2007

Happy New Year! I don't make resolutions but I want to be a better person this coming year. I don't want to make the same mistakes again. I'm not anywhere near perfect-no one else is either; but I can be better. There are so many examples around me.
I hope you all have a happy healthy new year. God Bless.

Gerald R. Ford Good Bye

Tonight there was a funeral in the capital of this country. It was for our 38th President. He became president not by election but by need. I can remember what it was like in the U.S. then andit wasn't good. The job he did for this country was to get us together and to forgive. He did that and he stands out for his civility. I thank God for giving us this man.
He is lying in state for tonight and there will be services in Michigan on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Battle of the soups

The bean soup turned out great. The pea soup left alot to be desired.I showed why I don't make much pea soup. I took a bowl of the bean soup next door to my elderly neighbors. I didn't share the pea soup. If I don't like it I wont share it. Today I had to cook up some hamburger so I made a cheese burger meat loaf. It went well. It is a good thing I live along since I don't always follow a rescipe. I know how to follow but I get the proportions and then I do my thing. I can go from a premade mundane meal to some concoction that I made up. I guess I have to have some adventure in my life.

Bean or Green Pea

That is what I will do tomorrow. I hope to get 2 pots of soup done. I had to go up to get my Rxs so I stop at store to get the beans and peas. I can't wait. I would start the pea soup now but I am short of storage places and I don't want to put it outside with all the cats running around out side. I wont share my soup ,at least not with those cats. Snow covered views are #1 but soup is a close second for the good things about winter.

Survive?

Well I made it thru another Christmas. I believe in the reason for the season but since I don't have little ones near by the Santa bit leaves me cold. I am not a Scrooge but I don't want gifts. I give what I can but thats it. I want to hear from my sons-that is gift enough.
I fixed what I liked to eat, ate when I wanted and did what I wanted during the day. Afternoon naps arn't bad. I have always felt that it is a family holiday and if you can't be with your family you don't go to someone elses. I had many well meaning invites but I said no.
I sometimes feel that my social graces are lacking since I have lived alone for so many years.

Season's greetings

May you all have a Merry Chtistmas! May the "reason" for this season keep you safe and healthy. God Bless

Emotions

I am having a problem that has me up set and I won't blog for while. Since I am not the only one involved I have to stop.
I don't want my blog used to air hurts. I am sure I will miss it. God Bless!

Little Humor

After the election I feel safe telling this one. You can change the party names if you must. One morning in late October President Bush was out running when he came upon a boy sitting by anoisy box. President Bush asked what the boy had in the box and the boy said "republicans". President looked at the puppies and smiled. Two weeks later he was with the vice president running and they saw the boy again. President Bush stopped and asked the boy what was in the box? The boy said "demacrats". Bush said "I thought you said they were republicans." The boy looked up and said,"Now they have their eyes open"

Thanksgiving

Just want to wish you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. There isn't anyone that can't find something to be thankful for.
But remember there are people that have needs; don't forget the least of these.

Hunting

I live close to the Michigan border. Their hunting season started yesterday and Wisconsin's starts Saturday. Traffic has started and people are coming into town. This will be a busy place till the season ends. Tomorrow afternoon it will be bumper to bumper traffic. Schools close early to get the busses off the road early. Our two block downtown will be packed.
It is a good time to stay home.

Still Here

I made it through the week end. Then on Tuesday I had my "Lunch with the bunch" date. Well almost, it is second tuesday of the month at 12 noon. My ex boss and girl from work and once in a while a couple more girls from work join us. This week my friend had made a time to be with her daughter. Lately they haven't had much time togetherand she hadgotten the day mixed up. Oh well I will meet my boss myself. I got to the restaurent right at 12. No Carolyn. So I waited until 12:30 then called to leave message that I waited but had to leave. When she answered the phone I started to laugh because after years she had forgotten also. She said she would be right there and I could order for her. The two of us had a nice lunch. Now I have been retired 13 years in December but we have kept in touch all this time. As you can tell it was a good working relationship. Today I went to the other girl's house and visited her. She has cancer and gets tired of sitting in the house.
So my lunch with the bunch took a couple of days.

