Does Laughing Make A Person Tired?

I'm not much good for anything today. I'm walking around like a tired old lady that doesn't know why she is not sitting down and doesn't know what it was the she was thinking about doing. The only thing I've accomplished so far is to make some chocolate raisin oatmeal cookies for Grandson Phil to... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Things Imagined

I live in an old area of the northland of Kansas City. The Apartment Complex is old though well cared for. The grounds are kept beautifully and it is off of the busy part of the city except for a part of I-35 that runs along the back of the fenced grounds. It is surrounded on three sides by wooded...

Holiday Laughter

We have a wonderful place called Powell Gardens that we love to visit at anytime of the year, but Christmas Season is very fun if one dresses warmly. https://www.facebook.com/574160135/videos/pcb.10166743125955136/1459046614588326 Grandson Peter and his wife took his mother for a visit last evening....

Against All Odds...

I was very impressed by the address of Ukrain's President Zelenskyy to Congress in Washington DC, and if I had been there I would have given him applause along with everyone else. It was his first known trip outside of the Ukrain since the Russian invasion. His way of speaking brought back such... Sign in to see full entry.

Pull The Cover Over Your Head

So, today I have things to do that I should have done yesterday. And, yesterday I had things to do that I should have done before that. I just get behinder and behinder, and have things to do that I'm sure will never get done. Are my expectations of myself too high, or am I just a lazy bugger? Now,... Sign in to see full entry.

Who's This Man?

Something got me wondering what one of my nephew's middle name is and I found I could not pull it out of the memory site of my brain. I could have gone searching through the Family Bible or a book I have kept for that purpose, but, it is so much easier just to e-mail Sis in Maryland. Being nearly... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day

Having been born in 1903, by the time the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, my Dad was well into his schooling years, and a common school subject in those days was the building of the Panama Canal, how it was going, the problems involved, malaria, the hard work, the very little pay, the workers...

Quickly Passes ... Everything

The days are short. Laughing, singing, nibbling, visiting, writing, reading a good book,.....makes them so. The more I am enjoying myself, the faster they go. As you already know, December is here. It will go quickly and we will begin another year. But, there are lovely people whose time passes... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter Is Upon Us

Even though winter is not officially here yet, not for weeks, the weather ups and downs are effecting everyone I know in one way or another, especially everyone around my age. I dug out my walker that Florida Son bought me when I turned 80, just in case I needed it. I knew it would not help me in my... Sign in to see full entry.

Police Can't Do Anything

This is kind of a continuation on yesterdays post about Sis's car. This the second time that she has had the problem of someone breaking into her car and trying to steal it. Both the car from several years back and the much newer one are/were Hyundais. When the policeman was there taking the report,... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
