The Changing Times -- 1946

I didn't know Eleanor until she was a man. That's when I became confused because as far as I knew Eleanor was a woman's name. "Why?" I asked myself did a man have a woman's name? When I was nine, I found out that I was totally confused because people spoke of Eleanor as "She"....and they did speak... Sign in to see full entry.

November Song

Tomorrow love flies into Kansas City aboard a flight from Baltimore...family love...camaraderie, hugging, laughing, sharing, sisterly stuff, family news, silliness mixed with sadness of missing some who will not be there to meet and greet and share. Yes, that's the way life goes for everyone as... Sign in to see full entry.

No CHIEFS Game Today

Our week to pass and I'm having trouble getting used to that...It is time for the game to start as usual, P.D. and Phil are not here to enjoy a game with me. I am glad that the CHIEFS are in first place in the AFC West but it feels like we should be out there running with the ball and knocking each... Sign in to see full entry.

Respect For My Daughter-In-Law

It never ceases to amaze me that after 85 years, the amount of stuff that I do not know just keeps growing as I age. You would think that I would have run out of things to learn by now. Not so. When I went to my very first school so many years ago, the emphasis was on reading, writing and arithmetic... Sign in to see full entry.

Now That It's Time To Get Up, I'm Finally Getting Sleepy

I don't know why....well I might have an idea, but I've been wide awake all night long. I tried going to bed at regular time and was wide awake as a scared rabbit so I got back up. I tried it again about three hours later after reading a book and messing around but I still could not go to sleep. So,... Sign in to see full entry.

Straw For A Brain

Trying to write a Blogit Post is, for me these days, like competing with the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz for brains. I can flap my arms, sing, dance a little jig...but when I attempt to write, I sit before the laptop and stare at it like I'm waiting for it to tell me what to do next. Even going...

A Scam You Say?

Beguiling eyes, deep, so sincere, persuading me--until I say "NO". It's someone that scams the elderly out of their savings. It's a dishonest fellow telling me so sincerely that my car needs a major job done on it. It's a person trying to make a quick profit at someone else's expense. It's that...

It's Morning...At Least The Clock Says So

My eyes are awake, and so is my brain, but my body is hard put to follow their lead. So, I push back my covers and while on my back do some leg lifts and some other movements that should strengthen something, slowly moving to a sitting position on the side of the bed and sit there to make sure I've...

Surprise, Surprise

Last evening, via Facebook Messenger I began a communication with one of my great-nieces and her husband that live half-way across the US. He was studying through genealogies and ran into this photo that is part of my historical family. The standing female farthest to the left is my Oklahoma... 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.
