Musings on anything.

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

In response to "Routines"

I think of it as a game. Some days you make great progress and some days the yard and house fly past you. As they try to sneak ahead, I catch them and warn them to not grow there. Some of them pay attention. The dust bunnies try to hide, but they can be chased out. A broom, vacuum and a hoe are the warrior's weapons.

All I can offer is "good luck" and "best wishes" that the troops stay in line. Maybe little vacations an hour or day at a time. And maybe the weeds and dust will take a short break with you. They're lazy without wind and water. Of course, that means you have to negotiate with Mother Nature.

It may not be fun until you make it so.

In response to "Safe Driving for Experienced Drivers"

It's probably a good refresher to take the course. Heck, I'd do it myself to save a couple of bucks on Insurance. Insurance is crazy in California. A lot of companies have left because our insurance laws are wild. Glad you have that option.

In response to "Low sodium Cooking"

Sounds like a pretty tasty dinner, although I have no idea how quinoa would impact the flavor. I, too, probably spend more time than is good for me at my computer - although, to be fair, just because my status is "Online" doesn't mean I'm actually in front of the screen - I get a bit of exercise chasing after my grandson. Do what you can to feel better, and to feel better about how you feel.

In response to "Cleaning Produce"

I had no idea fruits and veggies were so dirty. Yuck. I'm pretty good about washing my veggies & fruits too, but vinegar seems a bit extreme. I'd have to research it for myself to see what the benefits were and if the effort was worth it. Thanks for sharing. Food for thought!

In response to "where Do You Find Hope?"

Heck, I think all the above are great places to find hope. I can honestly say I've hope in Jesus, his words, his story. I can definitely find hope in my children. Nature, for me is more inspiring, but watching the Big Bear Eaglets and animals/birds in nature leaves me with good feelings and hopeful feelings.

People, when they do the right thing, always leave me with hope, I suppose because it's not easy to do the right thing. Someone lost their wallet in the grocery store parking. Did you turn it in and leave the money in there when you did?

For me, Good things, Good deeds, Small gestures of kindness leave hope. Positive actions leave hope. Reading a romance and getting that happy ending leave me hopeful.

I agree - hope is all around us if we open our eyes.

All the best
Steph

Gaining wisdom born from experience. Priceless. $$$$$

In response to "Minor Celebration"

I have 42 steps. Far too many if I have heart issues but my neighbor gets Meals-on-Wheels and I believe home-delivery of groceries. So... I could too if need be. I've thought about it.

I could do 7 steps one at a time. Maybe. I'm very careful bending over. I tend to sit when putting pants or socks on.

Behaving...

In response to "Absence"

Yep. The recuperation period is essential. The do's like walking, the don'ts like no driving. You seem prepared. I have 42 steps so I'd be bound to pacing this floor.

I tend to write when I'm bored and not traveling. I could catch up on that (which is what I've been doing this past week).

You don't mention the procedure but we have a wonderful place in town that puts in stents. I may need to have that done.

In response to "January and Decisions "

My neighbor, Jay, has had a pacemaker for years. He's young and has no choice so off to Seattle (11 hour drive) to get a new battery or something. He also got new teeth (full mouth replacement) and that has improved his quality of life. He's lived with the prospect of a short life for many years. He's a leather-worker. I wrote this for him:

STATIC

Leather [148]

First chapter: Jay dies often. But this death came early and unexpected.

In response to "Who Lives A Boring Life?"

My sister was playing two doors down and a hammock came down on her head and put a hole in it. Blood gushing everywhere. Our next door neighbor was fortunately visiting my mother (my mother never let anyone in!) and they took her to the doctor who lived at the corner of the main road and the street. He shaved off some hair and took care of it.

In between the adventures...

El Zorro

Anyone who read a few of my blog entries knows I am a TV addict. Hard to believe, as a young adult, I didn't even own a TV. I guess I am making up for lost time, since I mostly watch reruns.

I have to see Zorro whenever I can. It was a Disney show that my brothers and I watched as children. We only knew he always won and made a Z with his sword. Now I see that there is an ongoing theme. I record them so that I don't miss any episodes when I am out and about. Then I binge watch!

I don't know how I missed Guy Williams all these years. He was so handsome and genteel. He has passed away, but had two mega hits, Zorro and Lost In Space. He retired to Argentina after the second show, saying he had made enough income from two successful shows that he and his family could live happily the rest of his life. I had to research him, and discovered he was an excellent horseman and swordsman, perfect for Zorro. He couldn't sing though. Disney uses music from time to time, and there are some cute songs on the show. After the first time Zorro sang, they never let him do it again. He took guitar lessons from a world famous guitarist, but his singing was done by one of the men singing the theme song.

Zorro means fox. I was inspired to read a book written decades after the Disney version by Allende, a South American. It was very interesting and gave more of the history of California, throwing in a little history of Spain, and New Orleans. It is not a book for children, too much violence and horror. Disney apparently got their idea from a novel titled The Prisoner of Capistrano.
