Again my heart thanks all of you. I will take Mum to see Dad in a little while. I will walk her back to him and stay for a visit before coming home.
Mimi the mirror on the dresser I have looks much like yours. The dresser itself has drawers with crystal like knobs. I LOVE THOSE KNOBS. I haven't seen those in years. I remember when door handles were made to look like those crystal like knobs.
I don't know how to post a picture for you Mimi or I would. I know how to email or text it but not how to post it to CS.
It has been blistering hot here the last few days. This morning it is NOT sweltering, it's almost a bit cool. Today is going to be a great day.
Thank you all. Out of nowhere one of my Mom's neighbor's gave me an antique dresser that she inherited. A different neighbor delivered it today. I have an empty bedroom so I accepted it. Just went in there to look at it and it's beautiful, WOW just wow. I'm trying to keep that empty bedroom empty until I decide if I want a craft room or an extra bedroom. That dresser will hold an awful lot of supplies.
I was a bad daughter today. I didn't go inside the rehab center to see Dad but I did pick up Mom from there and drive her home. sigh Dad won't remember if I went to see him or not. I feel a little guilty but that's my problem.
I've been eating very healthy for the last three weeks and I think that has done wonders for my attitude and stamina. I swear I'm watching my Momma wither away. She was a tiny bird in her last life I think.
I've researched Home Health Care and it sounds reasonable to have assistance go to my folks. They offer all kinds of services from personal hygene, to doing chores like changing the bedding, showers, grocery shopping or taking to the doctors. The prices are fair! I think having someone come give them assistance is better then moving them out of their lifelong home into new place to die. Dad has made it well known that he wants to die in his home. If all goes well he will leave in his sleep. Life doesn't usually go that well though.
whoever said: I will let the readers judge your characters for themselves.
While I was trying to read back & forth between comments - I was picturing two big stags with their giant antlers entwined in each other in battle, eloquent as it was.
I wonder if maybe I should try and get on a boat first and see if I do like sailing or not first.
Absolutely you should. I can't begin to tell you how many things I've tried or bought thinking I liked or wanted them only to turn out I didn't. Trying it on first is a smart move.
Yep I was logging in to FB, it was down so I came here while dinner is cooking. FB being down made me shrug and come here. I wonder how the rest of the world is going to handle it. Big brother? Cyber terror?
Thank you for the hint as that occured to me before I shrugged that I didn't care. Guess sometimes I feel nosey but most of the time I'm better off not knowing.
Thank you everyone for such positive feedback and yes Itchywitch it is always good therapy when I write. I wrote a lot when I first became widowed then when I read it years later I did so without feeling the agony of the moments when I was writing.
Nothing is forever.
Mom has always said I have the ability to find good in any situation so I think that is a blessing. Other than what my folks are going through, I couldn't ask for a better life. Everywhere I turn there is something to be thankful for.
Remember I have a little 3 pound ball of fur going with me everywhere, my little pocket purse dog. Even Dad without his mind doesn't have to know the dog's name to melt by her cuteness. Not one place in Tampa has tried to kick me out so Tampa is much more dog friendly than Orlando.
Paper is still going to sell to the Boomer and earlier generations since they can't figure out how to use their phones.
Way to go Imp. If I were a betting woman, my money is on you and a successful adventure. If you are loving it then the $$ isn't as important, sweet yes but not important. Won't the book go digital and be sold on like Amazon. Lordy I don't know anyone that doesn't shop Amazon.
Most that know me know that I've followed you are your photo journey actually is should call it a talent journey. You are exercising your talents and I've watched you hone your photography skills. Of course the better you are the more bitter some people will be when you talk about it. It doesn't matter, just don your tough skin and be glad you are not in their negative shoes.
Glad you said no to the watercolor club. Now let it go, let it go, let it go. (in my best Frozen voice)
I can see on FB that you are admired by many. I'm just waiting for you to get rich enough to have some winter vacation in Paradise here someday.
I can remember vaious dolls, my first typewriter toy. I can remember more of my children's toys than my own though. I'll never forget the the look on my boy's face as he tried to stretch out Stretch Armstrong.
I'm not found of hearing a robotic voice tell me to push a gazillion numbers. As for people in conversation not much annoys me unless they repeatedly use a saying, then it grates on me.
I'm so very happy that she wants me to be part of her life.
So Mr Niice Guy are you her beloved Artie?
Well if she is shy to praise, then that's her problem. Sometimes something moves me enough to have to take a moment and praise a blogger, that's my problem.
When I was younger not all that long ago I had every intention of becomming an alcoholic in retirement. I was looking forward to switching from coffee in the morning to Bloody Mary's to start my day. What a disappointment to myself to find out that I don't even want to drink period much less start me day off with one. ugh
I do however have a nice vice I enjoy indulging in quite often.
I'm so curious what is in the mind of a murderer like that? Do they realize how hated or disturbed they are? Are they delusional? Can't family or friends tell this individual is disturbed and dangerous?
So many questions
So sad the disturbed person exists not to mention the grief for the loss of the pony,
I would also suggest tip #4 - Have tough skin. If you are a good blogger with many people appreciating you, then don't let the one and only Debbie Downer run you off or hurt your wittle feelings.
