Relief

Bought myself a cane
Damn knee needs better support
The start of the end?

Santa Barbara

Peaches and Pizza
An hour at Farmers Market
Playing with grandkids

Aches and Pains

Night fears are the worst
Nameless terrors steal my sleep
Thank God for doctors!

Money

Euros and Forints
And even Czech Korunas
Strange stacks of money!

Our Anniversary

Forty-seven years
Wasn't it just yesterday?
When did we grow old?

Ouch

An Oom-pah-pah band
Should never play G & S
Oh the pain of it!

Water

Water pipe is fixed
Little things make me happy
Great shower today!

It is supposed to be good
I think not this hair!

Friends lost

Peggy Morrison
Used to be my BFF
Where the hell is she?

First it was painting
Then storytelling, then books
What will it be next?

1845
Pretty Women of Paris
Tears behind the smiles

Vagina

"Trans-vaginal," yes
but "Vagina" offensive?
How stupid is that?

Executor of Estate
All this--just to die!

Father's Day

Hamburger, Hot Dog
Which will come off the grill first
Air is thick with smoke

But then she met our Ashley
Soon, Joey will run

A Rant

Offensive, he said
Then punished her for the word
What about free speech?

Books

Chaucer and Balzac
Scandal for "Music Man" gals
I'll find out myself.

Happy Birthday, Bill
Ninety-Eight and still blogging!

Reflection

Dogs think I'm crazy
Why awake at 3 a.m.?
They don't have my dreams.

Visitor

It passed so quickly
This trip we'd planned for so long
Susan came and left.

Words

Such a little thing
A word can make your day
Or destroy your life.

Murugi

My sweet Murugi
Finally I see your smile
I wish we could meet

Surrounded by books
It's how I spend my Wednesday
My favorite day.

All around disappointment
Very depressed now

Add the packet of soup mix

Good food, good conversation

O, ponderous pachyderm
Won’t you be my friend?

Typing is my life
Does typing mirror my life?
Error rate too high!

A meme is a meme
A chance to learn stuff about me
Do you really care?

It still hurts each year

No big box for me
Dust to dust, ashes to ash
For once I’ll be small
