Inevitable

“Have a look”, Joe said to his wife. “It won’t be long before the symbol of America as a safe welcoming place will be gone forever.”
“Thanks to the climate change deniers and the new administration”, Sue replied. “Too bad they acted the way they did, now we are all paying for it!”

  1. Children aside, do you celebrate your birthday/anniversary or is it just a normal day for you? The fam usually does something for me.
  2. Do/did you always give your child a birthday party when they were young? Yes always.
  3. Would you prefer to give your child a party, or take them and a few friends on a special outing? We’ve done both.
  4. If your child was born on Christmas Day (or a few days either side of the 25th), did they have a ‘half birthday’ in June, two presents/celebrations, or something else? One of my granddaughters was born on 12/23 so I send her bday early and Christmas on time.

Gratitude. I am grateful that regular soccer is over and new sessions outside of high school begin.

MLMM Wordle

***

The password refused to print on the bank website so it was back to redoing it. Finding a cromulent word for the premium site was an irritating job. Colorful words stumbled into my mind as I repeated the task. It was taking a toll on my fossil brain! Then finally it got into gear and I decided on the word shippo which means tail in Japanese.

Panic!

My daughter: E-mail: Are you not answering your phone? Sent from my iPhone

Texts:

I had a late shower, fixed a latte and washed dishes all apparently loud enough to not hear my phone ringing. I sit on my phone in the wheelchair when I’m moving about so sound was muffled. I caused a big panic and on Wednesday we’ll get an extra key made for my apartment—just in case🙄

I’ve always had my phone on me since I lived in my old apartment, when I used a scooter instead of a wc most of the time. I fell off the scooter which was heavy and I couldn’t push it away from me in order to get to the phone which was on the bureau so I had to take it apart. After that I could push the smaller pieces aside and I did that old hip exercise we used to do back in the 70s where you scoot along the floor and I was laughing as I did it. I wasn’t hurt but I had to get the phone in order to call someone to come and help me get back up so since then, I’ve always had the phone on me .

All is well and I turned the ringtone up🙄😂🥴😎

The Sunday Whirl

The singe of a summer sunset glimmered in the heat index of high nineties, as I began searching for a particular scarf needed when the air cools. Another hint of my advancing age felt as I straightened up too quickly beside the bureau and scraped my knee on the drawer. The demons of age visit often now.

Years ago I decided to reside near the sea where I could wade in the cerulean shallows with my also aged companion, Jeeves, my Irish wolfhound. The salt water trickles around our feet, and we see the bonfire is already glowing. All the mothers and grandmothers were arriving to celebrate Mother’s Day.

3TC – Flax

Only a trifle irritation as I boarded the train to see where flax and its byproduct bysuss was harvested. My intended destination was across the sea to a Mediterranean area named “the Fertile Crescent”, but the head of the household said our budget was not that big. The intrinsic value of a flax crop is amazing. It is a lifesaving source of food and the waving fronds suggest an almost biblical image. This fiber has many uses as a good source, such as food, clothing, twine, rope and oil from seeds. Canada, here. Come!

“Flaxseed is one of the oldest crops, having been cultivated since the beginning of civilization.”

“Flax is produced on about 12 million acres globally with the largest areas of production in Kazakhstan, Russia, Canada and China.”

“Flaxseed is emerging as an important functional food ingredient because of its rich contents of α-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber. Flaxseed oil, fibers and flax lignans have potential health benefits such as in reduction of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune and neurological disorders.”

Six Sentence Story

Surrounded by green, the forest is flush with ferns. We hadn’t bought this property with the idea of building on it, just wanted a piece of my family’s mountain. We didn’t see it before we plopped down the payment and we decided it was time to let our kids see the area where I grew up. We knew it had a fresh water spring and that’s about it. The dirt path substituting for a road led us into this scene from a fairytale. Thick with trees and huge delicate fern fronds up to my chest, it was as if I was dreaming.
