Family drama... well... maybe

It seems it has been a dramatic week among my grandsons. The younger one, 14 or so, has declared to the family that he is, in fact, she. Has always been, and now wants everyone to know it. It is no big surprise, though for some time now, we have suspected this kid leaned toward gayness. In any case, it is not hard to believe nor to accept, because that's the kind of family we are. The older one, 16, has this same week declared to his family that he is gay. There have never been signs of that...... Sign in to see full entry.

TWO little children...

No, FIVE little children... That makes... SEVEN LITTLE CHILDREN! Seven little children came to my door! I asked them if they came to give me candy... They agreed I had it wrong... So I gave out ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN! little pieces of candy! Wahahahaha...! Sign in to see full entry.

I replenished the bird feeders

--two of those flat dishes made for under flower pots--and now there are a dozen house finches and sparrows leaping and ducking and filling their crops on this cool morning. There are a few peanuts stuck in the mounds of seeds, too, for the jays and the shy squirrel that sometimes stops by, but he is nowhere near as trusting as Madame was. I miss her daily visits. I stocked a little treasure chest sort of box with Heath bars, Mounds bars, and Reese's peanutbutter cups. All my favorites, in case... Sign in to see full entry.

I looked in the mirror this morning, and knew it was Halloween...

If I leave my hair the way I found it, it will definitely scare the kiddies who might come to the door! I know not everyone who visits here, visits my other 4 blogs, so in case you missed it: http://todaysvisions.com/the-haunted-venues/?utm_content=buffer7fe1c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer Charlie was provided with the bare bones (so to speak) of the script, and added his voice and a few ad libbed special effects. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Sign in to see full entry.

A day of accomplishment

For several days I have been out of one of my meds, the one for the diabetes. Getting it refilled--well, I realized I needed to deal with it more than a week ago, but here I am in Colorado, having been prescribed this stuff by a doctor here during the 90 day guest membership, this health provider having a reciprical arrangement with mine back in Washington. The 90 days were up in early September, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to go through these folks again. Would I have to contact the Washington... Sign in to see full entry.

a lowering sky

That's what it's been today: no mountains, just a heavy layer in greys light and dark hovering over the world. Temperatures today are around 30F cooler than yesterday, and it looks... ominous! I smell snow on the air. Well, it is only days away from halloween. I suppose I should invest in some treats or rig up some tricks. The day has gone into reading another indie book for review--at least, at last I found one I can give higher than average marks--and calling around in search of a vet clinic I...

A little overnight breeze...

and the beautiful golden tree by my deck is starkers! Every seasonal change has its benefits: Now I can see the mountain unobstructed by the abundance of leaves on that tree. I can feel the building energy towards family holidays, and the coming snows. I can't help it, I like snow... I like it falling magically even at the end of the winter when I am tired of it on the ground. This morning, the green lawn across the street is all gone to golden brown, under the blanket of the leaves that... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here it is...

http://maglomaniac.com/heat-episode-1/ and here's hoping the link works! In other news... A couple of years ago, we started welcoming a lovely though a little weathered, long-haired black kitty to the house in Olympia. The established cats had no use for him, but I couldn't resist how he adored being petted! He came and went as he was inclined... I called him Mojo. This week, Charlie's dad had to take Mojo to the vet. It was discovered that Mojo is chipped. He has returned to the home he left 3... Sign in to see full entry.

I sigh...

In the past couple of weeks I have signed on to both Facebook and Twitter. It's embarrassing, but my writing jobs are requiring it, the use of social media to promote the work. They both present a torrent of information, and though you can be somewhat selective what comes down the chute, there is always more and more, and a lot that you really can't care about, or give brain-space. The thing is, there are some also very interesting things that happen, that come before your eyes and... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I'm doubtful the events of my life will be of great general interest, but I'd like to share a little more of me to the several of you on Blogit I've come to feel are real friends, and the many I imagine are potentially real friends. We'll see how it works out. ______________________ all my words and images posted on Blogit are copyright 2005-present, all rights reserved.
