The Perplexities Of Aging

Son P.D. and I got into a discussion about the Super Bowl and ended up in a disagreement about the time for the Fly Over in Kansas City time where we will be watching it, as opposed to the time it would be in Arizona time. We could not come to an agreement because Arizona does not have DST (daylight... Sign in to see full entry.

The Humdrum Conundrum

Where does the money go? When I was a teen, my Dad taught me to budget, to tithe, to save, and to spend within my means without borrowing. When I married I found that my Mother-in-Law had done a good job of teaching my new husband the same things and he, in turn, impressed those things on our sons.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hobbling And Wobbling I Am

The cold is getting to me. Hobbling with a painful knee has begun to cause me wobbling with a painful crick in my back. It seems to me it's awfully cold in this part of town. The furnace seems to be at work full tilt without respite, for which I am thankful, and people passing by outside are dressed... Sign in to see full entry.

Does This Mean I'm Getting Old?

The winter weather, or something akin to it, is making me feel old in some type of chain reaction in my body. It began a couple of weeks ago in my right knee that began to jab me now and then when I walked. It has gradually moved upward from my knee to jabbing pains in my upper leg from knee to...

I Feel Like I'm Pippa

This is a beautiful day and it is passing by too quickly. Time never drags for me. There are too many things about each day that I just love. It is difficult to pack in what I like without leaving undone some things that I ought to be doing. P.D. brought me half of the breast of a large turkey that... Sign in to see full entry.

Can You Believe It?

For some time, my Florida son and his family have been struggling with having their kitchen completely redone and have lived with the mess. It has been so much like what Kabu has been going through that it has been like a race between the two of them. Originally, they said that they would be done by... Sign in to see full entry.

Telemarketers...UGH!

One of my least favorite things in life...BUT... My oldest Sister Joan had a need to go back to work after her divorce. She hadn't worked out for years and years and had no up-to-date references for anything having been an at-home wife and mother for years and years. The only things she could get in...

TOP SEED Fun

Football -- I love the fact that our CHIEFS not only clinched a playoff spot in the AFC West Division but they clinched Division and Homefield Advantage in the fight for Super Bowl LVII Champs. That means that we have done really well this year. Of course one needs to keep things in perspective... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Just Perfect

Niece Laurie in Sacramento, CA lives near several streams and creeks, including one directly behind her house, all of which have flooded repeatedly over the last few weeks. She says, "California needs water, we just wish we weren't getting it all at once." As my California Auntie used to say, "It... Sign in to see full entry.

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.

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.
