Why, Betty, Why?

It's like I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on something these days. I found myself sitting in my recliner, feet up, laptop on my lap and behind it was the TV with the news on and it looking like it was sitting on top of the laptop screen, and an open book settled on the wide arm of the chair.

To Keep My Mind Working

Sometimes when I intend to write something in the way of a Blogit post, I sit and stare at the keyboard and it looks foreign to me...like what do I do now to get my thoughts where I want them. Sometimes I have to look all over the keyboard for where to finger tap one letter or one direction I want.... Sign in to see full entry.

Early To Rise

No matter how early I go to bed these days, or how late, it doesn't seem to make a difference, but I wake up around 4:00 a.m. and I can't stay in the bed any longer even though it is still dark and cold. I always look out these winter days to see if there was new snow while I slept. We did have snow... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perplexities Of Aging

Son P.D. and I got into a discussion about the Super Bowl and ended up in a disagreement about the time for the Fly Over in Kansas City time where we will be watching it, as opposed to the time it would be in Arizona time. We could not come to an agreement because Arizona does not have DST (daylight... Sign in to see full entry.

The Humdrum Conundrum

Where does the money go? When I was a teen, my Dad taught me to budget, to tithe, to save, and to spend within my means without borrowing. When I married I found that my Mother-in-Law had done a good job of teaching my new husband the same things and he, in turn, impressed those things on our sons.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hobbling And Wobbling I Am

The cold is getting to me. Hobbling with a painful knee has begun to cause me wobbling with a painful crick in my back. It seems to me it's awfully cold in this part of town. The furnace seems to be at work full tilt without respite, for which I am thankful, and people passing by outside are dressed... Sign in to see full entry.

Does This Mean I'm Getting Old?

The winter weather, or something akin to it, is making me feel old in some type of chain reaction in my body. It began a couple of weeks ago in my right knee that began to jab me now and then when I walked. It has gradually moved upward from my knee to jabbing pains in my upper leg from knee to...

I Feel Like I'm Pippa

This is a beautiful day and it is passing by too quickly. Time never drags for me. There are too many things about each day that I just love. It is difficult to pack in what I like without leaving undone some things that I ought to be doing. P.D. brought me half of the breast of a large turkey that... Sign in to see full entry.

Can You Believe It?

For some time, my Florida son and his family have been struggling with having their kitchen completely redone and have lived with the mess. It has been so much like what Kabu has been going through that it has been like a race between the two of them. Originally, they said that they would be done by... Sign in to see full entry.

Telemarketers...UGH!

One of my least favorite things in life...BUT... My oldest Sister Joan had a need to go back to work after her divorce. She hadn't worked out for years and years and had no up-to-date references for anything having been an at-home wife and mother for years and years. The only things she could get in...
