Hi all.. for what ever reason in a Billion Trillion Stars and days of time.. we are who we are.. from the minute that spark of life happens to the last breath.. we have the God given ability to choose Daily by the minute what we are Who we are and how we will continue on...
with Ed being sick so much the hospital we spend vacations at .. no kidding kids... has a couple of great chaplains.. that will stop and sit with me for as long as I need them to share... one is Greek he is such a grand gent.. One is Jewish makes me wish for my Great Aunt so much.. one is Christian and she is the wisest of the group.. you are so grounded how can you believe and hold your belief so tight no matter what is floating around you.. for she was with me two years ago when a dark form sat not far from me and I would chat for a bit and then turn and say very firmly " Not on my Watch.. He is not going anywhere just yet...... she wanted to know what or whom I was saying that too. My Dear Heart do you believe in Death and that something or someone will come to get you when its your time...... she froze in place.. Why Jesus will.. that is your hearts belief I asked.. she nodded.. you hold tight to that .. for I see the dark form that is waiting for my Eddie Lee. and in 26 years I have as a Hand Maid fought him and won. but I grow tried and old and he knows that one day I will not have the fight that I had at 42 for the first time we met... Ardith Ann she sighed.. don't please I said.. for my belief goes back to a day when as a small child I saw him for the first time and then a bright light came and stood at the foot of my Great Grands bed.. and he had to back away... her Mom came and took her home.. I have seen him stand in a corner and watch for me.. 4 times in my life.. when I was 18 and had my first cancer.. in 1968..when my car accident happened in 1990 and Grand Dad Ivan sat for 4 days before I became real again.. lady in the bed across from me... Lady I don't know who or what you are but I thank God right this minute for you opening yours eyes and the old man and the dark form fading away..... when my back went in 1997 in florida and about 5 weeks ago when the chemical we were using for our floors almost took my mind heart and soul while I was at work...
Life... how do we do what we do everyday.. everyminute and why.. my Grand Dad Ralph used to say.. little one sometimes you just need to keep looking at the daisy for that is real and now .. the rest will never have answer and yet maybe in the time after we are ... will give you that answer.. miss my Grand pa Ralph this minute so much.. love and prayers for a better tomorrow ardy..

I love your stories, Ardy.
Makes me yearn for a Grandparent I never had.

Sore. Stretching the sore parts so I can go move some more boxes around and get sorer.

Just took my youngest to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Enjoyed it much more than I had expected to. Tomorrow its Pete's Dragon, which i am looking forward to.

Had a complete meltdown on the way there -- not her, me. Threw all my toys out of the pram over traffic -- really, are you 2?? Gotta work on that.

But if we were perfect, what would our kids have to complain about.

Last night it was my 23 year old and friends for dinner before a big night on the town -- theirs, not mine, was fun. Reminded me of my youth.

Shout out from Antwerp to the pasture.

I'm waiting for my housemates to wake up from their naps so we can have a cigar and watch TV. Our tenants just went back to Australia for a month. "When the Tenant's away, those who pollute the air with second-hand smoke will play!"

Loved Pete's Dragon. Just cooked for friends, was nice, but lots of work.

Think I do more than I should sometimes. Gonna think on that in 2017.

Hows things in the pasture.-?

Hi Dropsie et al;

Just checking in--this is my end-of-semester grading slam so sorry I've been scarce of late.

Sun is shining and I have seen Blue Jays, assorted Woodpeckers, Titmice, Cardinals, and several types of Sparrows so far this morning.

It's very cold--I've got the woodstove cranked up and am on my second bulletproof coffee.
I've been scouring e-bay in free moments putting together a "craft package" of leather / knife blanks / exotic wood remnants for my spouse.

He's been doing very well with his sobriety and attitude--physically 120% better as well.
He designs / makes beautiful things but hasn't in quite awhile, so I'm resetting his supplies for a nice X-mas surprise.

I enjoy buying things for others more than me, but I guess to be honest I don't neglect myself either. . . this year it's been trail running gear.

So I'm much more upbeat compared to even a month ago, when I was in despair and contemplating drastic action to live alcohol-free.
Funny how quickly things can change. . .getting the booze out of your life for good is incredibly liberating.

What's up in Cowtown?

Hawkeye,

That is great to hear -- I am so happy for you and Mr. Hawkeye.

Mr. Dropsie is the most normal drinker I know so nothing to tell there, but it means he does not get it -- which is OK by me -- getting it has much too high a sticker price in my book.

Love to think of you with your fire, your birds and your papers and a big red pen.

XXX
