Hi dear ones, I need to ask for prayers for my friend Bill and his best friend Angela. Angela is battling cancer and is in hospital at the moment due to some sort of blockage. Bill informed me that she is resting well, but they are still awaiting the results of bloodwork. Thank you all. Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you're all doing well. I'm not really well enough to write a whole lot at the moment, but I'll come back full time as soon as I can. I miss you all very much. Sign in to see full entry.

Gosh, has it really been three days since I wrote my last post? Somehow it seems longer than that. Oh, well...never mind. I'm baaack!!!! The heat is still terrible, but as ironic as I know this seems, the edema seems to be very mild lately. I think this is partially due to the fact that I've been... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm happy to report that Margaret has decided to go to the mall with Tricia and Mary tomorrow. That is, providing she wakes up feeling okay in the morning. It'll be good for her to go out and have some fun with someone other than me. We played a few rounds of uno this afternoon. That's the one and... Sign in to see full entry.

Another gorgeous Thursday afternoon. It has been warm all day, and poor Margaret got to roasting so badly that she finally had to turn on the a/c. Marvin was able to slide the filter back into place, thank goodness. Margaret helped me wash my hair today since I can't actually take a shower until... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank goodness. Today has not been a pleasant one at all. The appointment went well, but the fluid refuses to recede, so I'm now stuck having to wear a cast type thingy on and off for the next three weeks to see if that will finally get rid of the edema. If all goes well, I'm hoping we'll be able to... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just been thinking of our old blogit pal Offy. How I miss that sweet lady. I wish I had read more of Maggie Mae's posts. Does anyone here know how Maggie and/or Sally are doing? I miss them both so much. Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here I sit on another Tuesday morning. Margaret and Tricia have gone off to do some of the monthly house shoppping at Walmart, so I have the house to myself for a while. Tomorrow is Wednesday, of course, but I'm not looking forward to it. I have another appointment with Patsy. I hate... Sign in to see full entry.

Did you know?... Mozart had as many dogs as he had children. Five in all, though only one of his sons survived. At the time of his death at the age of thirty five, he was penniless, forcing Contantine and his five year old son to have to move away from their large estate. Sign in to see full entry.

Hello dear ones, I hope you all had a fine weekend. I'm glad you all enjoyed my little riddle! Grandmummy kabu had such fun with it that she has requested yet another one. I must admit that I'm not at all very familiar with any of the great composers, though there are several whose music I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, dear ones, it seems my little charade is over. Grandmummy kabu guessed the correct musician. Mozart was well known for his womanising, and actually had several mistresses during his marriage to his wife, Constantine. Had he not died at the age of thiry five, she would probably have divorced... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, here's another hint, since kabu asked so politely again! Maybe this one will give you all a hint? His father was also a player for the royal court. Good luck! Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, dear! The last thing I wanted to do was to frustrate you all so badly! Grandmummy kabu has politely asked for another hint, so I'll give one...though I'm not certain it will be of much help. He was left-handed, just like me!... Anymore guesses? Sign in to see full entry.

Dear ones, Please join me in praying for those who have been affected by the mass flooding in Russia. Thank you. Sign in to see full entry.

My goodness! It seems as though I really have stumped some of my loyal readers with my post from last night. I hope you won't give up too easily! I'll give you a hint, but just the tiniest one! Wiley John thought perhaps it was Napoleon's wife. Good guess, Poppy, but Napoleon's wife's name was... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's another teaser for you all based on that one-paged assignment from my book. No hints this time though. See if you can guess who I'm talking about. Have fun!... THE MISTRESS I sit amongst the other party guests, watching as once more he thrills us with his enchanting music. More importantly, I... Sign in to see full entry.

What a glorious Friday afternoon we're having. Only trouble is, it's much too hot! We had the windows open last night to let in some of the fresh air, but Margaret had to get up in the middle of the night to close the bedroom window because a skunk came to visit us! Don't get me wrong, I love those... Sign in to see full entry.

Phew! It is WARM here today! Oddly enough, it's also quite overcast. Ah, well...we all know how mother nature works! I hope all my friends here in the U.S. had a very happy and safe holiday yesterday. Ah, ha! The sun has just very suddenly burst through the cloud cover! My beautiful trees seem to be...

This one is again based on the writing exercise from THE DAILY WRITER which asked me to write a one-paged first person account of a famous painting or other piece of art. Music may be a non-visual form of art, but it is art nonetheless. So, in this instance, I have chosen to focus on Beethoven and... Sign in to see full entry.

LOVE AMONG THE BLUEBELLES I awake from my slumber slightly confused. How did I come to this field, so rich with hues of blues and greens? Where am I? Who am I? I reach out and touch a blade of grass, shivering in the early summer breeze. The dark green splatters against my fingertips. I raise myself... Sign in to see full entry.