Four Generation Weekend

My son,my grandson and my two greatgrand sons are here until Sunday. Winter also showed up with 5" of wet snow so we stayed in the house until walking to a place for fish fry. Main street plowed but not the side streets so my car isn't moving. Too many cars were in the ditches around here. Tomorrow it may be better and we will be able to travel.

Veterans Day

For us it is November 11. At my age I can remember many wars and many veterans coming home and many not coming home. In the second world war I saw truck loads of prisoners of war going to camps in Milwaukee area. I remember how young they looked. I later had a girl friend that was German and was a young girl in Germany during the war. You get a
different look of how things were. During the Korean War I watched a troop transport going thru the Panama Canal loaded with troops going to Korea. They were chained inside their baracks the night before they left. The bridge over the Miraflores Locks was jammed with people waiting for one last good bye. No traffic was moving. The bridge was filled with people.
The troops were on deck in ODs -winter uniforms- not what you wear in Panama. These are an old ladies memories.
Oh I know Vietnam and all the rest and I know a few young men in Iraq but I give the old memories just to make people think
WHY HAVEN'T WE LEARNED? Don't ever forget and don't ever look down at a veteran. They should get our respect and our thanks.

Latest News

Well after all the politics and the ads on TV we lost an honest and upright newsman today. I respected him and his reports.
He was on 60 Minutes for 25 years. He was Ed Bradley. Some are more famous or infamous but respected thats the question.

VOTE

I got to the polls and voted before 8 this morning. In Wisconsin we have some questions that needed people to vote on.
We also had close political races and a write end race. If you want the world to go down hill even more don't vote. But why wouldn't any sensible person not vote. As a care giver I once help some one to vote. As it turned out her vote and my vote canceled each out BUT she was allowed to vote her heart and I voted mine. Speak your mind don't let the next person speak for you. Every vote IS important and one can make a difference.

Football

As a mother of boys now men I watch a great deal of sports. Today I watched part of the Wisconsin-Penn. State game.
At the end of the first half Wisconsin took off a great number of seconds off the clock by going off side and did that twice in a row so you knew it was not an accident but a planned play. There is a loop hole with a new rule on the kickoff after a score; it changed when the clock starts to run and Wisconsin gave the ball to Penn State with so few seconds they couldn't do anything. Joe P. Penn's coach was so upset and Wisconsin coach just smiled. The young coach had seen the loop hole and used it. Joe P. was livid and the side line judge was given an ear ful. I guess the thing that bothered me was that smile on Wisconsins coach. He called legal plays but did he have to gloat?

Life and living it

This has been a down day with sad things happening to friends and people I love. BUT !!!!!!! God gave me this day and I can't spend it crying. I done some today but enough! I am alive-my house is warm. My cupboards have food. I don't quite understand how the bad things seem to be overwhelming me. I am surprised that the Lord hasn't slapped me down for not
getting it. HE loves me and is taking care of me. He wants me to be there for the people around me with problems and not to think about the problems. So now I will send a card to a friend I just found out yesterday had a double mastectomy. I gave some food to someone who needed it. I spent time with another friend. I told God I was sorry for getting so sad. I just better be worthy of God's goodness to me.

Cancer

Well another friend has cancer. Am I the only one that thinks there is alot more around now? Is it because there are more tests or is it because we are living longer. I know that we all must take care of ourselves and our families.

I'm Here

I am still around but the mind is giving me fits. My emotions are getting the best of me. My children are not perfect and they can anger me. They are all adults and don't live with me BUT I still want them to do things. When they were young I had a chance to change their actions. I could tell them all how to live but thats wrong. I am no expert. They all have a life and seeing the youngest is 40 where do I get off thinking I can change them.
Once aMother always a Mother.

Attitude Ajustment

I haven't posted because I find myself needing an attitude ajustment. I hope it comes soon because I don't like my mind set right now. My having a "pity party" or an anger just doesn't fit in my blog.

