I hate it when people do things like that.... The Pioneer Woman, a life-size, bronze statue of a pioneer woman in a calico dress and sunbonnet, carrying a child in one arm and a bucket in the other, was sculpted by Juan Lombardo-Revera of Mexico City, Mexico, twenty+ years ago. It was mounted on a...

Makes One Wonder
Great-grand-baby, Marianna practicing her Angry Lego Face. I guess you've read that, for some reason, over the last 24 years, the Lego toys have pretty much been changed over to angry faces, grim faces, snide faces, increasingly furious faces, sad, disgusted faces. The happy faced Lego people are...

Bugger On The Dial?
All he wanted from his father's estate was the old Westminster mantle chime clock that had belonged to his Great-Auntie Evva. When he received it, after his Dad passed away from a sudden and major cerebrovascular accident, he was surprised to find that his dad had not kept it in good condition. The...

Great Weekend Happenings
Father's Day weekend and father gets a rest from the bar-be-que grill. There is not much I can say about fathers that hasn't already been said by someone else, or previously by myself. In the father department I don't have any complaints. And boy could I tell you some fun stories, some funny ones,...

Phil's Back
Don't you just hate it when you drip a drop of greasy stuff on a pretty blue shirt that you just put on. There's nothing worse than a drop of grease to ruin an outfit, especially a blue one. That's what I get for having toasted sourdough bread with too much butter on it for breakfast. I should have...

Several Days Away
This is a day for freezing Reece's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups before opening them and popping them into your mouth.. Otherwise one will have to do a lot of finger licking to remove the melted chocolate from the fingers. It is one of those days where I don't really need, or want the A/C on because...

Loblolly Night
I made myself go two places today, places that I put off as long as I can. Where Son and I live is a nice place, and I like it a lot, and have no desire to move. But, the one thing I do not like about this apartment complex is that I do not have laundry facilities in our living space. There are two...

Infected By Fear?
If the secret surveillance of all my communications are being carried on by the NSA or the justice department of the U.S. government, someone is going to be awfully bored with what they find. I suppose that I am one of the over-280 million U.S. citizens in the NSA databases. Surely I am one of the...

Day Day
It's been a long day. It started out when the clock struck twelve midnight as D-1. By now I'm afraid it's already D-one hour and twenty minutes. I'm talking D-Day, or rather the remembrance of it. June 6, 1944 when Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy during World War II. I was a little...

I'm Not That Person Anymore
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.” ~ Nelson Mandela I went back today, back in time, back to February of 2004. I traveled in my thoughts, in my memories, in my emotions to that far-away time.... After spending some...
