We had an Early-Early weekend this week.  Early-Early is what I tell Foxy when we got to bed early on Friday night.  E-E means we got to bed at 9 Friday night(Early) and get up at 4 Saturday...

Once again I'm going through a period of cell phone envy.  I was doing okay until my aunt died and I was around my little sister, my cousin and her daughter and friends.  All of them had an I-Phone...

She is gone.  My aunt died this afternoon after fighting for many weeks.  Her granddaughter  called to give me the news.  I told her, "Well, she's in a better place".  It is one of the many...

I'm losing my second mom.  It may be today, tomorrow, or the next few days.  She's been a tough old bird the last year or so as she battled one health problem after another, plus supporting her...

I have a friend here who seems to always be down.  She writes long journals that are always sad.  I've read all of them since we became friends, but have been unable to respond.  She has been and...

Have been taken of metformin! 

I've had a few thoughts recently(Yes, I do have them ever so often.)  It's gotten to the point that these and others from the past have filled up all the space in my small brain and I'm afraid I...

Mrs. Byron would have a profound affect on my life. She was from Brooklyn, New York. How she got to Waco, Texas I’ll never know. She had the Brooklyn accent that I seemed to catch. Add that my best...

The "uniform" for boys in 1952 was a short sleeve shirt, heavily starched, dark blue jeans with reinforced knees and three inch cuffs, and black high topped, white rubber soled U.S. Keds tennis...

Well, I think I figured out how to transfer my book to my journal.  The first installment is the journal before this one.  Look for EDS and a number to read them. 

There are so many memories of school, especially elementary. It was my good luck or bad luck, never to go to an old school or old school building. From elementary school through high school, a new...

Well, I finally read all my old journals.  Even though I'd deleted some, there was a lot of them.  I've been around since 2007.  Its amazing how much I wrote.  Since I discussed my diseases in...
