I Heard Your Voice

I'm sure everyone has someone that death stole from them. 

Nothing Much

Karen's Sunflower

We come into this world about the same as when we go out of it. Not much hair, no teeth, no smiles, sleep all day, stay awake all night. 

I have very little to write about in this blog these days. 

I'm going to bed now. It's 10 P.M. and my bedtime. 

I shall add a little story I took from Facebook.

A woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?' The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

True story... Have a great day and remember...

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.

A day without laughter is a day wasted!

Life on the Globe

Just another day on the globe. My son is making a grocery run for me. I am still counting flowers on the wall. Sassy, the brat cat, is sitting on the arm of my chair making cat sounds. She is trying so hard to send me a message that she wants some cat treats. I am ignoring her because she needs to go to cat-treat therapy. It's a habit she needs to quit cold turkey and not look back. If I had a dog she/it would be looking out the window for something to bark at. They want their voices heard. They also need a poop scooper to scoop their poop. I'm not signing up for that job. Now wouldn't that be prestigious employment to enter on an important document? An official poop scooper.

I had the vaccine and wish everyone else had it as well. I understand others are refusing to get it because it means the government is trying to take control and take over our minds and they don't want another Hitler. Or they don't believe it's been tested enough yet.

I understand if you get it you might die, ready or not. and if you don't die you still suffer a lot. I'm old but I am still in no hurry to leave this planet.

As you were.

To Seal or Un-Seal

Today Chris and I went to the Beauty Shop to get beautified, but it didn't work very well. We still look about the same. She had highlights and a cut and I had a cut. Then we went to Walmart because I wanted to buy a utility knife because I misplaced the one I had. 

So I bought the utility knife to open things with. It is almost impossible to open some of the packages these days. 

I needed a buzz saw to open the cardboard plastic the knife was enclosed in. Chris was here and finally was able to get it off of the cardboard it was on. It says the blade is retractable but we couldn't get it to retract at all. So it has to have the sharp blade exposed all the time. It says it's retractable so that means we need lessons on how to do it.

We found a Pepsi Cola sale and bought some and OJ and a few other things and went to our favorite Mexican food restaurant and had a wonderful meal and came home.

Wasn't that exciting!!!

Ways to beat the Haze

Ways to beat the haze, go back to bed, and sleep it off. Oops! it's still there. I think it's here for the long haul.

What could we gripe about if no haze? Politics? It's not politics it's lunatics and I'm not getting into that, I'm not going to ruin my day.

Don't be mean, get the Vaccine. 

Wear a mask and show some class.

Stay at home and do everyone a favor. Hey! everyone, I'm getting out of my house tomorrow and getting a haircut. Now, that is exciting. As you were, life goes on.

This is my mother on the left and her 

sisters and their Mom on the right.

They also had three brothers,

Many many years ago.

What's Next

Why is it such a big deal to live to such a ripe old age? Another year, another pain, nothing to gain, that I have found yet.

No, I don't really want to die because I would miss everyone. But think of all those we loved that have moved on that might make up for it. If you don't mind I would like to wait a few more years to find out. Let them wait! We don't want to wait too long because it looks like everything is going to burn up someday.

Are we going to get vaccinated? Are we going to wear a mask? 

I think everyone has a right to their views except in this case. Get vaccinated and wear a mask!

It is still 97 degrees here and it's 5:30 PM.

When there is nothing on TV except Basketball and no place to go or any wheels to take me there I may as well hibernate like the bear does.

Crazy World.

I've been here for a good long time and it has never been this crazy before. Oh well, they always find a way to fix things. Just wait for the fix. 

I just sit here and wait for the time to go by. If I had a car it would be a lot more fun, but think of the money I save! No insurance, gas, oil, mechanic expense. It might not be so bad if I was able to walk somewhere, but I can't even walk to my mailbox on the street anymore. I have a very kind neighbor that brings my mail to me and takes my garbage can to the street on the pick-up day.

The eyesight is bad and eliminates a lot of what I would like to do. As far as I know, I am in good health and may live another 8 years, which will put me at 100.

My memory is bad and I may have written all this last week but if I did, too bad. You already read it again. It's time to shut up.

See ya later!!!

Stop The Clock

Stop the clock and let me off. I'm tired of going round and round. With every tick-tock, we grow a little older. When we get so old or the body fails us we stop ticking.

We never know when we'll stop ticking for sure.  Doctor's can make a pretty close prediction at times, but it's still a guessing game. 

Karen and Dennis came over this weekend from Tacoma to visit. They had a brand new car, it's a Honda and the prettiest blue color and has all the bells and whistles. It's a smart car, if it is about to run into something it will stop in its tracks. You can start your car from inside your house and the car stays locked. it has a screen that shows everything behind you and even shows the blind spot. It does all kinds of things. The first car I remember had a crank hole in the front and you had to start the motor with the crank. It didn't have turn signals, you used your arm for that. 

We went to a fruit stand and found really good tomatoes and cantaloupes. They got Cherries and Peaches and Apricots, I haven't tried my cantaloupe yet.
