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.
