Good morning
I don’t know what to say. I’m disappointed. I hate making the whole thing about me. Eight years ago, grandson Will, who was ten years old, was so disappointed he didn’t want to go to schoo...
Cowed, pushed into a corner, not very happy
For a while I thought election day was this week. Now all I can think is it’s another whole week. This might be the first presidential election since 2004 when John Kerry ran against the sec...
Starlight mints
Tuesday, October 22nd. The month is skimming quite along. Weather’s nice. I’m not sure what else I have to say. It’s funny what we decide to share here. Somewhere between everything an...
So.....
First, thank you for the notes on yesterday’s entry. There are lovely people here, who are caring and sweet, and whom I remember fondly. Second, I went to town today. I voted. And I ...
Do not foresake me
oh my darling I think that’s from High Noon. I’ve been spending time with John Cheever. We just took a liner to Portugal - destination Rome, for a year - to spend his windfall from his first...
First 2sday
Ah here we are in a new month. I didn’t write much in September. I had a few things to write about but I was lazy. Summary? Travel? Events? - I went to my class reunion and it was pleasant. ...
The good ones leave...

Hi again, the second day of the ninth month of 2024
is Labor Day. I used to work with a guy whose birthday would sometimes be on Labor Day. His name was Bob and he was a gossip and perhaps a tattletale. Well, aren’t we all? At times anywa...
Oh hi everyone
It’s me again. First entry since the big update. I haven’t really noticed any differences but that’s ok. I am at the stage of life that differences are the enemy. Even good ones make me s...
Another non-manic Monday is just beginning
I’m here. Between jig saws and notebook jottings. Somehow I’m sharing it with Frank Sinatra. Who would have thought? It was a very good year. All my bright tomorrows belong to you. And a ...
Three quotes for you and an uncropped turtle
I want a little amusement from time to time. I get so tired of you. If it’s free, you’re the product. A self-serving truth. They are handwritten on a yellow light bill envelope. The firs...
My Minnesota flowers
Some are from seeds purchased at Hampton Court a year ago in June. This one contains a self-portrait of the photographer. These came in the email yesterday. John had called earlier and we tal...
Books, bed and me
This is something I watched last night on youtube. It’s an mutual interview between two writers - Ann Patchett and Amor Towles. In the book they talked about her book - These Precious Days a...
Life is a funny thing
It’s 4 am. Yeah, that’s a funny time. No idea why I’m up. Even less of an idea why I’m typing here. I almost called it writing but that’s too far. Not far enough? Either way. It’s bee...
Once a month...
I was thinking - there is a new month coming in three more days. We get to start over a little bit in a little bit. I was thinking I might buy a hair product each month. I was thinking I ha...
Stop it
Bob Newhart was a great gift to our time. Does anyone else remember this skit? https://www.mindingtherapy.com/bob-newhart-brief-therapist/?unapproved=46561&moderation-hash=1902c5ea1892e39a4...
What dogs do for us
Writers Group - July 2024 - My Favorite Pet Zelpha told me that my favorite pet is my current pet. So sorry, Gracie, it’s Lib. Gracie was the yellow lab - Samoyed cross who came from the neig...
False start
I started an entry here and now it’s gone. I do not care enough to try and do it again. Sunny day here - semi-chili in the frying pan. My wild geranium dishpan flower on the deck looks good...
Bunny by the road
He’s a little movie.

High Water
These are Jim’s pictures. I left my phone at home today. It’s actually easier to have him email pictures and then I download them and then upload them to Imjur, than it is to down load them...
What I really look like
This picture is maybe a minute and a half old. It’s not flattering but it’s real. I took a series before this one, trying to make myself look good. I failed. I gave up and went back ...
Saturday, the sixth of July
I’m in a bit of a writing mood, but I’m not sure what or where - or maybe eve n how or when. Oh well here I am. A fresh PB window. I’m on the deck. Warm, sunny, bird-noisy. I have to squint ...

Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
