John Wayne
The radio just announced that today would have been John Wayne’s one-hundred-first birthday. I am going to go celebrate. I wish I could post a picture of my father today. He looked, spoke and walked much like my favorite actor. I miss him, my dad. Instead I am going to put up my flag and … Continue reading
Verbiage
This frame of mind and writing was all brought on by acknowledging once again that a few of the words I use, like some in the very last post, do not exist in most dictionaries. Hope those words that I like to invent do not drive you too insane. And if there was “phrase check” … Continue reading
Am I Always Apologizing? Sorry, I Guess I Am.
Rank weed growth. That is what I came home to. I was already far behind in my gardening efforts because of the Romantic Influenza, okay and who I am, add to that 8 days actually gone, one day packing, one day baking, and there were just to many weeds and mayhem for my mind to … Continue reading
Absence
I’m sorry that Lanny has been absent. Please excuse her absence due to road fatigue and lack of access to wi-fi. The choice was apparent, find wi-fi area or get the heck on the road and get home. Choice? I miss my husband more than I want to blog about missing my husband. I promise … Continue reading
Smell That
These all smelled delicious. I wanted to bury my face in them and not leave. The images that the perfume of lilacs spring back to me are precious scenes of walking with armloads of lilacs to my school to place around the statue of Mary. Very fond memories, very inspiring times. I know for most … Continue reading
On The Road
It was bitter-sweet heading out this morning. On one hand it was very exciting to be heading off to see the sites. On the other hand it was very hard to leave the farm. The apple trees had just busted out over the weekend. The dogs were not particularly impressed with the idea of their … Continue reading
What Can I Say But I Am Sorry?
A day in town. I do not like a day in town. I don’t mind dressing up, doing hair and make-up, I do so little it matters little. I have a difficult time retaining my composure in town and today I lost it. I love my mom. She was a lovely person but she could … Continue reading
Ducky Daddles Arrive
The ducklings arrived at 8am finally! They must have taken the scenic tour, an extra twenty-four hours to get their little ducky daddles up here. They should have flown. They are all fuzzy and warm in their brooder box tonight. I’m sorta tired from getting ready to leave to take Carol down to California. We … Continue reading
Weeds And Paths, And No Weeds in Paths, Hopefully
Argh. Okay, you have probably surmised from previous posts that I am subject to confusion. I don’t mind weeds. In fact, sometimes I cultivate herbage that most people would consider weeds. But in certain places I can’t handle them. In some places instead of delight and wonderment they cause irritation, frustration and mild depression. As … Continue reading
Good Read With Good Friends
Last night our good friends, Steve and Sheila, had us over for a lovely pork chop dinner. Sheila made this really great brown rice with dried fruit and nuts. They have us over every Tuesday for dinner and I gotta say it is great not having to worry about dinner at all for one day! … Continue reading
