Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.

Nice entry.

Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

It's like the apple in the garden, too tempting to avoid and look what happened after that.

Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

Listen here.

PROMPT January 16th

In your entry today, write about something you overheard while eavesdropping on a conversation you were not a part of. As part of “Creation Saturday,” you choose whether the conversation you write about is real or fake! Encourage discussion in your comments section - do your readers think your story is real or not?

I’m the sort of person who would actually hate to hear anything said about me behind my back. Even if it was something flattering. I always make sure people know I’m within hearing distance.

However, quite a few years ago, I did overhear a conversation, one which I wished I hadn’t.

It was on a Saturday night at the greyhound track. The year was 1979. I really do remember the year because my twins were having their sixth birthday. The loved going to the track. I know it sounds as if it wasn’t a suitable venue, but their was children’s rides there and a kid friendly restaurant where we had dinner.
Under lights, watching the dogs leave their traps and chase the lure is a lovely thing to watch. The lure is a pretend bunny. No cruelty involved.
Anyway I’d made my selection in the sixth race and was standing in the queue ready to place my bet. Behind me two men were discussing the race and they seemed sure which dog was going to win. I even suspected inside knowledge such were their convictions.
Of course I changed my selection and placed more than my usual five dollars. My original pick won at twenty to one. Serves me right for eavesdropping.

This is really true. Do you believe me?
