Lease-Signing Time Again

Eleven long pages of tiny print Legalese has been waiting for me to carefully peruse it and sign on the dotted line. I have been putting it off, waiting for a convenient time to sit down and read this thing comprised of law jargon and considered by this lay person to be difficult to understand. Son...

Ah...Comfort

Thanksgiving was fun, but it wore me out. After I get recuperated from the effort, I will get back to seeing what everyone else has been doing here. Right now, and all day long, I have been good for nothing at all. The day after Thanksgiving, I am most thankful and grateful that I don't have to do... Sign in to see full entry.

While I Napped

The mornings here are pretty cold these days. One must learn to dress warmer. I haven't quite gotten used to the idea that I need a jacket when I go out. What happened to summer. I think it must have fizzled out while I was taking a nap. Grandson Michael is home for Thanksgiving from the Army. He is... Sign in to see full entry.

Hard Work

There are a lot of Kansas Citians worn out from "arm chopping", myself included, but as hard as we worked at it, apparently we didn't chop hard enough. A heart-breaking late-game defeat of the CHIEFS by the CHARGERS was as chilling as the weather which remained below freezing all day. I stayed home... Sign in to see full entry.

Any Wig People Out There?

It's good to have hot tea on a cold day, after a short walk. Can you believe I saw a man walking barefoot? I said, "How are you on this fine day?" and he answered, "I have to buy me some shoes before winter comes." Then he grinned like an idiot. He had on a warm hoodie jacket and nice Levi's and...

He Who Bags The Buck...

A rainy day in KC.....rainy, cold, blustery, talk of snow coming, complaints of aching bones, sniffling noses, but I love it. I didn't even know it was going to rain last night, but about 2:00 a.m. I suddenly heard water pouring. I just had to get out of bed and go look out the window. It was really...

Nothing In Particular

The inside of the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts is as unusual as is the outside of it. It would have been nice if the elevator from the parking garage had not been out. After climbing two long flights from the garage, and then the long curving flight of stairs to the high seats in the unusual... Sign in to see full entry.

Family Fun

A big family that keeps in touch and shares hugs in person or by internet ((((HUGS)))) along with bits of news and fun pictures, knocks at the door, with empathies and prayers and laughs and helps with problems--that's the way to go....that's what I've always had. Never a dull moment, or a feeling... Sign in to see full entry.

Just For Me

I can't believe my tree out front is still so loaded with beautiful red leaves after all the rain and wind we have had the last two days. I just love it. I think it is showing off just for me. It makes me feel good just to look out the window at it. It is the prettiest one around. Sign in to see full entry.
