The plan was to spend the day having a hospital room picnic at my aunt’s bedside. She had surgery last Tuesday and a few complications afterwards. She’s feeling pretty good today and hoping to be released soon. I woke with a bit of a fever this morning, along with nausea and a splitting headache...

Just before sunset last night my cousin looked out the kitchen window and noticed that three of the cats were sitting in a circle staring at something just outside the fenced back yard. Three of the dogs were just inside the fence, focusing their gazes on the same area. We went out to investigate an...

Yay me! I remembered Self Portrait Sunday while it’s still Sunday! I got up this morning & got dressed, hoping to meet up sometime today with my sister. Alas, she had to work, so I was all dressed up with no place to go. Just as well, because I needed a day to rest and recoup. I’ve been spending...

Can anyone tell me what these flowers are? They sprang up spontaneously in my cousin’s yard a few years ago. When she saw their blooms she decided to transplant some into her garden and they’ve been thriving ever since. They bloom in a variety of colors, from purest white to varying shades of ...

It’s dark and dreary today. We had a heavy storm overnight and are now enjoying a respite. I’ve just looked at the local weather radar and see that the bigger part of the storm system is still headed our way. (I’m close to Ennis on the map above. The storm is southwest of us and moving in a no...

One of the bonuses of having online friends is that we sometimes get to meet in real life. Today I met Laurie Pooh. She lives up to her name - very huggable like a Pooh Bear! And yes - her eyes really are that blue! We had a delightful time over Cajun Food, but both of us thought my Dirty Rice tast...

Mahalo to all of you who have asked how Lance is doing. He tolerated the flight from Honolulu to Dallas well, though he was a little subdued for a few days afterwards. His weight-loss continued for the first week or so that we were here, but I think he’s actually gaining a little of it back now. I...

Not the greatest picture, but I wanted to show off my great-niece, Lily. Today was the second time I’ve been with her. The first time she wanted nothing to do with me. Today she let me feed her then decided I was okay for lap time. She doesn’t take well to strangers, so I’m happy with the prog...

Yes, I’m as tired as I look. I was burning leaves until the sun went down. I took my photo right after I came in, which was right before I took a nice long shower. I’m feeling refreshed and a lot less gritty and smokey, but no less tired. I’m a little wired up, though, so maybe I’ll watch so...

Care to take a guess who’s the youngest of the siblings? Wrong! That old man is my baby brother. No one is sure why he keeps maturing while I stay so young and good looking. Lady Clarirol and a good moisturizer, I suppose. Still, no matter what our ages, we’ve never been able to deny a familial...
