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.

In response to "Work Ethic"

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.

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.

Day 8

Being the youngest in the family and the only girl, I was rather spoiled and didn’t find the need to be secretive or naughty very often. However I had a passion for reading and used to sneak off with a book to get out of doing chores. We lived semi rurally so there was always somewhere to hide away down in the orchard where I could truly say I hadn’t heard anyone calling for me.
At night when I was supposed to be asleep I would read into the early hours. Only sometimes would my mother catch me and confiscate my precious reading matter.

Day seven 30 DBC. Lost talent

Day 7, 30 Day Blogging Challenge.

I would have loved to have been famous. Haha 😂

It often makes me wonder if a talent such as singing or acting is a learned art or does one have to be born with the talent?
I have an okay voice, but could I have been a GREAT singer, if my parents had sent me for singing classes?
After three children and several other grandchildren, along came Beth. She is ME! I have been able to wallow in her successes as she sings and acts her way through life. At aged eighteen she applied and was accepted into West Australia Performing Arts academy. This is the same place as Heath Ledger and many other famous stars perfected their arts.
To my great disappointment Beth decided to go to University after only a year at WAPA to get her teaching degree but she is now head of the arts department at a boys college where she teaches drama. Her dream job. I’m so proud. Beth and I share our appreciation of the arts and go to see all the musical productions together.
So although I would have loved to have been a wonderful singer, pianist, actor, dancer etc it was not to be. Sighs
