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...

TOP SEED Fun

Football -- I love the fact that our CHIEFS not only clinched a playoff spot in the AFC West Division but they clinched Division and Homefield Advantage in the fight for Super Bowl LVII Champs. That means that we have done really well this year. Of course one needs to keep things in perspective... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Just Perfect

Niece Laurie in Sacramento, CA lives near several streams and creeks, including one directly behind her house, all of which have flooded repeatedly over the last few weeks. She says, "California needs water, we just wish we weren't getting it all at once." As my California Auntie used to say, "It... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Laughing Make A Person Tired?

I'm not much good for anything today. I'm walking around like a tired old lady that doesn't know why she is not sitting down and doesn't know what it was the she was thinking about doing. The only thing I've accomplished so far is to make some chocolate raisin oatmeal cookies for Grandson Phil to... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Things Imagined

I live in an old area of the northland of Kansas City. The Apartment Complex is old though well cared for. The grounds are kept beautifully and it is off of the busy part of the city except for a part of I-35 that runs along the back of the fenced grounds. It is surrounded on three sides by wooded...

Holiday Laughter

We have a wonderful place called Powell Gardens that we love to visit at anytime of the year, but Christmas Season is very fun if one dresses warmly. https://www.facebook.com/574160135/videos/pcb.10166743125955136/1459046614588326 Grandson Peter and his wife took his mother for a visit last evening....

Against All Odds...

I was very impressed by the address of Ukrain's President Zelenskyy to Congress in Washington DC, and if I had been there I would have given him applause along with everyone else. It was his first known trip outside of the Ukrain since the Russian invasion. His way of speaking brought back such... 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.
