Veterans Day, Thanksgiving & Christmas...
Early celebrations for all three today! There will be a program at our Event Center this afternoon honoring veterans… Papa was in the Navy 1951-1955…just at the end of the Korean conflict and i...
Just in case you missed it
There was a clue in my last entry. Now it can be told. I’m gonna be a great grandma!
No title
Off to the eye doc this morning. I’d like to go shopping after, but I’m sure she will dilate my eyes and I’ll be too blind to see what I’m buying. Need some new shoes for winter, and, oh, my! ...
New season
With the Autumnal Equinox only days away, it’s as good a time as any to take a look at what’s up with me… I’ve had my round of doctor appointments…Everything is good. So why do I feel the way I...
MISSING!
Got a call from a friend Monday morning, just as I was arriving at the appointed place for bridge club. He said our mutual friend, a charter member of our senior club who suffers from dementia a...
I'm a little off balance tonight.
Got a call from the x-ray lab that the mammogram I had Tuesday showed some changes on the right side. I will go back next week for further testing. Prayers welcome.
Open Diary Friend
I am so excited this morning. Bob and I are meeting one of my first cyber friends and her husband for lunch today. Some of you PB friends who came over from OD might remember “Twik” from Kansas...
Five days later
and “Folsom Prison Blues” is still playing in my head. Gotta’ love those Johnny Cash songs…
The monsoon
It’s that time of year in this part of the country where the weather shifts into midsummer patterns. After several weeks of hot and dry we watch each afternoon as the towering thunderheads build...
Much better!
I am so happy to report that my husband is feeling much better. He’s still not 100%…still weak and tires easily…but he has admitted that he might actually feel better than he has for some time…(...
Yea!!! We're home.
For the record: This is the 4th time in just less than a year Bob has been hospitalized. Whoever said these are the “golden years”?
Thanks, friends
for your concern, good thoughts and prayers for my hubby. He is getting better, but still in hospital. Off pain meds. Walking around the halls with help. No fever. No apparent infection. St...
Summer plans
I know. I know. God laughs when we make plans.... But I have a few anyhow. These plans started last night with dinner with old friends whom we first met in Wyoming in the late 1960’s. We foun...
Holiday weekend coming up
Really? This weekend is Memorial Day. I remember when that day was observed on May 30…before the politicians decided it needed to always be a 3-day weekend and changed it to the last Monday in ...
Mothers Day
It turned out to be a nice day, even though I never left the apartment. Was having IBS problems in the morning so didn’t make it to church. Papa cooked breakfast for me. Nice chat with daughter...
Some good news
When one door closes, another one opens. Grandson Ben will be starting a new job that fits his qualifications and education. It doesn’t look too good for a quick re-opening for the sporting goo...
Mothers Day
Mothers Day has been moved up at our house. Son Mike has to go to Calgary for his “real” job next week and so will fly up Sunday. He apologized for not being able to be here to celebrate and su...
Update
I don’t have all the details but the gist is this. Grandson got some good news…although “his” store got flooded and had to close (I don’t know for how long) he will still be working. He will be...
Hello!
I guess I haven’t written an entry for awhile. Let’s see here....Guess I’ll start with now and go backwards… I got up early this morning, earlier than usual. I had made it thru the night withou...
March 29
It’s a dark and gloomy day. Rain/snow forecast. Tears in my eyes and an enormous ache in my heart. 17 years have passed without our son John, but it still feels like yesterday. Losing a child...
How old?
Birthdays have never bothered me… until this one, that is. Have always figured I was only a day older than I was the day before.... But this time, (and it doesn’t have a zero in my age), I feel...
Winter blahs
Even though Denver has been experiencing record high temps, I seem to be having lots of “lows”. Life is so same-old, same-old. Day after day. I have to stop and think what day it is a couple t...
MLK
I have always felt nothing but respect for Dr. King. Now I feel like he is spinning in his grave.
Come and gone
Another Christmas in the history book. We had a nice couple of days with our son and his family. We started it by going to church at 5:00 PM on Christmas Eve. Then to their house for dinner… B...
It's getting close
Just in case I don’t make it back here between now and then, I want to wish all my PB friends and their loved ones a blessed Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
