WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY April 10, 2019

LEAVING AFTERNOON CAMP by Granny Annie

Sheila went to the hill-top hoping to gaze on a pride of lions resting below.

She had taken her dogs because she wasn't feeling all that brave.

She saw the adult male lion rolling in the tall grass as if he were a kitten. He heard

a twig snap under Sheila's foot and his sudden change of stance was very

decisive. This misstep had thrown a wrench in her plans of stealth.

Sheila began to shake as a bad feeling overtook her. She quickly was able

to scribble a note to attach to one of the dog's collars and gave it the

command to return to camp. Hopefully help would arrive to back her up.

The frightened woman held perfectly still and saw the huge king lion distracted by

a lovely flower and she thought of Ferdinand the bull who would rather smell

flowers than attack anyone. She moved away slowly and got back before

members of their party would be alarmed and try to come to her aid.

I AM GREAT

I am a great-grandmother. Our oldest grandson Joey, ( Ron's oldest grandson) is a new daddy. Oh how I wish Ron could see this beautiful great-grandson. Well, I'm betting he can:) Congratulations Joey and Melissa.  Cannot wait for more details.

DO YOU DON'T YOU

Question Of The Week 04-08-19

Do you plan your meals? Daily? Weekly? At all?

LOTS TO READ

messymimi's meanderings gives us a multitude of things to read on her blog every day.  Favorites of mine are the unknown holidays that she lists for the day.  Did you know today is Bell Bottoms Day?  This brought up the memory of why those pants left my wardrobe. 

The incident: My "then" husband dashed through an intersection with me riding on the back of our motorcycle. The sudden jerk (by the jerk) caused me to lose my balance.  My bell bottom trousers got caught in the foot peg.  I was hurled into the road but the bike peg held me and I was dragged for several feet. Many witnesses rushed to my side to make sure I was okay while my "then" husband was busy checking on the bike.

Ah sweet mysteries of life.  LOL

 

 

THE CANDY MAN CAN

Our courtship was perfect.  Filled with flowers, jewelry, cards, and candy. 

Always chocolate candy.  As the years went by, the other gifts may have fallen 

by the wayside but never the candy because we both had a passion for chocolate. 

It was the gift we could give each other on any occasion and know it would be hit. 

It troubled us so to have such chocolate addiction that Ron suggested we should 

try some herbal product that would curb our appetite for chocolate.  My response

was, “Then why go on living?”  We agreed and continued topping all our celebrations

with special chocolate goodness.

I sure miss my Candy Man:-( 

THE SINGLE OLD LADY

Life is good for this single old lady. My two girl pals, Slim and Frankie keep me moving opening and closing the doors to let them in and out.

My most recent excitement came from the 2019 Iditarod. Ron loved this annual race so much. Now it has become a favorite of mine. It is easy to understand his attraction to the 1,000 mile dog sled run.

What would a SOL (Single Old Lady) do without the internet? What would a SOL do without TV? The only reason for me to go out of the house is to take the trash container out to the road on Tuesday evening and bring it back in on Wednesday morning. The cats need food and the guinea fowl need their corn. Once those duties are performed, it is back inside.

Walmart grocery pickup has become a delight.  Orders made from my easy chair at home and then a quick run to town to have it loaded in my truck and then it's back home.

Now it is time to decide what is next. Maybe I will go to the Senior Center for a lunch of meatloaf and mashed potatoes or stay home and eat soup.
