Hmm, some of those old classmates are continuing to write one line entries. Amazing. And from the most unlikely classmates. Amazing 2. Our backyard has become a jungle. I anticipate running into a python any time now. Our tiger lilies are blooming orange behind jungle foliage. Hmm. wonder how the tomatoes are doing. We also have fresh ( Read more... )

Hmm, 44 years ago I was graduated from high school. The reunion is to be in September and I have been ignoring the letters. Then I started getting phone calls and emails from classmates asking me to come. How can I refuse? Especially since I am only 40 miles from the reunion site. Ha. Nice to be wanted, however. I have a big address book now ( Read more... )

Hmm. What crappy Christmas gift are you quiz. I am a pair of socks. Which somehow is not at all surprising. I took the test again and became a losing lottery ticket. Thnk 'll take the socks, thank you.

I am a phlegmatic self-help book who likes to drink chocolate martinis and who is a fourth born child. (Actually I was a 7th born child, but I don't think their count goes that high.)

Fog outside. Silent inside and outside. The fog has closed over the lake and shut off the view across the lake. All I can see is the vague black outline of trees against a grey sky. The time is 10:30 Sunday morning. I seem to be the only one awake. My world has gotten very small. I was thinking of our view of the world. I have this world ( Read more... )

Hmm, I felt very restless and disorganized. I like ( Read more... )

We have fewer Canadian Geese now. I think a few hundred flew farther north. Two are floating on the lake. I find it very relaxing to watch geese floating on water. Once when I took a heart test I got my heart rate up on the treadmill and the nurse was watching to see how long before it went to normal. I pictured in my mind a pair of geese on ( Read more... )

In winter the flowers are dry sticks or vanished. The trees are black limbs against a (usually) grey sky. Yesterday, I found green stallks of daffodils and crocus breaking through the cold ground. Throiughout the months of winter the bulbs hide beneath the grouond and the snow. Now the time has come to grow. Soon yellow daffodils were bloom in ( Read more... )

I just took a what relligion are you test via Amber's blog. I am 70% spiritual and l0% faith based. OK, what does that mean? I am a Toaist. Hmm, I know nothing at all about Toasim. Amazing.

First month of 2006: 2 car accidents in the family so far, colds, ear infections, Joe with depression diagonosis (which immediately made him feel happy, perhaps because he is being helped); another daughter with a C-section scheduled in a week. HMMM yes, I still believe the year 2006 is going to be a great year. The year 2005 ended with a new ( Read more... )
