The Bag Lady

A lively quagmire erupted in my kitchen as I vented my frustration in having dropped the kettle. Luckily it was only partially filled with cooled water from the night before. As I do every morning I pick it up from the stove and scoot over to the sink to refill. (The choices made in my so called ADA apartment are regular height shelves and appliances.) Sometimes my arms in burnout mode and they don’t cooperate. This was one of those days and the kettle hit the side of the sink which separated the parts and a mess resulted. I’ve since replaced the kettle with a lighter version much easier to handle.

I remember reading this book to my kids but a real snow day was a delight. My grandchildren were trudging through snow yesterday playing with the dogs and all I wanted to do was be there with them, just flopping down to make a snow angel. Growing up in Vermont, snow was constant and deep and fun! I miss it. Looking out my door today my patio is covered in about four feet of white beauty. The parking lot is full; no one is going anywhere☃️

Hunkered down in deep snow, decided to watch an old favorite, “Batman Begins”. Although my favorite Batman movie is the original with Michael Keaton, this is equally good but darker as most characters in the WB universe heroes are.

At least that’s what I’m calling it😅. I sliced an apple, tossed with cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar and spread out a half roll of crescent roll dough on Pan’s foil, covered and baked. Not bad for a lazy cook😉

Take a moment, follow the simple sugar sweet of writing. Forget the frantic chains of every day life. Observe the string of dry kindling worries piled in front of you. Ignite it with the spark of imagination ever present on the fringe of your mind. Let flames of creativity singe and burn them away–the unkept promises and sadness, leave it all in ashy ruin.

Pink misty hues seen in the east with grey snow warning clouds coming from the west. The morning colors fade and brighten when the sun peeks out as if to say, “don’t worry, I won’t be gone long.”

The morning vista was a notice from WordPress telling me I started blogging five years ago. Woohoo! A life saver at best and a pita at worst, love it! ❤️

She was no mainstream beauty

Prim and proper she believed was her duty

On the visual side she competed with kings

But her mouth often brought on a jinx

She voiced her opinions loud and strong

Resulting in only a short time on the throne.

A year of not going out to shop in stores, or to our small mall which is emptying as we speak, and other small businesses boarded up, there’s not a lot to be found here in Cheyenne. Non maskers everywhere because of our weak kneed governor and congresspeople, except for Liz Chaney who had their b—-to stand up and vote to impeach T. You’re not going to change these good ol’ boys minds no matter what. But I digress. Wait! Thought I was done? Dream on! I think those congresspeople who did not vote for the relief package and stalled so long should not receive the benefits of it. Maybe then their constituents would consider voting differently. JMO.

Going on to my personal year which unlike most of you, was not entirely different than my usual. I live alone in a small apartment and have my daughter and husband, grandkids close in the downtown area. I keep my cel phone by my side in case I need anything because there is always someone who can come to my aid if needed. I could not attend my oldest grandson’s wedding in June which was a huge disappointment, and two of my granddaughters couldn’t have a regular college graduation, and no high school graduation which all happened this year, but we all survived. The birthday get togethers were all skipped until my 18 year old grandson had his this month.

We are healthy and that is such a blessing, we can’t really feel bad for ourselves. It’s the lack of government under T and his followers who aided in the over 520,000 deaths from Covid and is still climbing. Acting for himself only, ignored expert and scientific evidence to curtail any early efforts to contain the virus and even now his people are pushing the limits again. This is the “Jaws” version for those people–it’s not safe to. . .

I take solace in my small space with blogging–reading yours, writing mine, and keeping in touch by email with distant family. I hope you all have a good weekend. We were told that snow would deluge our area and so far it’s only a hazy misty morning. Yesterday my daughter and husband came to make sure I had everything I need for a week just in case. Gotta love ’em🥰❤️👍🏻
