I think many of us harden our hearts after being betrayed, I know I did. It took a long time for me to trust Vic and to fall in love again. Sadly, there are times I'm still uneasy .
I admit, each day I grow more and more confused. Why take a stable economy and throw it into chaos? I keep waiting for some justification of the actions that would make sense.
My husband takes his phone everywhere. He gets so frustrated with me because I always keep my phone in vibrate mode and if I'm not near it I don't hear it. I use my phone more for pictures than actual phone calls. My Iphone takes incredible pictures and a lot easier to carry with me than my Nikon.
Like your hubby when I am out walking I do carry my phone so they can find me if needed. This growing old isn't what I was led to believe.

It's funny. I don't remember TV playing a big part in my life growing up. After all, I spent most of the day (when not at school) outside playing with friends.
I do remember we had a black and white TV (I was hooked on Batman) back in the 60's. I can't recall when we got a color TV. Fast forward to 2025--my wife and I watch a 98" TV.
Oh, and that $1000 TV in 1954 is the equivalent to almost $12,000 today. What a TV you could buy for $12,000.
That's a very good point - it makes no sense to single out one month. I'm guessing she was referring to those parts of the world where March represents the beginning of Spring rather than Autumn, new beginnings etc., but even then, it's a bit of a sweeping statement.
Nothing ever goes truly to plan does it? - well said!
I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.
Use these words in your entry today: literature, reason, coma, half, go, curl and determine.
When we speak of literature people’s thoughts may go immediately to the great writers and poets. But literature covers so many things. There’s low brow, pulp fiction, comics and newspapers, it’s all literature. Some say they never read. Of course that’s not true. It can’t be. Everyone has a reason to read. The contents of a bottle or can, or the ingredients needed for a recipe. It would be terrible not to be able to read for some reason.I know there are many who struggle to read and I have volunteered to assist people with reading, which I found to be very satisfying. There’s nothing nicer than to curl up with a good book on a cold rainy day. Or at night in bed, before slipping into a sleepy coma, to read a few chapters. I often determine I will read more books, as all writers should, but half my reading time is taken up with WdC!
Use these random words in your entry: tactic, soak, cow, issue, tax, heavy, and strong.
On my daily walk I often see a cow, in fact two cows now she’s had her calf. We don’t live anywhere near a farm; we live in bush where there’s little to no grass in the summer. When this neighbour bought the cow, I thought it wouldn’t be happy or have enough to eat. Yet I’ve been proved wrong, she has no issue at all with her surroundings, she loves it in her orchard along with her friend the white horse and has since given birth to a cute calf which is now getting heavy and strong. She is happier though in the winter when some grass grows amongst the trees and the rain can soak the ground, which must be better for her hoofs. I did wonder if the neighbour had decided to purchase the cow as some kind of tactic to avoid paying land tax on a vacant piece of land, declaring it as being used for farming. Who knows? But the sight each day of her big brown eyes when she comes to the fence with her horsey friend brightens my walk.
