From the time we are born until the time we die, we are changing. Not able to give a voice to the complaining. Things grow in places there hadn’t been things before. Scary, hairy, sore. Moods off. Height soars. Voice scores. Things level off. Your body rests. You know what to expect. Life flows. TimeContinue reading “Menopause”

Waste not. Want not: coffee
This is a poem I’m doing in stages to highlight the little things I do toward frugal living. Coffee. Nectar of God. You help me through another day. Upright and functional, you help me stay. What about your grounds? A use for you, I have found. Nutrients to the soil you will add. Helping myContinue reading “Waste not. Want not: coffee”
Waste not. Want not.
Waste not. Want not. Growing up; my daily life was filled with the saying, “waste not, want not.” When you’re young, what clue do you have in lives dot? As we grow; we learn, “money don’t grow on trees.” I save the salt from chocolate squeeze. To my stew you are added. Flavor has beenContinue reading “Waste not. Want not.”
Big Mouth
December 1998 Gemmy Industries invented Big Mouth Billy Bass the animatronic singing fish. He belted out “Take me to the River” in grand fashion. By the early 2000’s, Billy had us rolling in Wal-Mart aisles every where with laughter. I have an indoor dog, Chico. He is house broken which means many, many walks. IContinue reading “Big Mouth”
The distance between people –
“There’s an ocean between us. I’m in a barrel for a boat and I have a t-spoon for an oar.”
My Place
I know my place. I’m the loyal one. I know my place. I’m the dependable one. I know my place. I’m the one you know will be there. I know my place. Everything has a home. A space where it belongs. I know my place. I follow the rules. I know my place. I’m notContinue reading “My Place”
Really?!
Is there anything worse than standing in line at the grocery? Especially when you’re on your lunch break; every lane is taken by people with carts overflowing with food. Even the 15 items or less lanes. Heaven forbid that stores enforce the 15 items or less policy. Because we want the almighty dollar, we aren’tContinue reading “Really?!”
Working up a memory
I attend a writing class in my local community. Our assignment (if we chose to accept it) was to write about a memory. Fictional or non-fiction – it’s for the reader to mull over. What should I write about? Personally, I think it’s a cheat if you make up a story and say it’s aContinue reading “Working up a memory”
Scare Me
I was trying to find the perfect quote to tell you just how much you rock. When the Jack breaks from the semi scared me so bad, I dropped my phone in the floor and lost my train of thought.
A Friend for Life
Once upon a time, a story I did read. What type of friend you are, it did decree. The definition was plan. The type of friend you are was based on the time you did remain. There were several; I can’t remember them all. I will share what I can recall. If I remember correctly,Continue reading “A Friend for Life”