Beta blog

I tried to set up a beta blog and had nothing but trouble. I tried so I could keep in touch with someone who invited me to their new blog. I may try later in week but for now I have had enough frustration.

A little humor

I just feel a need for a little humor tonight.
Ann thought she was the moral watchdog for her church. She would say what she thought loud and long. People were afraid to say anything to her after she talked. She came up to Sam in a crowd and said he was an alcoholic and she had seen his pickup parked outside the town's one bar. Sam looked at her didn't say a word. Turned an walked out of the church while she said everyone knows what you did in there. Later that night Sam parked his pickup in front of Ann's house and walked home.

I Hate Cancer

My friend was taken off of weekly chemo treatments that she has been on for the last year and put on a pill. The chemo wasn't making a difference so we will see how she does on this pill. While sitting in the waiting room at cancer clinic I saw another friend from work. She said she was doing good. I didnt know she had it. Tonight I received a call from someone I know and they might have it. Makes you wonder.

Worry Wort

Well I had my long awaited appointment with the doctor. I am quite pleased with the results and most of my worries are put to rest. I just have to get the results from the mammo. I didn't drop any of my pills but he didn't add any since I said I would go with Tylenol. If a spell happens again I am to let him know but he feels they can be prevented with me doing things he told me.

Politics

TV ads,mail ads and now Voice Mail ads. I will be so happy when election day has come and gone. All the money spent could really do some good. I wish they would limit the time spent on running for office. Lets get back to people going out and meeting people and explaining your views. Thiscountry isn't better now with all the long campaigns.

Road work

I have gotten to drive this week at request of people that weren't feeling well. My friend with cancer wanted to get out of the house so I said fine. We went for a color tour checking all the trees and Lake Michigan. We went in the UP of Michigan and the northern part of Wisconsin. We did a couple hundred miles. When I came home my neighbor came over and I ended going up to get a prescription filled for her. Today my friend (believe or not another one) called and asked if I could take her up to see a doctor. This trip took four hours.
I was available nothing in my home was as important as their requests. I am so thankful that I can do this. I feel that if you can help someone you should. God has given me this as a mission. If you know some one needs a hand offer yours.
God will bless you for it.
Sometimes people need more than your prayers. Mentioning their name while you pray is right but sometimes it needs to be folowed up with help from you. God can answer prayer but he uses you to drive a car or get something at a store.

134

1Cross
3 Nails
4 Given

Says it all. And its there for the asking.

Ads

Well one station has answered my e mail. He reminded me of the law that makes stations accept ads. He said if it was a lie they don't have to run them but he says they are grossly exagerated and not lies. This is so sad.

Negative ads

I contacted two TV stations that put that trash into my home and ask why a station didn't have the courage to say NO and stop running those types of ads.

Who did what?

I love this country but right now I am so disgusted with the negative ads. Spin is one thing, but this is going beyond spin.
We want people to vote and I think we should. All these negative ads turn the people off and the constant repeating of the charges is just stupid. Regardless how many times you say blue is black it is blue. The money being spent on all this junk would really be able to help this state and this nation. I have lost respect for the people running and I am so glad I will have the pleasure of not meeting them.

Good situation

Saturday was open book day so people could see what the assesor had the value of their house and complain if they thought there was an error. I went because I really thought there was a mistake. I told him the areas of concern I had. I won some and lost some but my taxes should be less. Who says God doesn't provide- God gave me the words and kept me in the right spirit while we talked.

Nasty situation

While my son was hooking up my DSL he said tomorrow I am going to dig up the septic tank. {Surprise suprise} He knew that I wanted it pumped before winter so it was this weekend. I called and they pumped it on Sunday so myson could cover it up again before he drove home. His wife came out and helped fill the hole. They had brought up shovels on friday night.
See why I say sons are nice.

