Good Grief Granny...

.....It has been more that five months since I moved into my present home, and all of this time has been spent without being able to order anything by internet to be delivered to me because whenever I thought to do that I couldn't figure out how to change the address and telephone numbers to my new...

Something Fierce Was Being Cooked...

.....I was in front of the mirror in the bathroom for quite some time trying to do something with my old lady hair which is whiter, and thinner, and longer than it has been in a long time. After washing it and drying it with a blow dryer, it is impossible to control without leaving a few bald places... Sign in to see full entry.

No! No! No!

A dark and dreary night on Halloween it was this year. The fallen leaves all crunchy and dry were making sounds as I walked among them trying to get back to my door and get back in. I had my key ready, but I was not quick enough. My back to the unlocked door and he came toward me looking like a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Afraid That I Am...

.....a loafer in my old age. I was such a "go-getter" when I was young, especially when my four sons were growing up. That was such a fun time. But now I am a wastrel of time and talent and money and anything else that takes time. This beautiful fall time I get up, make me a cup of coffee and sit in... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Anyone My Age Remember...

.....how to do Algebra problems? It has been so long ago since I needed to know and now....now I have put my foot in my mouth and can't get it out. My youngest granddaughter is in her last year of high school and she loves all the extracurricular stuff, but isn't too hep on the classes that take... Sign in to see full entry.

The Way It Goes For Old People...

.....I was doing so good, working so hard at getting ready to move, packing, moving in, unpacking and putting things in their places. I was going strong and thinking that everything would be hunkey dorey from here on out. But suddenly.... Suddenly, just when everything was going good,....suddenly,... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Old Turkey Buzzard After Me?

.... Just today with Son, driving down the road near where I live, there was one of these walking down the road like he owned it. I'm glad I was not out for a walk by myself. I've never seen anything like that except in old Western movies. Sign in to see full entry.

Spring Allergies and Cinco De Mayo...

.....I was never a person to be bothered by allergies even though there were family members with that problem, but this year allergy season has hit me hard. By that, I mean that my whole face and head and chest hurts. From my boobs on down, everything is status quo. The worst of it began four days... Sign in to see full entry.

Tornado Time Is Here In Tornado Alley

All my life I have lived in Tornado Alley....I probably always will. As a child I hated going to the basement for protection. In those days, basements were not the most pleasant place to be and to sit down in that dreary place awaiting destruction was a really horrible experience for a child. In our...

Eighty-Four More Books...I Should Live So Long...

.....I've never known what to call him, except "Chris". He is not really my son-in-law though that's what I introduce him as. In reality, he is the husband of my daughter-in-law. Is she still my daughter-in-law even though my Son David died thirty-six years ago? We still have that same bond and... 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.
