Generosity

What a perfect word today since I am feeling heaps of generosity from my family. They came by last night and took my laundry and trash and helped setup a few things I can’t reach. My new place does not have a stove or washer yet—they will be ADA appliances but everything else is in. The dumpster fir trash is huge and tall and I can’t access it so the management is supposed to make an adjustment of some kind to arrange for someone to pick up my trash😳. That person is just going to love me.🥺🙄

All is arranged quite differently here and it takes an old lady some time to figure out a new routine, because as some of you probably know—even after fifty you develop daily habits/routines. Try varying yours and see what happens😂

Abundance

It is with abundance

We miss the important details

Concentrate on the absurd

When a broom should be used

To clear the insignificant

And realize what really matters.

The Sunday Whirl

***

“This is a gift from the gods”, Joe said to his host McKenna, who at the time had a bear in the crosshairs of his rifle. Joe took in a deep breath of mountain air. Seeing nature up close for the first time, took out his digital camera for a quick photo and then began scribbling on his sketch pad, capturing the scene before him. He cast his gaze to the bear, apparently not bothered by their closeness. The afternoon light revealed a multicolored shine on the bear’s black fur. Joe craved a closer view, but tour guide McKenna’s eyes, and taut grip on the rifle, made him think he was close enough.

MLMM Wordle #271

***

Marion seemed wistful as she marked another year, always bending to the myriad of changes in her body. Her lover never seemed to falter in his admiration of her nakedness. Their love life continued to be a lively triumph in their relationship.

James never wanted her to paint her face, or have any features changed with a lift. Even in her hiemal years he saw her as green as when they first met, fifty years before.

JuJoJa 2 – Surprise 🪑

Gobbledygook

Joe loved antiques, I’m telling you he loved the old stuff—scarred, moldy, scratched—he didn’t care as long as it was made before the last century. If Joe spied what he thought was a bargain, it looked all the more pleasing to him.

Matilda did not have this passion. Being Joe’s mate, she would sometimes insinuate his choice of furniture was just gobbledygook, labeled as a priceless antique.

As Joe brought home another piece of unneeded furniture, Matilda was about to blow her top. Joe surprised her by turning the chair upside down and showing her the inscription: Thomas Chippendale.

Chilled

***

I hear the hot air fanning

Seems it almost sings

Ringing like a cash register

Ca-Ching Ca-Ching Ca-Ching!

I really like cold weather

Love the beauty of the snow

But these winds?

They have got to go.

Even in the afternoon

When sun beams are the best

It hardly makes a dent

Even coming from the West

I guess I’ll have to shop

Buy long Johns for under my clothes

Might try these mukluks

To try to save my toes

It’s only January, still a while to go

Time to gear up, enjoy the temps at 10 below!