DSL or Peddle to the metal

Well my son John hooked up my DSL last night. I can not believe how fast it is compared to dial-up. I better remember to keep the brain in gear when I touch the keyboard. He and his wife drove over 200 mles after work to do this for me. The day was rainy and foggy so I started to think they would change there plans. Some of the trees have changed but the true beauty isnt here yet. We maybe able to see some color but when it is in full color I have a few spots I like to go to and just sit.
I suppose I should have made this two posts since it goes fast now. But I didn't. Besides the computer goes fast but that doesn't change my typing speed.

Cold

This morning I had to scrape the windows of my car. My car was covered with ice. The calender says the last day of summer.YA SURE! Tonight might be colder but I won't have to get out early as today. Life goes on.

TOO COLD

Tai went out yesterday when a friend was leaving my house. She will sneak out and go directly under the porch. Tai would usually come back in about 20 min. Not yesterday within 5 when I went out to call her in she ran up the steps to the door.
I sure hope the cold will keep her in and I won't have to deal with my sneaky cat. The worse is when it is dark out, with no out side light the only thing you see are her eyes.

It is 42 now so by morning the tomatoes on the porch may be finished. The flowers may get it to. Every thing in its season,but such a short season.

DIL

I have two DILs which I didn't mean to slight.

My Boys

My other son's didnot forget me. One son e mailed me a few minutes after midnight so he was first (if I had seen it) with a greeting. My other son sent me an e-mail card and later called me. The other son had to call me twice because I was gone.
I LOVE MY SONS!!!! They give me reason to live. BILL,BOB,JOHN,&GEORGE Thank You

What a weak end!

Friday my son came up with my two great grandsons.Tailor is 3 and Robert is 18 months. They came up for the week end and help me celebrate my 73 birthday. {Thats where the weak end comes in.} I do not know how I did it with my boys. I was so tired out and fixing meals wasn't that easy as it was before. I did get chicken one night. My son Robert helped with some of the cooking but I fell short. When you live alone you don't cook all the things you used to. A cheese sauce for the broccoli had me puzzled for a short while but it turned out. The sausage gravey for saturdays breakfast turned out with my sons help. It was cereal for the boys on Sunday. It is amazing how children can be so wonderful to see and so tireing.
After they left a good friend called and said they were on the north side of Green Bay and were coming to steal me away. I have not seen this girl and her husband for about a year. They picked me up and we went to visit another friend. There we had brownies and coffee. We also had good conversation. The ride was pleasent with the changing color on the trees. They brought me back home. I am tired but it was a busy time. The week end turned into a weak end-Mine!

New Little Angel

Heaven welcomed a new Angel named Gabriel on Tuesday. His family and alot of others were really sad down here on earth.
But God and the heavenly hosts welcomed Gabriel in his new and perfect body. Gabriel had a great deal praying for him and his family and the prayer was answered.

Confusion

How do we get frost bit plants, furnace running and the 70s.? My feeble mind is going beserk trying to figure what to wear.
Tomorrow it is going to be in the 80s. Isn't it wonderful to have such mundane problems? These I can handle. Who was it that said" If you don't like the weather wait a little while."?

What do we do now?

Many programs,blogs and memorials today but what about tomorrow? What are we going to do for the next 364 days? Can we all come up with a vow that we will not do any thing based on hate or misinformation. Let us all think before we act. Let us try to keep our little piece of the world free from hate. We lost thousands, now lets have millions keeping their spot peaceful.

Home from the war

Today a young girl from church came back. The church has been praying for her for over a year. I remember the last Sunday before she left and how I felt then. Being as old as I am it is hard to picture young girls going to war. Going from college to war is hard to understandfor me. Amanda was in the National Guard. She spoke briefly about her jobs in Kuwait.
Tomorrow she goes back to college life. God is so good.

Weby

My DIL lost her friend today after almost 20 years. Weby just couldn't stick around any longer. She had to make that last trip to the vet. Weby stayed upstairs when she first came to this house to visit. Her carrier was opened and she flew up the stairs away from me. I didn't see much of her that first visit. Rebecca did but I suredidn't. When I got to watch her it took days before I could get close to her. I could feed her and clean the bx but pet her no way.LOL After a few years I was tolerated but everyone knew whose cat she was. Bye Weby You Will Be Missed.

