MAY 7,2021

 Oh my it has been awhile.  Momentous event today (only for me) Showered BY MYSELF. Nervous? yes, but I did it and can do it again, with caution. And the world still turns. Unlike the butterfly in Africa causing weather effects in the States, my shower has NO global effect.;)

I may ( should be in caps) go to Great Clips for a haircut. Let's live a little ;)

87 is a wonderful age. You see the bigger picture. You get just as frustrated, maybe because you CAN'T do anything about it. Not marching for any causes. Prayer is our recourse and maybe yelling. 

Ed turns 90 on the 6th of June. I wish him well.

Paper crafting has taken over my life. Now to do "Something" with all the STUFF I generate.

Starting again

Been playin with paper crafts.  Made books (Recovery Books) for my surgeries. Some large some small, all important to ME.

I'm in hopes of putting pictures in this time  ..  we will see how that goes.  Spending my time the way "I" want to.  Dr Ujwal (psychiatrist not real happy with that).  Must admit she  is the first psychiatrist to take an interest in my day to day and not just prescribe more pills. We had an altercation in the beginning but I understand she will prescribe the best for me and not grab at straws.  I've had hips and knees done since the last writing. Been in and out of Mt Carmel West to to many times. 

Must speak about my sidekick Cooper.  He is funny, cuddly and a great sleeping buddy.  At his over weight of 9.5 pounds he keeps me almost sane. I'm sure to have photos of him in the future.

Think this its it for today.

Two Posts in one day .. must mean something ......

Anniversary dindin with Matt & Katie. Nothing was said about their meeting their "other Grandparent". Katie mentioned it on Face Book. It could have been her "Step Grandparents" and then again it could have been Ed & Karen. It really doesn't matter to me. That was another life and another time.

Good time at Fiesta Mariachi on Stringtown road and then off to "Cold Stone Creamery". DawnE and I called it the "Slabbery" .. silly us. Everything was yummmm. Matt & Katie liked the little things I got them. I gave them Matt's handprints I got from Dawn in 1991 when he was 4.

It was a good day.

Got a little bit more organizing done. Ralph gave me a 2" binder so I'm in good shape for "GETTING IT TOGETHER" (a fav older song .. memories)

It's late or early however you look at it 3AM. Nite nite ME

Much much later 12/9/11. Wasn't Ed & Karen. So there .. ME

So I've been missn' the whole idea.

I've ignored my blog. I don't have anything to contribute to the world. Who am I to write in a blog??? AND think some one else would read it!!

The whole idea is to just share yourself, maybe just with yourself. What a concept. What an idea. So now I am free to write my "stuff" here .. just for me and maybe add some pictures of my "crafty stuff". I'm my own worst critic .. so let me critic me.

5 Question Friday.

1. How close to your childhood dreams is your life now?
Not at all. Wanted to care for animals .. dogs & cats. At this date not even a pet. There have been pets (dogs)in the past but none now. To much responsibilty at this stage of life.


2. What is one must have item for the summer?
ICE ICE AND MORE ICE. Ooops that is year round .. but more so in summer.


3. Do you have your kids stay up on school stuff during summer vacation? (Or, if you don't have kiddos, did your parents make you keep up on school stuff during summer?)
I did, the kids are Grandparents now.


4. Do you can or freeze fresh produce?
I did. Green beans, tomatoes, froze blackberries. Not anymore, grocery is easier .. mine tasted better.

5. Do you get ready for the day first thing in the morning?
No no no .. I love puttering around in my nightie (sleep shirt nothing reveling, giggle)

Welcome In Year of the Rabbit .. Alan

Here I am .. New Years Eve. Going to join Ralph and his girl friend Sue for an evening of eating and drinking. Linda has invited the rest of the building to a party in the community room. We were invited .. but we had already made these plans. Truth be known .. we would rather not go to THE party. Just staying out of controversy and confusion.

The refrence to Alan in the title .. RABBIT. Family secret.

Got to shower .. really over due. Want to make a No-Bake pumpkin cheesecake to take with this evening.

My world is good. After a not good experience wth a Home Care cleaning gal I got a good one yesterday afternoon. Lori is cheerful and talkative AND did a super super job. I look forward to a long relationship with her.

Now to the shower.

Awww .. so nice to be all cleany clean. Now for the cheesecake.
