Artsy Fartsy

This week I’ve been trying to transform to a morning person. I think a new sleep pattern will help me sleep in the night when we are supposed to sleep. I tend to stay up late and sleep late, if I sleep at all.  Many, many nights I lay in bed until it starts getting … Continue reading Artsy Fartsy

Marriage hopes

Before I type anything else, let it be known, that I would like to marry Anthony Hopkins.  I am aware that he is already married, but in the event he becomes unmarried I’d like a shot.  Even at his advanced age, because let’s face it, I am also of an advanced age. Although he is … Continue reading Marriage hopes

Plant Milkweed and other thoughts

It’s Friday. Time for my report. Here’s what’s been happening this week: My back is so much better.  The pain has localized into like a side “stitch” kinda thing. I mean, Advil is still my friend, but compared to last week I can’t believe how much better I feel. I read something I thought interesting … Continue reading Plant Milkweed and other thoughts

I’m not old

I was very teary leading up to the return flight back home here to Pittsburgh.  I did not want to leave SF. The whole trip couldn’t have been nicer.  I’m looking for houses in Yountville 😉 One here in Pittsburgh and one there.  Plenty of people do that, why can’t I? If only I was … Continue reading I’m not old

I left my heart..

I am writing this on Wednesday but will do something fancy so it doesn’t post until Friday, striving to stay on schedule. By the time this is posted it will be day 2 of my SF (that’s San Francisco) visit with my son Jimmy and his fiancé Emily.  I’m going with Jimmy’s dad, John. Jimmy’s … Continue reading I left my heart..

It’s Friday

In the old days I had a reminder on Fridays to blog.  I totally ignored it. But last week after I posted a blog (after a 2 month hiatus) on a Friday, and then Janelly said she missed my blogs, I thought “maybe I’ll try blogging on Fridays again” – just for Janelly. And then … Continue reading It’s Friday

Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

I was on a call today about promoting my book.  You know the one, the only one, Finally Florida. Which led me to look at Goodreads, which led me to update my Books Read page which led me to the fact that I have an Author page which showed me that this blog is connected … Continue reading Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

Step away from the mirror

Nora Ephron wrote a book called I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. I haven’t read it so I just now bought it. I do not like my neck either and as a matter of fact I’m starting to look into that Cryofacial stuff.  Freezing fat.  I recently learned … Continue reading Step away from the mirror

What are you doing?

My mother asks me every day, several times a day, what I’m doing.  Yesterday, when I was visiting, she asked me many times, “what are you doing tomorrow?” I know as the adult person I am, and the 91-year-old that she is, that she is just trying to make conversation, and she has forgotten what … Continue reading What are you doing?

City Living

I would like to write a mystery novel.  I’ve started watching “The Last Thing He Told Me” on Apple and after two episodes I’m writing twists and turns in my head on how I think this story could go.  It’s not really a fun quality as I’m constantly trying to figure it out, from episode … Continue reading City Living
