Still holding you in my heart!
Trying to remember past Valentine's Days with you. If I remember right, we didn't ever make a big deal out of it. It was just another day, another opportunity to share our love together. We usually didn't go out on this day because of the crowds. So, we'd stay home & cook something special together. Roast beef & gravy made by me & mashed ( Read more... ) -
Happy 2014, Love!
Well another year has come & gone without you in my life. Many things stay the same. Thankfully many of your friends still think of me & sent Christmas cards. You, also received many birthday remembrances. So that touched my heart. Your friend, Allen sent a card with his phone number so I called him to say how much I appreciated that. He too ( Read more... ) -
Another birthday without you, Babe!
Turned the big seven oh today. I don't know why but I feel good about this new decade. I don't have all the answers, hell I don't even have all the questions yet. But I do know that one of the best things I ever did was to marry you & have those three strong, beautiful, talented girls. I recently had cataract surgery & while I was out of it, I ( Read more... ) -
Father's Day
Another Father's Day has come & gone. It is interesting to note that now after 16 months, my life is slowly getting back to normal, a "new" normal. For the first year after your passing, I was allowed to play the "grieving widow" card & lots of family & friends were there to help me over any rough spots (holidays, your birthday, our wedding ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year to all!
2013 has arrived. You would have been proud of our neighborhood. They kept up their tradition of fireworks long after midnight. I thought about calling to complain in honor of you but then figured what the hell. Let it be! This past year has been quite a challenge. Lots of regrets but I am learning to let them go. I know I wasn't a very good ( Read more... ) -

"Down and out in Paris": "Up and at em in Mexico". What I have done is create (assembled) a folder of maps, notes, brochures, post cards, and other printed material set in no predetermined order and I will now start at the top and work my way to the bottom in presenting this "account" of our recent visit to San Miguel de Allenda, GTO Mexico.

now that it's over
I have been slowly reading Howard Zin's "Peoples History of the US", I say slowly because it is a painful accounting of our inhumanity to man, nature and the gods. We, as a nation, have been involved, instrumental, in the continuation of a major war in the Middle East, a war aginst the people who live above a vast reserve of oil, for the control ( Read more... ) -
huh
What in the hell is going on with the Extreme Right, the Tea Baggers, the out and out dangerous troglodyte's that are crawling out of the caves of ignorance and greed? Are we facing the next civil war in America over assistance to the needy, the poor the sick and disabled co-citizens. I know there is a mass of right minded people living in this ( Read more... )
