There were many things I valued as a child, but only one thing I couldn't live without! He came from J.L.Hudsons in Detroit, Michigan, & he walked all the way home with my mother. He was furry, had four feet, & was tan in color. I loved my teddy bear so much, that as the […]
As a recovering perfectionist I really try to not let things bother me. Recovery is always difficult, & an ongoing project! Things like the towels hanging perfectly on the towel rack in the bathroom, or the bed being made each morning first thing are some of the few things that still hang on. And, I […]
After finding out I'm being exiled to a private island, my captors have told me I can only have five foods to sustain me. Well isn't that just great? First I'm captured, then planted on a island only to find out i'll only have five foods to eat over & over. This is a pickle! […]
Someone once told me, "That if you saw someone bleeding to death in the street, you wouldn't lay down beside them, & bleed with them. You would run to get help!" As a nurse, I learned to set aside my emotions, & deal with the problem. Many situations I dealt with we're sad, preventable, shocking, […]
It’s spring break
Around here the traffic is heavy, the restaurants are packed, shopping is difficult, & finding a parking spot nearly impossible! I say this only because, I’m not the one on spring break. Not me, I’m older than dirt, and all we do is complain about the “young wiper snappers!”Not So…
I rarely complain, except to complain to a complainer about their complaining! As a matter of fact, I make it a practice to say only good things, and if I ever say anything bad about anyone, I always say, “Bless their heart!” One of my friends told me that you can say anything you want about anyone without consequences, if you follow it with “Bless their heart!” That’s how you get away without being struck dead by lightning and stuff!
The week before Easter…
That was the week it turns out was my grandson Connor’s spring break, and this is where he landed. Yep that’s right, here at grandmas house. Sounds quaint doesn’t it? My son-in-law John is still here working in my son’s yard next door, so there is a slight distraction for Connor. He comes here with his dad, and gets to catch lizards, work in my studio, swim, or today he brought his metal detector.
Cool…
It would have been cool if he had found the treasure he was looking for. I guess it’s the kind of thing you have to practice doing for a long time in order to find truck loads of money! Connor is a determined kid, and smart also, so if there is money to be found, I’m guessing he’ll find it! And I’m hoping he finds it here so I get it, and I can get away with giving him a finder’s fee!
It’s been a long week!
By the end of the week, Connor was ready to stay home, Grandpa was ready for some peace and quiet, and I was ready to paint. I have to admit, it’s difficult to find energy to stand and paint when it’s been a zoo all week. But, small blocks of time to paint are possible, and that’s where I’ll be, in my studio painting, if anyone wants to find me!
This last week I’ve been having trouble with my Internet and my passwords. Go figure! I thought I had it all set up so simply. I guess I was wrong. Is anything simple? Today Monday, along with laundry, Dr. appt, bank, & everything else, I’m spending my time trouble shooting passwords. Even the questions you […]
Old as Dirt and Proud of it!
