HAPPY HOLIDAYS
MENDING
It’s a beautiful sunny, cold day. Winter is upon us, and soon a pair of storms will come rolling through. I’ll putter around here for the rest of the week feeling heroic as I put the Christmas...
OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS
I remember once, or twice, in my twenties longing to own new furniture. Now I am 80 and living with a house filled with other people’s furniture. As an example, my mattress is new, but the bed...
WELCOME
list text here In this house it seems strange to have so few visitors. In the big house, it would take me a week to put the ornaments on the tree. Later, we would have a Christmas party of tw...
COUNTDOWN
() Bobbie and Geoff…what a pair. An aging rock star living with an upcoming artist. Geoff came back from Paris looking old and shrunken but acting open. Bobbie looked and acted just like herse...
A VISIT
It’s a lovely day. Bobbie and Geoff were a little late so I was able to stay in my warm bed with a book until the last minute. Yes, it was glorious to be silly. I’ve been giving myself permis...
DUCKS' TREE
No E book available for “The Only Way To Cross” darn it. No power most of the day too. George got two tiny fillings and a crown this morning, and he had fun getting the car out. Our old de...
FRIENDS
Pat was best friends with Captain Poolie. Talking with Pat today, all she can talk about is Poolie. Poolie died four years ago. Yes, she made everything more; she was that kind of lady. But ...
AN EXPERIMENT
I’ve not been happy with the size of my pictures here. A little smaller would make me a happy blogger. We will see how this works. 400 PX TOO SMALL. 800 JUST RIGHT IF YOU WANT BIG ! LOPSID...
COUNTDOWN
I’m slow today. I got all of me done, but slowly. Meds taken, drops in eyes, legs on, clothing on, and even a bit of book read too by 1030. Normally I am in here by nine. That was George’s ...
A RED YEAR
Right in the middle of dinner prep, the microwave died. The latch on the handle that is. It did give us 24 years of good service. Old indeed. It could be repaired, but the new microwaves hav...
HAPPENINGS
We watched CBS Sunday Morning like we usually do. Holding hands, taking our medications…silly us. I’m tucked in under the covers. He is not. Now we are both here in the computer room, dresse...
CLEAN
A package has arrived from Oregon. What a treat. There’s a battered old cardboard Jeep/box waiting next to it also. Harbingers of an upcoming Christmas. Good cheer everywhere….Bobbie calls....
RIDING ALONG
That’s me. I’m riding along these days. He’s afraid my weakened right leg might cause an accident; I selfishly want a trip in my truck. He can’t drive the truck safely yet as his hand isn...
HOME
Again, George at the top of his form. What you ask? Since we moved in here, we have always had blue lights all around our home. We are on the end of the building, and G would attach layers of...
PEARL HARBOR DAY
The Anesthesiologist used less anesthesia than the previous surgery….by more than half. I was awake and bored and out of there at light speed. George kindly took me there and waited for me out...
WRINKLED
Here’s a 2015 blue tree. Yes, I got the red tree done but not photographed yet. Pillowcases changed, slipcover on but looks massively wrinkled. Oh well, life is wrinkled. Himself: Make bre...
CHRISTMAS PAST
The Christmas Kitty is with us again. Duck’s tree is up. Today we will get down one of our fake trees and begin to turn it red. Himself: Lost everything in his space game and had to build...
DECOR TIME
We found the white slipcover for that chair in the very last place we looked. Of course. In the attic space above my closet, there it was. There is all the Christmas stuff too. So it’s going...
....AND THESE THINGS TOO
WORLD AIDS DAY: Yes, it is “WORLD AIDS DAY.” Please don’t forget. I almost did. It’s a pandemic that no longer kills but is still with us. The HIV virus mutates even more rapidly than the C...
UNTOWARD MOMENTS
Now don’t laugh at me. Today is the day I find the deeply hidden slipcover for the plaid chair. For years, the plaid chair has lived upstairs in the bedroom. When I added my sewing tables to...
COSTUME DAY
list text here They posed for a moment before heading off to volunteer this last day at the Comic Con Special. This year’s Comic Con was held without flash or ad’s. They were still selling ti...
THANKSGIVING 2021
It was perfect. Margot, the eldest daughter, brought the whole meal here and fixed it perfectly. We got a few marvelous leftovers, and Margot went back home for the night. It was a wonderful ...
A MEMORY
There are only a few Thanksgiving pictures in my collection to prove I’ve celebrated the holiday. Here’s one with an unsliced turkey. This is also the year that I dropped the salt cellar into ...
EYE SEE
On December 7th, I’m having that big cataract taken out of my left eye. Early in the morning too. I went through all the pre-op things this morning, and I am ready to see well for the first ti...