Is He trying to tell me something?

For me this has and is a bad week. Between my memories and things that are happening to others there is a great deal of pain and knowledge that I made it thru. My husband died on Labor Day 40 years ago at the age of 32. Ayoung man and father died Labor Day at the age of 31.I knew of him; Ican't say we were friends though. Both in traffic accidents. It shocked the whole town and definately me. Today was the date of my husband's funeral. {Right on his mother's birthday.
Then I hear of Susan Godfrey. Her baby is being born on Tuesday. In June she found out that her baby has no kidneys and will die within hours of her birth. This is the second child she will lose this way. I lost my first born shortly after birth-born without kidneys. I did not know ahead of time. So much PAIN.
But God got me thru and we can all pray for Susan and her family. She will need our prayers and so will her family for quite a while. After 40 years it still affects me. This has been harder than lots of years.

Messy Post coments

I tried to erase a comment that doubled up and I made it double up more. Sorry my inexperience with blog did me in. I will probably edit my blog in a day or so. I am so glad I can blog ; it makes me angry when I don't do it right.

Trash Update

Well the tires are gone. My one son came over and loaded my car. Of cource I was teased alot about the fact I said it was hard work to get the tires loaded into the car. He just told me to let him do it as he laughed at me. He is strong and today he proved it. But he can tease me .

Thanks From My Cats

My cats say thank you for all the nice comments. They may have saved their happy home this morning. When I first got up this morning and went to the bathroom half awake I stepped into puke from a cat. She managed to do it in the middle of the rug in the middle area of bathroom door. GROSS YUK! There was no way I could miss it. With my small bathroom I was able to accomplish two things when I sat down; Wash my bare foot and the other reason I went in there. I hate being efficient that early in the morning. Yes Rebecca I do love them but does my love have to be tested like that?
I guess this country girl could have put something on her feet but so early in morning when I'm barefoot most of the day.

Creative Juices

For some reason the juices have dried up. I don't have any ramblings that are worth publishing. I have checked around other blogs and they are good. I noticed that my old ramblings always have that trash can next to them. That is not an ego boost for sure.
I had a 4 generation day last weekend. It was wonderful but also I was tired when it was over.
There are so many interesting blogs out there so if I don't post all the time I am sure it won't be missed.

Trash

Today was the day! I took tarp off and hauled out old tires. At least I started. I could only get 4 in my car at a time. DIRTY & WET Why don't I have a pickup? I only made two trips to the disposal place.18 miles round trip, so 2 trips were enough. My car needs to dry out and I need to rest. One trip didn't seem worth getting dirty (and I got dirty). I have been planing this for quite awhile since I found a place to take the tires. Eight tires down some more to go but not today. My get up and go got up and went.

My friend

She was better when I talked to her Thursday . The pain is still there and everything she plans on didn't work out on Thursday. Sunday her two brothers are coming to stay for a week. She is looking forward to seeing them. I pray that all goes well with the visit.

Bad Day

I was not a happy camper last night and was about to vent on my blog when I came home. I couldn't get my blog to work and you were saved from my venting. It wouldn't have changed anything and I would still have been tired. I spent the day with my close friend. I drove her to her cancer treatment. She was having a very bad day and the pain was over what it usually is. After the treament and the doctor visit when we left the hospital her car was acting up. (I think it was my foot on brake and gas at same time) The car was moving and she asked if the car was running? I said yes and she wanted me to park. I wanted to keep on going-not be stranded in parking lot. We went a short way farther out of parking lot and we parked the next place she wanted to go. I turned off car then turned it back on and everything was fine. We had no more car trouble. The stress of the day got to me and you can imagine what it did to her. It was a long day since she had to go to another doctor in afternoon.
If any one wants to give me a shame shame go ahead. My day was alot better than hers and I let it get to me. She has never had as bad a day before and maybe fighting cancer for 12 years will do that to you.
Please say a prayer for my friend.
Question? Who do you think made it impossible for me to vent? I have my own idea on that.

