I’ve been asked to not blog about someone today … who shall remain nameless to protect their identity. I am a respecter of persons but, of course, there is also my constitutional right to freedom of the press, and we all know how free the press can be. So, I will just say one word [...]
I’ve been thinking about “patients” and “patience”, both of which describe my man at the present time. Patience is definitely his virtue and not mine. Oh, I am sort of patient. It just doesn’t always show, because I like to whine about things and be a little bit annoying while I am being patient. I [...]
I’m sitting here in Lynn’s hospital room with my warm sweatshirt on thinking I should have brought ear muffs. This is night two after his 2nd total knee replacement. Lynn had a pretty high fever for a long time last night … I think they said 104 degrees once it was translated from 39.something into [...]
Recovering from surgery seems to have its way of getting worse before it gets better. Lynn’s is no exception. Today, his second day home from the hospital, his leg is swollen and angry he has been miserable. It started around 3:00 AM when he suddenly awakened from a sound sleep and realized he’d taken the [...]
The last two nights I have been making Valentine’s with two of my grand daughters. It has been two nights full of giggles, glue, scissors, stickers, and paper and I think they have turned out remarkably well! Don’t tell a certain someone that this is his … I want it to be a surprise! I [...]
This is our celebration week … Our 43rd anniversary and Lynn’s 66th birthday. I can tell we are older by how we celebrated. Year’s ago our anniversaries included a huge vase of beautiful roses and a quiet, romantic dinner. This year allergies have called a halt to the beautiful roses and heartburn has taken away [...]
Living in a 34 foot motor home has been an enlightening experience. There are just two of us and a little white dog but the only time we aren’t in full sight of the other person is when we are in the little bathroom with the door shut. Yeah … any sound from the bathroom [...]
Lynn and I went bowling today. He bowled 129 and I bowled 111, which for me is probably the highest score of my life. It reminded me of our second official “date”. We grew up together in the small town of Draper and our best friends were siblings so we spent time together all our [...]
Men! I mean … MEN! I tackled a huge project in the bedroom today. Cleaned out the dressers and closet and cleaned off the tops of the dressers. The dressers looked wonderful! All that was left to do was haul the various piles to their designated new homes. Then Lynn decided to go to bed [...]
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’ve been thinking … Mothers are responsible that their child is clean, fed nutritious food, has clean clothes, makes good friends, does their homework, practices the piano, learns their manners, respects adults, learns to work, has time to play, and learns how to obey … Mothers share their dessert, their drinks, [...]
