Was She Referring To The Coronavirus Pandemic
Helen Keller passed away in 1968, more than 50 years ago, but today I read a quotation from her that made me think she knew it was coming. "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold." - Helen Keller I had been racking my brain...

How Long Will It Be?
Went out and swept the porch in the sunshine and fresh air. It felt so good. Then I used the wipes on all of the doorknobs inside and out all over the place. Now they are saying that everyone should be wearing a mask. I don't have any of them. I will have to dig out my cowboy-type red bandanna and...

Something Different For Me
I had never had a Doctor's appointment by telephone before. If it were not for our State of Missouri having a Shelter-at-Home order for several weeks now due to coronavirus, I would not have had this one.

She's a beauty my sweet and lovely granddaughter. She is a nurse at a hospital in Florida in the greater Orlando area. She is everything one would expect in a caring nurse--a great smile, long blond shiny hair, a physical shape to die for, gentle hands to bring comfort. But, the patients are not...

It Just Gets More Insane Every Day
Today at our apartment complex notes were fastened to each door giving instructions about showing up at the office for anything in the coming weeks. Until now everyone has been encouraged to be neighborly, visit often, sit in the lounge, have coffee and cookies, they even had an Easter waffle...

The Changing of The Watch
The first day of Spring is here. "The time of the singing of birds has come" The greening of the grass hastened to meet the date and the maple tree in front of my window is covered with little bitty red flowers that soon will turn into little "helicopters" and fill the air with their unique...

Putting Self-Isolation To Good Use
For a hundred years it seems, though in reality perhaps a quarter of that, I've had in my possession two sturdy white oak book shelves that reach high above my head, each six shelves tall plus space at the top for a conglomeration added through the years. Long ago I gave up knowing where things were...
