What Do I Do With This?

Grandson Phil is a very good worker. There are just not very many things it has been found that he has the capability of doing. But, when he understands his job, he does it surprisingly well. He is the official picker upper and putter of things in their places at his house, both inside and out. He... Sign in to see full entry.

EXASPERATING

LATE AGAIN! "No concept of time," you always give for an excuse, with a nonchalance impervious to criticism, not caring that another may need to meet a deadline, or keep an appointment, might miss an opportunity that knocks only once. Blood pressure rising, and you don't even see, or care, that... Sign in to see full entry.

Strange People

Clean = Order = Control. She was a clean freak. Everything in her house was in order.... to the nth degree. She couldn't stand it that I was not impressed. She always knew if I had dust under my beds. How did she know? She got down on her knees, and looked. She made a big to-do about a few dishes... Sign in to see full entry.

A FRONT SEAT ON LIFE is almost as good as being on stage. On stage is where some live their lives to the very end, but not many. (Betty White is a good example; everybody loves Betty White.) Have you been "kicked" off stage? Having trouble holding your front seat? You're not alone. A front seat on... Sign in to see full entry.

Old Romance

Start the music. I would say, now lean back and close your eyes, but if you did you wouldn't be able to read what I say next. “You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.” Once you hear that person's song, it never...

It's A Gift

I love Today! Today is a gift...a wonderful gift. It is the very best gift that I have, for every gift besides today, is incorporated into this very special gift of today. I am thankful for the gift of today. I am grateful for its beauty of sunshine, and blue skies, of flowers, of children laughing... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Don't Do It!

Never, never, never, drive into standing water on a road. Take time to detour. Bad things happen very quickly sometime: She is an adult now, but she never knew her mother. My sons' cousin on their Dad's side, twenty years, or so, ago went out to do some shopping one rainy evening. She left baby girl... Sign in to see full entry.

Perhaps...

"Perhaps they could be donated.".., such an unimaginative response to an attempt to have creative thoughts. I can't believe I get this response from someone every time I have the least urge to do something artsy, have a little fun along the creative line. Surely, by now everyone, just everyone,...

I Tried

I can't believe how horrible I was at interior decorating When I was young and hubby and I bought our house. I was 22 and he was 24 and we had no children yet, and here was a big two and a half story, turn-of-the-century house with full basement, wrap-around porch, big yard, and we had no idea what...
