In response to "Writing, baking and the joys of getting older"

Yearly tests with all the worry about passing would be daunting.

The smell of freshly baked cakes is something my nostrils can sense even behind this screen. I also did a lot of baking over the years for family. Kids are grown and I stopped doing that much baking. Over time I cut most of the sweets out of my life. Now I can't really eat them because it's not appealing anymore. It affects my palate in a way some people would feel with something very sour like sucking a lemon.

I figured, with diabetes in my family's history I'm only helping to avoid it by declining sweets. So far, so good.

Writers do feel strongly about their stories.

I've been really terrible about editing stories I wrote for a contest that had potential, but then I got bored with editing since the contest ended, and I moved on to newer things.

Have you tried posting your story or stories up to 3 on "The Shameless "Plug" Page"

?

Also, You could request a review from another member who has their review request turned on.

Those yearly tests are probably keeping folks alive. I often ask folks about when they are going to give up their keys. We are fortunate to have alternatives in this town.

I forgot about this contest. I've entered in the past.

Although such events as the one you witnessed can be horrifying, it’s also a privilege to see Nature in the raw, isn’t it?

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do have a very pleasant time on a Wednesday morning each week. There’s something about an all female group of writers that’s different to a mixed group. We’re all very sensitive to each other’s feelings whilst not afraid to comment and suggest ways to improve our writing. We’re very lucky.

Sounds lovely! Those photos are beautiful. I love the the little cottages. What a pleasant time you ladies must have had in that venue. 1896 cottage.

My house dates back to the late 1830's. I call it my money pit, though!

How beautiful the backdrop is with the local inhabitants. Kangaroos, and exotic birds!

Marilyn is quite the iconic name for a pig. I love how your mother decided that based on the swaying hips.

Nasty guy hitting poor Marilyn! So glad your mom stepped up and told him what's what.

This was a sweet story. I could picture proud Mama Marilyn trying to feed a Baker's Dozen worth of piglets.

Talk about power-Mom!

It’s been a sad day today. A dear friend of mine has passed away. She left us, as her mind deteriorated, almost two years ago. The dementia slowly took her away. Now her earthly body has gone.
My feelings were mixed when her partner told me yesterday that Yvonne would die today.
She had fallen and suffered a brain bleed. Her partner had to make the decision to turn off the oxygen this morning. I was relieved it wasn’t me who was asked to make the decision, but knew in my heart I would have made the same choice.

Of course events such as this causes one to reflect on one’s own life and death choices. In Australia we are allowed to choose and request euthanasia, if one has a limited time to live. This law was passed only after years of campaigning on both sides of the debate and a referendum. Many are still against the law but I agree with it.
A few weeks ago we made the decision to have our old dog put to sleep after seeing her suffer seizure after seizure. Although we were upset and sad it was so peaceful to die like she did. She was totally relaxed as we fed her treats and gave her kisses. We told her what a lovely friend she’d been to us and thanked her.
That is how I wish to leave this earth, not in pain but with my family by my side.

So I farewell my friend Yvonne and hope she’s found the peace she deserves.
