Keep on Writing

I’m feeling unusually energetic for this time of night. Perhaps it’s the prospect of having someone else clean my house tomorrow. That can really put pep in my step.

Floyd got in nine holes of golf before the rain started this morning.

I swam in mid-afternoon, after reading part of the Sunday paper, and doing… click here to continue

Die, Die, Old Habits

Old habits formed during years of pinching pennies don’t go away easily. I have a bed skirt, the color I want to use, but it’s fastened to a flat section of cloth and has to be placed on the box spring. Then the mattress has to be placed on top of it while trying to keep it in place so… click here to continue

Hot Friday Night in Senior City

We just had a delightful visit with my cousin and his wife from Scappoose. We had dinner with them at Home Town Buffet and a short visit afterwards at our place. Before Floyd got home from work, I spent a couple of hours with them, also. They are always fun.

Tuesday Night T.V.

Today was a short one, I slept so long last night. I hope the antibiotics I’m taking for another day or so, are the cause of my sleeping so much. If it doesn’t go away when I finish them, I’ll have to take it up with my doctor. I know many of my peers who would love to have… click here to continue

Daily Routines

Today I went over some of my travel journals and tweaked them a bit here and there. I noticed that the level of enjoyment of each trip was reflected in the tone of the reports of our activities. There’s really no remedy for that.

I’m also still editing memoir articles and stories. It’s good to be spending… click here to continue
