I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

She never thought of herself as vain but she wanted to hear him say it again. He always obliged, so enamored he was, and sang the familiar refrain:

VAIN
REFRAIN

Diversity

The vibrant indelible colors on the pride flag possess an inimitable statement: diversity.

The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
The sky held the image of a huge ghost-like mouth accompanied by the boom of thunder. I was never afraid of thunder before but this spring the storms seemed louder and even ominous. Birds fluttered away from their nests to take cover in the bushes. Rodents were scuffling to find a sheltering hole to crawl into. As I hurried inside my door at last, my temples were bursting, my steps weaving and I plopped down on the nearest chair. The air was thick with unexplainable fear. I think I’ve been reading too many Stephen King stories!

EM Sunday Ramble

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Here are the questions:

  1. Are there any applications on your mobile device, tablets, etc. that you cannot live without? Feel free to ramble about them! Maybe we will learn new apps that will become important in our own lives.
  2. Do you prefer Apple or Android?
  3. Windows OS or MacOS?
  4. What do you wish that you would have placed in a time capsule 15+ years ago to have access to now?
  5. When you think of the what the world will look like 50 years from now, what does that future look like through your eyes? Go as sci-fi and/or fantasy as you would like and ramble on however you wish to ramble 🙂

An app I like on my iPad is Boy Howdy Free Jigsaw Puzzles. No ads and lovely pics to choose from.

I like Apple for its compatibility with iPad and iPhone. Before I had this phone I loved my Samsung Android which had some features I miss, such as the bottom clear all tab and the backup feature.

I have no idea but probably basically the same with less good air, less animals and plant life, and worse radical personalities.

Her pleasing smile, was beautifully bathed in the glow of the sun. My query was on the tip of my tongue but could I actually fulfill my intentions? We took off our sandals and walked along the edge of the salt water. I finally took her palm in mine and asked the most important question I would ever ask.

After the Funeral

“Gonna cook up a messastuff”, Grammie said with determination. “Them mourners’ll be comin’, gotta be ready!”
Grammie got out all the pots, banging them down on the stove.
“I’ll help, where’s the recipe!”
“Huh?” She laughed.

“Besame Mucho” – Andrea Bocelli – 2015

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion —
kiss me as if this were to be
our very last night.
Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion —
for you I may nevermore see
once past early light.

I want to hold you so closely,
look into your eyes to find
you mirroring me.
I’m sure dawn will find me lonely
cast away so far behind
where you then will be.

Kiss me now
kiss me with passion —
fearing tomorrow I’ll lose you
past dawn’s early light; —
and I may forever lose you, —
forever lose you. — — —

Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion —
kiss me as if this were to be
our very last night.
Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion —
for you I may never-more see
once past early light.
