About Co-enzyme Q-10

Dr. Oz -- or was it one of his guest medics? -- said we don't need all those bizarre supplements for bones and joints and prevention of hair loss. All we need is a good multi-vitamin and after the age of 50 or so, Co Q-10. I shoulda writ the number, but forgot to or didn't hear a dosage quoted.... Sign in to see full entry.

Found one of my poems from a while back that speaks to me now...

Becoming 4-29-88 I had a home among the stars a cool dark place with an excellent view. Then felt myself minimizing zooming in becoming someone. There's pain now, weariness and I can see so little. Things are so confusing. So many perversions call the creature threaten the spark. Sometimes I go... Sign in to see full entry.

My guys came by yesterday.

Still tying up loose ends, hauling their dad's clothing - some hanging in the closet with the tags still on them - to Goodwill, slowly bringing furniture from the apartment at the senior living facility to store in the garage. They came to bring me the bills and mail that has come in the past few... Sign in to see full entry.

Laughing Babies...

I love laughing babies on YouTube. It's the greatest mood lifter there is to see a baby get tickled over something silly. It's not just the laughing, it's the love of life that blooms and radiates from babies and little kids that brings joy. So Saturday after the memorial service we all gathered at...

Wall-to-wall grandkids & greats...

Friday morning I stopped by the bakery & picked up a bunch of pastries on my way to son Joe's. For the first time in several years he had all of his kids and grandkids under his roof, and it was time to par-ty! When I got there great grandson Ayden (9) was loading up his nerf gun and talking with... Sign in to see full entry.

We're going to have a chilly day today - only 95 degrees...

And the "cold" spell is lasting through Saturday. But the 105 temp. is coming back for Sunday, when all my kids and grandkids will be funneling back to the airport for their return flights. Robin's arriving this afternoon, my son and his partner from Seattle are arriving tomorrow around supper time.... Sign in to see full entry.

Too darn hot!

I was up at two-something for no apparent reason, and went to the door to feel the temperature on the front porch. Ugh! A blast of heat and humidity - had to be 85 degrees and muggy. I keep thinking this hot spell has to end, there has to be rain some time. This odd fact for Wiley: air conditioning... Sign in to see full entry.

Why am I up at 4:30?

It's the old body clock - off again. Before I went gluten-free, I was up "all night" sometimes. I can put my hands on the cleaning tools, the Lysol disenfectant wipes, the controls on the washer, without turning on a light. It's exhausting. A girl could get the blues and turn into a Crabby Appleton... Sign in to see full entry.

Story Design a la Solitaire

After we play hundreds of games of Solitaire we come to recognize how Computer does what she does late in the game to confound us. It boils down to a contest of wills: me against the cold happenstance of the cards falling randomly. Sol is like a force of nature - indifferent to my wants or... Sign in to see full entry.

Into That Good Night

I am so proud of my children, the ordeal they went through, the way they came together to take care of the toughest job humans must do. Their father passed at 12:32 a.m., slipping peacefully away. Son Guy and his youngest brother Steve were there. My daughter tried to phone me, but I didn't hear it... Sign in to see full entry.