Great Women

While I was reading a lot of blogs today I found out that there are a multitude of great women out there. They are dealing with all kinds of things and doing it well. I wonder what would happen if for 24 hours the women would run the world.
Husbands don't get upset because the women I am talking about love you and the kids. Do you think after a battle or a rocket we could sit and eat some ice cream or chocolate?Could we difuse the hot spots of the world? Could we get the leaders to see the tears that are flowing and the pain the children are in? If it was only that easy!
Well I turn it over to God and pray that all the battles large and small come to an end. May all the wives and husbands out there give each other a kiss and a word of praise.

mom's surprise

Friday my eldest son came to see me. I hadn't seen him since February. We talk on the phone almost every week but I don't see him. It was nice. He left first thing this morning. We didn't spend all the time together as he had things to do and I wasn't the reason he came up.
My son is a grandpa twice. He is losing hair and it is turning grey. It is strange how you don't see what your looking at all the time. I saw him-really saw him this week end. I love the man.
When you live alone things like this mean alot. I wonder if being alone with my sons makes me appreciate them more. I really hope note because children should be treated as what they are "Gifts From God". But remember God has a sense of humor.

Brain Freeze

Last night I got my pills out-ice water from the fridge and then I didn't take them. They were still sitting on my kitchen table this morning. When I do things like that I wonder why I am taking so many pills. My blood presure wasn't that bad and my blood sugar was okey when I checked . Can you tell I don't like taking pills?
Independence is fine but there is no point to go to the doctor if you are not going to listen. Just wish I could talk him into cutting a few. He is young like my sons but motherly tricks don't work.

cherry tomatoes?????

I have always thought of cherry tomatoes as round inch size circles. I have a plant in a pot on my porch that has me puzzled. It has small plum tomatoe shaped tomatoes,some little little round like grape tomatoes. I am beginning to think(I do once in awhile) that they swept the floor in the nursery and took a bunch of seeds and put them in a pot and out came my bush. How did they know I could handle such a strange batch? It is fun to see what is going to come up next!

Prayer of Thanksgiving

One of my friends had surgery this morning to remove some scar tissue and check for any more infection. This was the third operation within a year. She is already back at home and the doctor didn't find any thing else.What he did find could be fixed quickly. I told her it was a birthday present from God since today was her birthday.

A Little Humor

Who is the smallest man in the Bible? PETER; He slept on his watch. Remember I said little.
If you don't like Mondays a little humor may help. My pastor told that one plus a few more
that I couldn't hear. Audio mess up till a new micraphone(Spelling) hooked upduring the service.

Great Three Generation Day

This morning my son came over with his grandson. He is 17 months old and finally can allow his greatgrandma to hold him and talk to him without crying. He is Well Loved (Spoiled). We went out to eat and some shopping. He was so happy and smiling at every one. The lights on the ceiling in WalMart almost put him into a trance. On the ride home he went to sleep and I almost did to. He wasn't here that long but it made my day.
Sometimes its great to be tired. My son took me where ever I wanted to go. And this trip was far from organized. I did accomplish somethings that I needed to do.
I always have great days when my boys visit. I suppose I shouldn't call them boys since the youngest is 40 and two of them are grandpas. I can say that they are all different and each of them show me so much love. Not in the same way for all but I can say I am well loved. Maybe not always liked but loved.
I never had that girl I wanted but those boys make up for it.

August

I know that a year is 365 or 366 days long but this year is over half gone already. When you get in to your 70's you wish it wasn't going so fast. Or the things you had wanted to get done were done.

Weather breaks

Well the rain came and we our cooler. I know that in a few months we will want the heat. I still am so happy that we have changes and seasons. I know that there will be 120 degrees difference from the heat to some day this winter. And we will have 6 to 12 foot snow banks. That is all part of living in northern Wisconsin.

