WHY I AM NOT POSTING...

Fred, and Grump checking out the new arrival. I was sitting at my computer when my grandson, Fred, showed up at my office door. I turned to look at him. The grin on his face lit up the room. “Merry Christmas, M’mère!” he said. He pushed back one side of his winter coat, and the sweetest little face... Sign in to see full entry.

LIFE IS NOT THEN...

Things have been happening around here – mysteries? One of the exterior lights above my gallery has not worked for at least 6 months. The light is enclosed in a carriage lamp type of container, and it has to be taken apart piece by piece to get at the bulb inside; very pretty, but a nuisance to... Sign in to see full entry.

THE DAY AFTER...

Sitting between Bird and our younger brother, Pody, from NB. His birthday is Jan.7th, and we did a 'Christmas in July' thing- celebrating them together that year. I’m still a bit woozy. Once upon a time I could do a tequila fest and bounce right back the next day. Ha! The old gray mare ain’t what... Sign in to see full entry.

TODAY IS BIRD'S BIRTHDAY...

Bird, with his daughter, Josette. Does the man look happy here? January 6th. Today is Bird's birthday - he would have turned the big 6-0!! We were planning quite a party. This picture was taken a couple of years ago, just after he went through his first chemo & radiation treatments. Because his... Sign in to see full entry.

THE REALITY IS...

Three smiley Rug-rats I was what Bird would have called ‘a lost cause’ all day, and most of the night, of the New Year’s Eve. I wept a little, read a little, slept a little, and just ‘timed out’. I never did go for the brandy; I stayed in pyjamas and moved aimlessly from room to room, followed very... Sign in to see full entry.

KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON...

Suzie wants me to go with her to a party tonight to ring in the New Year; in fact, she has already bought our tickets required for attendance. She has been planning it for a couple of months now, showed me her new dress, named those who would also be celebrating with us. It will be held in a small... Sign in to see full entry.

THE CASE OF THE MISSING...

Photo by monastero in Photobucket I can’t find my camera...the nice one that the kids gave me for my birthday last year. I’ve looked high and low to no avail. When not in use, it always sat on my desk, snug in its little box together with the necessary adaptors to download pictures to my computer. I... Sign in to see full entry.

DIS, DAT, AND DOSE TING

I love this picture. (Most French speaking persons have difficulty pronouncing 'th'; instead it comes out as 'd', or 't'. They also don't pronounce the 's' at the end of a word. My subject title is an imitation of a French person saying 'This, that, and those things'.) - Like Wiley, I’ve been having... Sign in to see full entry.
