in to see full entry.

"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.

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.