Dumb Dumb or Old Age

Today I spent about two hours looking for my car keys. It is Madning because I figured they were right in my face and I didn't see them. When the spare key on my main ring wouldn't work that didn't help. But ever prepared NOT the third key I have worked so I could go to post office. I finally sat down and did what I find myself doing more and more; thinking they will show up eventually. I then remembered what I did- where I laid them down. After I closed the car window last night I didn't want to go back in the house right away so I placed the keys on the floor of the porch. I don't recomend leaving keys outside but thats no worde than leaving the main key ring in the front door all night.
Solution: Concentrate more or wear pants with pockets for the keys.

DUCK

Not you. Today coming home from Iron Mountain I saw a Mama duck trying to cross Hwy 141. She had 5 or 6 little ones with her. Babies couldn't have been over 4" long. They moved fast going back to curb when I was coming. Nice sight!
I hope they made it across.

Coming Up Short

Another Wednesday and another trip to the clinic. I joked with the nurses and patients. I was there for my friend and I saw an old friend there also. I wouldn't know her right away;illness had changed her so. We talked and we laughed a little about her DD son.
I am in a muddle of thoughts. I feel so blessed not to have Cancer. I"m sad and angry about those that do. I don't testify in words but hope my actions testify for me.
Let us all give a prayer of Thanksgiving. GOD is good so I wish I could understand what Wednesdays are for.

TOO OLD TO LEARN

While out with my son and his wife I started to read one of the books in the car while they were on their adventure. It was Eats Shoots and Leaves. I had to go to the library and try to get it. It was out but they are getting it for me so I will probably pick it up on Wednesday. Punctuation lives and this book shows that. Language is important but even I forget that in my every day life.

pictures true or false?

While going from one blog to another I came across Mrs. B. A very nice lady but she caused me a problem.NOT Negative!!
I kept looking at the picture with my trifocals and I could not make it out-was it a lopeared rabbit or a cockatel. I solved the problem by going to her sight and seeing what it was. Isn't it amazing how we can look and not see sometimes.

weekend pleasures

My son and his wife were up and today while I went to rumage sale they went geocasheing. Then this afternoon I went with them while they searched for two more. I sat in the car and started to read one of my daughter-in-law's books. No way was I going to climb up hills or go thru the weeds. But I saw that they were having a good time.
When they came up they brought me a multipic frame with my greatgrand daughter's pictures. It is up on wall.

My So called Garden

It is mostly in pots because I have to water with jugs of h2o or dish water. The other night when hauled 7 jugs I was tired. I have a cherry tomato plant that is doing quite well and tonight when someone said "You will have a ripe one soon" I quickly popped up "I already had one" Boy don't I have alot to be proud of........Gardner of the year NOT. Oh well it gives me pleasure and something to do. But I was surprised how fast I wanted credit for that cherry tomato. We mortals are so silly some times.

Bad Day

I don't know how I can have a bad day but I did. I went with my friend to get her chemo. I go with her each week. Don't do much but joke with her ,the nurses and some of the other patients. I"m at my crazy best until I get home. When I get here I think of what I am going to lose. Isn't that just nuts. I know that I am fortinate and though I am not the most healty person I am no where near my friend or some of the others there. I don't have Cancer. God has blessed me with a good friend. I am not going down this path again-it serves no good purpose. I am UP and Nuts.

Overconfidence-ouch Senior Care

Tought i had this licked but Rebecca helped me again.Senior care application for renewal went out today. What a blessing when you take all those pills. It keeps me in Wisconsin because Medicare D would cause me big problems if I want to eat.

Heat

The whole country is suffering from the heat and I am no different. But today when I found out a little boy was lost I was out looking. Heat means nothing when a child is lost. But joy of joys as happens often the lost was found in his mothers bedroom upstairs.

Coming of age

I have joined the bloggers. Great grandmother has made it. It has been an interesting journey and my ramblings may be worth reading once in a while. You will get crazy old ladies thoughts. Never intending to be mean or not remembering the laws of the Good Book.
