He Said Goodbye

The Snow is gone for now. 

I hope it stays gone.

The twin great-grandsons had a Birthday and we got together for that, but Tylor didn't show up. I finally got to meet my new great-great-grandson. He is only two months old so he didn't have much to say. He was so good, I didn't hear any crying at all. I didn't get a good picture of him on my camera so I have none to show. 

I didn't wear my compression socks today so my legs are hurting. 

I honestly don't know why I started this, there is nothing new.

I haven't been back to Mel's Diner so things are calm there I guess. 

I Wish

There is an old poem that starts out like this: I wish a may, I wish a might. And now the old mind cannot remember the rest of it. Can you?

When you get my age everything is on the move. the hearing, the vision, the teeth, the memory. 

Chris took me for a long drive a few days ago. It was enjoyable to just look at the weeds but we saw lots of beautiful trees and people's yards. And now the local news is reporting a few scattered snow showers and it isn't going to be leaving anytime soon. That is an exact quote from the local weatherman.

I wish I had a DairyQueen ice cream cone. Chris and I thought about the time the temperature was about 100 degrees and her daughter Michelle Meyers, was driving and drove thru an Ice Cream Drive-thru and treated us with triple-decker cones, and then we stopped at a Yard Sale to shop. Ice cream was soon running down our arms and we couldn't get the latch to work on the gate to their yard so we could get on our way. I needed a bath by the time we found some shade. It's a fun memory. 

I sell this fabulous face cream that will make you look years younger.

Home Sweet Home

This new modern age gets the news to us instantly, but that isn't such a great thing. Innocent people getting killed left and right doesn't exactly pick up the mood any. We are in charge of our four walls. We can turn off all those electronic gadgets, but we might miss something. 

I am so bored I could croak. I get sick of crocheting. When the internet came on the scene I was the first one to jump on board.

I even sent away for this little mouse pad.

This isn't good for anything but I had a bunch of oddball yarn.

It is a rectangle granny Square.

Ups and Downs

Aren't we glad we don't have to live this same life over to see what we would do differently? I really don't want to know. 

The snow is slowly melting and I am glad to see it go. 

I don't have much to look forward to these days, just another day older and deeper in debt. I guess we're all in this canoe together.

Living alone is the worse thing that can happen to a person. Especially when there is a Pandemic going on. 

Kenny or Chris take me to appointments and I appreciate it so much. I can use Dial A Ride and they get you there in time, but you wait for the return trip home and I am low on patience when it comes to waiting for anything. I'm always early for everything and you should be as well. 

I hope I get to see some grandkids this Summer. I have one that lives in Yakima and I still haven't seen him. He was born December 16th, 2021.

I guess I have a case of the grumbles so I shall shut this down for now. 

It's not my creation

I just helped myself to it.

The Way Things Are

Does the mask eliminate the common head cold? I don't remember having a head cold for years. Do we outgrow those things when we get in our 70's? I haven't had one for years. I never get exposed to anything because I'm always home so that may be the reason. Back in the early days, Grandpa or Grandma always lived with one of their kids and had a rocker in a corner. They probably couldn't see very well. How dreadful it must have been, so there they sat. Well, I guess they didn't sit there too long because they usually died in their 70's. There was nothing to read or look at anyway. Back in the very early days, they had to go out back to the outhouse a few times a day, rain or shine.

Aren't you glad you live in this era?

Till we meet again. It can't be too

soon for me. He only lived 70 years.

I think it's one of our poodles at his feet.

He didn't wear fuzzy slippers.
