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.

The Lord Loves Pitiful People Too

Kansas City Sis was planning to come over to visit today after a time being without her car due to work that needed doing on it--expensive work of course. We were going to get caught up on fun visiting, laughing, nibbling, coffee sipping. I was going to share with her all of the new photograph's of... Sign in to see full entry.

Not In The Mood

This morning while tending to things in my refrigerator I found a big zucchini that needed tending to and was whining pitifully, "Please do something with me. I don't want to rot in here!" That's all well and good, but I wasn't much in the mood for zucchini, but I got on it. After searching out... Sign in to see full entry.

The Changing Times -- 1946

I didn't know Eleanor until she was a man. That's when I became confused because as far as I knew Eleanor was a woman's name. "Why?" I asked myself did a man have a woman's name? When I was nine, I found out that I was totally confused because people spoke of Eleanor as "She"....and they did speak... Sign in to see full entry.

November Song

Tomorrow love flies into Kansas City aboard a flight from Baltimore...family love...camaraderie, hugging, laughing, sharing, sisterly stuff, family news, silliness mixed with sadness of missing some who will not be there to meet and greet and share. Yes, that's the way life goes for everyone as... Sign in to see full entry.

No CHIEFS Game Today

Our week to pass and I'm having trouble getting used to that...It is time for the game to start as usual, P.D. and Phil are not here to enjoy a game with me. I am glad that the CHIEFS are in first place in the AFC West but it feels like we should be out there running with the ball and knocking each... 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.
