Holy Cow

Happy Days are not here yet. Yet means there is hope. 

Miss Retha is waiting for the end or maybe it's the beginning. Who cares, live in the moment. this is a typical day: I am blind in one eye and almost there in the second one. I need a third eye or a flashlight. there is never enough light, but one day the flashlight couldn't be found. Now that is a problem, how can I find a flashlight without a flashlight.

Weeds

I just keep getting older but I guess it's better than the alternative. So I shall stop complaining until tomorrow and then I'll start all over again. 

I need to find something new to do. A new craft or whatever you can do just sitting in a chair. I am so glad the weather is getting warmer. At least I can sit outside and soak up a little sunshine. I don't know my neighbors. I know Polly, she lives in the other unit. She is the only neighbor I know. Polly likes to pull weeds. She is addicted to it. No, not that kind of weed. I think Polly has some kind of disorder such as autism anyway she is not a conversationalist. A few phrases over and over. Such as "Spring has sprung". Or, It's a nice day, isn't it?

I have some Vanilla ice cream out in the freezer and it keeps yelling at me. Of all the ice cream flavors in the world, vanilla is my favorite. 

Excuse me while I have a dish of ice cream without a topping. Maybe I'll have a little chocolate on it for a change. 

Speaking of ice cream!

Goodnight to all!

Wait and See

I have seven siblings, but 3 have already passed on. I'll probably be the next one to get there. I have a sister there (where ever There is). I wonder if she'll be an adult, she was only 22 months old when she left us. I guess people have been speculating over such things since the beginning of time. It's a wait-and-see game. Maybe we won't remember anything. We don't remember anything from wherever we came from. At least I don't, maybe some people do. There has to be a God or some kind of super being that knows everything or how could the world be the way it is. I don't lose too much sleep over it, but now that I am 93 and not getting any younger I spend a little more time thinking about it. I might show up there most any day. 

If you are a Christian you believe and you go to heaven and if you're not you go to hell. That is a common belief. Why would a God make a ton of people and then assign some to go to heaven and some to go to hell? eh? Why? Yes, I know God gave each of us our own will to believe whatever we want to. 

Well, anyway life goes on and I want to tell you all goodbye in case I get up and leave. I am not planning on it. My brother, Cecil, and I can catch each other up on what we have been doing.

Live Life and Die Happy

I bought new hearing aids about 4 months ago and I was not very happy with them. I thought it was because I bought the ones that set in the ear instead of over the ear type so I thought I had to live with it. I planned on going back but when you need to ask someone to take you, you tend to put it off. I finally was able to go back today and it was too late to get the other type but he thought he may be able to adjust these so they will be fine. AND SO HE DID. The batteries were dead so I would need to charge them up first. Life ain't easy for an old lady named Miss Retha. Anyway, he said to go home and charge these batteries and he thought they would be fine, and if not, he could adjust them some more. He was right, I can now hear a pin drop over on Tieton Drive. They are comfortable as can be. 

Now, I am going to get something done about these awful dentures. 

I have lost ten pounds so maybe I will wait until I get a few more pounds off first. I didn't lose weight because of the dentures, when you get this age everything slows down or quits working at all. The appetite isn't there as it once was. You don't see many old (90's) people that are fat. 

I have been waiting for nine O'clock. 

Goodnight all. I'll be back on here about 3 AM and that's the way I roll.

Next to Nothing

 Nothing very exciting going on around here. It's still cold and we're in the middle of March. And who cares? 

I haven't seen anyone for several days except Polly, my neighbor. She brings my mail in for me. I appreciate it so much. I have trouble walking. I think my legs turned into rubber. They hurt and my back hurts and my hips hurt. Don't look forward to living to a ripe old age because everything has stopped working by then. I know it's good for you to keep using your legs and keep walking. Well, you go right ahead. I'll just sit here and watch. 

If you want excitement turn on the TV. I get my entertainment from YouTube and instructions and ideas.

Maybe on the other side, we'll get some time together.

I think she was about 3 when I married and moved far away.

My little sister, Carol Ross.

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.
