The Bag Lady

So, what of April in this cold winter clime

Stroll undaunted seeing the smallest buds

Trees fighting the snow showers to peek through and blossom

Only to be frozen in place, dry and dying

Such a disappointing effort, but do we cry,

Harp against Mother Nature for her trickster ways?

No, because in this area of very short springs and summers

We still search for the crocus blade, and celebrate an occasional hardy daffodil.

Before when I used to wonder nervously and brood about my pale skin, feeling inadequate as everyone eyed the warm honey colored bodies on the beach, little did I know at the time, the beginning days of summer they were mostly spray tanned from a far away secreted salon. My goodness, I thought, being happy in the sun could be helped and enjoyed with a little can of paint!

MLMM Wordle #418

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Can you remember your first camera? I never had one. My husband’s first was a “Brownie”.
2.  Can you remember when you had your first mobile phone? 2012
3.  Can you remember your first car. If you don’t drive, can you remember your parents car? The car I learned to drive with was a pea green Volkswagen.
4.  What was your first job as an adult? On my 18th birthday I became an employee of USACRREL

Gratitude: As always I am grateful for my family’s love and support.

Share your World 31st March

Well my family thinks I will live forever, what a horrible thought – a raisined old woman lying around in a corner, occasionally dusted off, requiring no sustenance. Their determination is a result of my dying twice in hospitals. Now I just consulted a surgeon to repair an operation I had in 2015. Apparently he fitted the “ surgeon personality” well because he was a hurried advice giver, basically refusing to do a new op on me. He barely listened and interrupted my answers, deciding I am too fragile ( just because I am wheelchair bound!🙄😳) to withstand the op. My guess he doesn’t want to be blamed if I fail. I thought he was just being informative, but my family said he was an ass——! After getting upset on the drive home, I realized they were right. But, hey, I’m immortal, so will consult a different doc.

There once was a man named Magill

Enjoyed some friends with his still

The cops found them all

Arrested the haul

Now he’s left in a cell to chill.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Time travel is an interesting concept, whether to travel to the past or try to embrace the future. I think my preference would be to spend a first few days after I married, enjoying my husband.

shyness gone

enjoy together

touch embraced

lost love rest in peace

revisit – delight

We all know he is flush

His Oval Office always plush

His acts would make us all blush…

We need to change this!
