Looking back Down the Road.

On these days that are turning cold and rainy finds me looking back on my life.  A feeling of sadness soon follows as I visit old places and memories.  Its just bits and pieces of this and that, here and there.  I don't hardly ever try to pick a place or time.  They just come out at me.  I find myself more alone as I get older.  I like it better and don't want to be trifled with trying to make friends and be sociable.   I just do better on my own.  I have always been that way and never had more than a couple of good friends that were close at any given time.

It's almost funny how I used to wish I had time to travel or to fish or this or that but all I do is stay close to home and read or sit and think.  Sleeping is a blessing.  I hate to awake.  Dear will be the day when I don't.

Mom's Visit

I had a wonderful surprise this past week when my Mom, Sister Sharon and Aunt Roberta came up for a visit.  It was so great to have them here.  Pin Pin didn't know what to think of these new people in her house but she eventually warmed up to them and was a sweet little dog.  She loved Mom.  We took a drive around town and they got to meet my son Woodrow who had never met his biological Grand Mother,Aunt or Great Aunt.  The time past quickly and they had to go home. Wow how we missed them.  PinPin stood at the gate all day waiting for them to come back.  I felt sad and missed them more than anyone could know.  I look forward to the day I visit Mom again.  It will come.

What's up Doc?

I had pneumonia back in May and now it has reared it's ugly head once more.  Sure changes things when you find yourself sick.  Health is something we take for granted.  The Dr says my heart is enlarged and I need to be seen by a cardiologist.  Seeing that heart problems run in my family I take this serious and hope it will be ok.  Have to wait and find out.
