It took longer

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 16 Sep

The trip to visit with my sister started at 10 and ended at 8 pm. I'm exhausted and I wasn't the one who dealt with traffic. We did stop for a quick lunch at a Thai cafe. Reality really smacked me when I decided it was time to...

Don't know

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 12 Sep

I'm clueless. I just make choices and hope nobody gets hurt. I looked and looked again and checked out photos. I discussed the photos and the dates with daughter. Then I went on line and booked a Phoenix hotel for three days....

A companionable day

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 9 Sep

I can hear hubby and friend chatting on the front porch. I am deeply happy he is visiting. My hubby and friend have known each other over sixty years!!! Amazes me. They could chat on the phone or send emails but the old...

Thinking we have a date

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 7 Sep

Either I was foolish or intelligent or smart. I went on Nextdoor and announced to the world that hubby and I would pay a safe driver for their taking us to see my sister. This is the sister who developed dementia- the sister who...

Just amazing

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 5 Sep

Autumn rain has arrived in my corner of the world. Hubby basically wanted to have a meet and greet with a new to him Doc yesterday. Did that. Today I managed to get Fred cat into the carrier. I really need to fork some cash...

Written a long while ago

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 4 Sep

There's a sliver in my foot's flesh the palm there that part that feels my weight smack down-hard down on gravel there's a mirror image of the killdeer a tattoo of the woodpecker's drum the scream from the worm as its impaled....

I don't like that word

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 3 Sep

Another gooney survey this morning. I worked hard, spent at least twenty minutes on it and boom, you don't qualify. The word in the used context ticked me off a bit. "investment". Investment in beauty?? I understand investment...

What does money buy?

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 1 Sep

Money buys time. A few more months, perhaps four, if God allows. We took Beau Teak in to the Vet for another recheck this afternoon. Hubby went with me this time. The bottom line: Beau has congestive heart failure. He is a...

Good things

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 28 Aug

I just saw a report about incarcerated women who are involved in an endangered butterfly project. Totally made me smile. The women are saving butterflies. Good for the planet and good for the women. Last night's poetry reading...

Maybe so

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 27 Aug

Whoa the weather feels like Autumn in my corner. Yesterday we had temps above the 80s and summer. Today we barely hit 70 with a teeny bit of gray rain. Both hubby and I made it to the pool this morning. Then we drove north to...

My kind of fun

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 26 Aug

I wonder how many people speak with a store's owner or head honcho these days? A few months ago a well meaning friend gave me a lamp "because it goes with your house." Pushy friend. NO. The lamp does not go with my house. It...

Thinking ahead

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 23 Aug

Next Thursday and Friday won't be dull days. Or maybe they will be? Hubby happens to be blind. Fine. When we were younger it never meant that much to either of us. Now we are doing what every body does. We are aging. Hubby...

Silly boy Peter is okay

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 22 Aug

This is going to sound very racist about dog breeds. It's the truth cause I was there tonight getting my heart thumped. All of us were out back, Rufus on his long tether cause the cats were outside. Hubby and I were on the...

Something discovered

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 21 Aug

In this age of bamboozlement, my sister gives me Robert Frost; those soft pages a reminder to fall never mind the landing just wheel away into the wind deafened to the sound of fired guns. I ran into this poem that I wrote seven...

One more photo of the jetty an the Pacific ocean should show up with this post. Lovely afternoon today. It feels like autumn to me but hubby says it is summer still. We ate our supper sitting out on the backyard swing. We had...

Sunday question

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 17 Aug

Has anyone here attended a Quaker meeting? Quakers or the Society of Friends intrigue me. Their belief that everybody is sacred sounds like a core belief to me. They remind me of The Unitarians but they don't have a minister up...

What a day for Beau Teak Siamese. He has been coughing more and more. Last night he stayed near me, never leaving. This morning I called his Doc. They had an opening this morning so I drove him through rain and wind. She said...

I'm not sure what this is

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 14 Aug

We're home! Got home just in time to watch rain clouds come in. Blessed life giving rain. We managed to find a lovely junk shop. It was at the end of all the touristy shops- eat my ice cream! Come buy my mass produced...

She's a keeper

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 10 Aug

Gardening Buddy agreed to come care for the felines while we are away. She is a keeper for sure. Fred cat is a timid cat. Buddy was standing in the kitchen talking to me, thinking about things like remembering to attempt to get...

straightening out or not

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66027) • Centralia, Washington 7 Aug

I got a phone call last night from the gym: hubby owes us money. What!? He is on the same insurance plan as me. He called the Silver Sneakers folks this morning. They said he wasn't on that plan anymore. Another what!? We...
