Mornings sitting here I breathe, and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/899837I HAVEN'T CHECKED THE FIGURES....I'LL LEAVE THAT TO MY LIBERAL FRIENDS; BUT, IF YOU CHALLENGE THEM, PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SOURCES. I DIDN'T CHECK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME....I KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT. I'M POSTING IT FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT NEVER WATCH "THE OTHER SIDE" BECAUSE...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/897653At this moment, I am laughing myself crazy, watching a special by James Cordon....he is so funny I've changed my pants twice - kidding, but they've been close calls! I never cease to be amazed at his creativity. I will no longer get to watch "The Late Show with James Cordon" (CBS), due to the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/896957I just saw something I wanted to share..... Per Richard Gere: None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your heart like hidden treasure....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/893775The clock struck four When I was coming through the door, And I looked over at the last pew And saw empty seats, at least a few. Quickly I scurried around the end and stood As close to the end of the far wall as I could, So I could make an exit when this ended And people began to leave, sins...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/893085Needlework is the common thread running through generations of women on both sides of my family tree. In days of old, it clothed their families and covered the surfaces in their homes, and met the various utility needs that a cloth, needle and thread can provide to a household….even sewing the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/891671The butter knife was in a box of my father’s mother’s taped up bits of life Packed away in the corner in a storage room, who knows when or why. But then in just a moment, I smiled and picked up the tarnished butter knife And really thought about Grandmother like I hadn’t in a very long time. I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/891009And what can a woman alone do….when the music calls to her memories? And she drops her head back against the chair……. and closes her eyes, To let the present fall away……let reality dissolve, with the stress it carries; And go to a world where the senses rule, and pleasure makes worries fly....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Krisles2099/890278I swim in secret waters, but I’ve let you wade in, eyes closed For my waters are mine alone to discover, my world to explore…..
