Here I am
I haven’t been away. Just not been getting into the writing mode… Papa and I have been doing the doctor appointments thing, with both of us needing prescriptions rewritten and new (old age) prob...
Fireworks
We spent the last couple of evenings watching fireworks displays…you know…those big fancy commercial shows… from our third-floor apartment. Friday there was just one across the lake from us. I...
Good for me!
This morning was the 14th day in a row I got myself out of bed and went for a beautiful morning walk for about 15 minutes along the banks of our lake. I know. I know. It isn’t a marathon, but ...
Caught up!
I’ve been here at least four hours, catching up on all my friends. We were gone for a week, and didn’t take a computer with us. Been busy catching up on dumb things like laundry and shopping th...
Nice start to the Holiday Weekend
When I got up yesterday, I had one thing “to do” for the day. That was to meet the gal who helps me mail out the newsletter I write for your “Fab 50’s” senior club and give her the copy and mail...
18 out of 20
That’s how many days it has been raining here. Flooding has become a problem along the creeks and rivers, of course. I’m hoping for a rainbow soon. Otherwise, life goes on at our house. We may...
Sunshine!!
Yea! It’s cool this morning, but we have blue sky…a little hazy, but much better than those thick, heavy snow clouds that have been hanging over our heads the last few days. Seems our weather i...
White Mother's Day
Yes, we do have snow. Not so much as they predicted, but the ground was warm enough that a lot melted before day light. The sun is trying to peek out now, so we may have to cancel the snowball ...
1968
Yesterday Papa and I joined some friends from our senior club for a trip down town to the “History Colorado” museum where the featured exhibit was “1968”. I was around then, of course, but my w...
April Showers
It’s been a soggy week here on the front range. Some snow and lots of rain. Good Spring moisture. And we definitely need it. Lots of snow in the mountains this winter, but the plains have bee...
March is over
I am hoping with the change of seasons I'll be more inspired to be creative...writing, painting, cleaning, etc. We did have an unusually nice winter here on the Front Range. Only one week of r...
I may be away for awhile
I think I’m going to be taking a break from the internet. Having some issues and think a “mental health” vacation might be in order.
Can it be spring soon?
I’m so tired of winter…cold, snow and ice and worst of all gray skies. I know, I know. We have had these conditions for only about two weeks, and nothing like you folks to the east have had. A...
Projects
The trouble with projects like the one I wrote about the other day is there is never any good stopping place. So far, I have emptied two big boxes, and taken scores of pictures out of frames. I...
Glad
I made myself go to Bible study yesterday. We started a new line of study, and got new books. On the first page of the introduction, leader’s guide, it says that the leader’s function is not th...
Tears
Yes, I’m wiping tears at the news that my grand dog has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. My daughter got that little bundle of white fur for her 40th birthday some 13 years ago… One time when Pa...
Update
Back is better Computer took a trip to the Geeks and is better New heating pad has been shipped from Amazon IBS meds are working as we speak Sun is out–looking forward to almost 70 degrees today ...
So many little things
Aarrghhhh..... Wrenched my back. My heating pad shorted out. My oven is not heating right. My computer has a virus, I think, and keeps jumping off the internet. The microwave oven went kaput...
Merry Christmas
Wishing all my dear friends on PB a peaceful, happy, blessed, merry Christmas! From my laptop to yours.... Aunty Em
Feeling good
After playing bridge most of the day Monday, I see that my calendar is clear all the way to Christmas! No more parties, unless something impromptu comes along. Tuesday I got up early and dragge...
Hello from balmy Colorado!
It seems that I have not written here in some time. I read my friends and sometimes comment, but have not been motivated to write real entries. Don’t know why. Just lazy I guess. That and I...
Counting down
This is the week we go to California…We leave DIA at 8:00 a.m. Thursday and will spend a week with my sister, Missus and her family. The highlight will be her grandson’s wedding in Palm Springs ...
Can they do that?
Got a notice that our lease has to be renewed by the end of the month. Also, they are increasing the rent by about 4%. They did that last year, too. Where do they think retired people can dig...
Indian Summer
Don’t you just love the “blue October” days? The sky is such a brilliant color. The golden aspen trees contrast against the sky and among the pines. Such is Colorado this week. Rhonda and...
Looking forward
Our daughter and son-in-law are coming from Montana Saturday for a few days’ visit. I can hardly wait! When we moved to Colorado we promised each other we’d get back up north at least twice a y...
