My wife put a For Sale sign on my car this morning. I sold it to night. That puts me a foot, dependent on others. But I knew all this. However, I’ve got/had issues and good sense makes me think it is time to quit. Still it makes me a liittle sad.
My driveway sits empty. I no longer own a vehicle that I can run out to, start it up and go pick up a six pack. I have a gorgeous tree hanging over my back fence fence, filled with white blooms. I suppose I say that or think it every year.
It is hard for me to get a decent shot of anything because it is hard for me to move around. I have no lung power any longer and I have no reserve. But here’s a couple of shots out my window.
Bill, my father had a word he used often to describe people he liked. He would say, "So and so is a real card." Did you ever hear that expression? [If you call someone a card, it means they're funny or quick-witted.]
@Bill Boggs , I wonder if they are Bradford Pear trees? They are blooming here now. There are also some kind of wild trees with white blooms blooming now. I have no idea what they are but they sure are pretty.
No, Shirley, it bears no fruit. I thought it a fruitless mullberry but I probaley wouldn't know one, it was just a guess. @Shirley Martin
Here it is almost noon and I am still in bed. I wish I could get imterested in something. Life seems to go better when one has a few interests. I don't recall what I was thinking that prompted that remark. What were some of my last thoughts? I remember wondering how many members this forum actually has. could we muster up twenty-five members? Twenty? I think we are showing some six hundred, plus, but what is our average number on line? Five, seven, nine? It doesn't really matter. I was wondering, that's all. I know people come and go as has been said. What else was I thinking beside lack of interest and ,embership? My son said he was trying to go to the grocery store less. He is preparing to do all his teaching online as mandated by the university.. My granddaughter is glad. She says she hates school although she is scheduled to graduate in May being barely seventeen years old. My daughter in law is stuck in Italy, having gone there when her dad was placed in the hospital and their family doctor said he would not live much longer. She got to Italy a week before he died. And now, believe it or not , she will be teaching Italian online from Patensa, Italy. Not knowing when she will get back into this country, she is hunkered down trying to make the best of a bad thing. I sat outside in the sun a while yesterday. My neighbor on the east seems to have an extra car in his drive way. Of course it is mine that he bought from me. I wanted to tap my way over there and tell him he got a bad deal. That old ford is a gas guzzlier and I'd give him his money back if he was dis satisfied. And with all non essential jobs closed down he is out of work. No work, no pay. And he has seven kids, three of them still at home, in grade school. The neighbor on my west is a school teacher. She has gone back to work, teaching online. Two other neighbors are out of work. The only one working that I know, works at Tinker Air Force Bace and his job is considered essential. If this post is too long, or too rambling, or too anything feel free to delete it. I am feeling better and felt the need to Do something and this is about all I can do at the moment.
