AFTER THE MOVE

I am finally beginning to see the living area floor beneath the multitude of banker boxes piled here, there, and everywhere. Trying to fit a 10 station office into one room requires much planning, shifting...and a short, easily portable step ladder! With desks and filing cabinets and MORE boxes...

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS...

My 3 Rug rats in a favorite place...M'mère's jaccuzi!! While I was at the office yesterday, the supplier dumped a load of firewood in front of my garage. The delivery is late. It had been scheduled at least two months ago, so that I would have plenty of time to bring it in before winter. The... Sign in to see full entry.

INTRODUCING...SMILES!

My sweet sis-in-law, Lori. Look at that SMILE! The last foster home was a dilly! When we had first arrived there, the lady told me that God had not seen fit to bless her with a child; both Bird and I were soon to find out why. After a few months of her tyranny, we started fighting back – as well as... Sign in to see full entry.

GO, GRANNY, GO!

Photo courtesy of Photocucket “We’re going on the trip. I called Yo and booked it.” My daughter stirred milk into her café crema as she spoke. She had stopped by to cut her son’s (my tenant grandson) hair, and came upstairs to chat for a few minutes before leaving. “So you managed to book that week... Sign in to see full entry.

A FRAUD?

Yesterday the sunrise; today the sunset over my mountain It was a wicked day yesterday, for more than one reason. Rush hour was horrendous. Fortunately, I had already covered that area on the auto route BEFORE the truck dumped his load of bricks all over the road, resulting in more than one flat... Sign in to see full entry.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICES

A 'TAPS' inspired photo of sunrise at home...Bird & I watched it Not wanting to waste time commuting, I worked from home yesterday. However, Line & I needed to talk before I initiated the procedures that would move the office, so I sent her a text inquiring if she was in the city. Yes, she replied,... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BOXES

Tao, my youngest rug rat I spent the day yesterday going through boxes, and boxes, and boxes which have been piled in my garage since Bird moved in with me this summer. Today his lady friend will stop by to pick up what he wanted her to have. I have not been able to reach the young man who was to... Sign in to see full entry.

HEALING

Bird's moon, from his own camera I can’t listen to his music yet….but I will…eventually. It was our home base, his music. He burned CD after CD of my favorite tunes – older ones I had forgotten – until I heard them again. I would know all the words – I could sing along, or, as he called it, make a...

BIRD - HIS SIGN

My son, Bow, sat at his uncle Bird’s side and promised him that he would look out for me. Bird tightly squeezed his nephew’s hand – he had heard and understood. Even more important, he trusted that Bow would do as promised. Within a few minutes of my son’s departure, on October 14 th, at 2:05 AM, my... Sign in to see full entry.
