I took Mother for her routine checkup this morning. Her heart, lungs, vital signs, and weight were perfect. In fact, at one hundred twenty-seven pounds, she weighs one pound less than when she married. She’s in great shape for a sixty-year-old, absolutely phenomenal for a lady well-past eighty. She’d had to fast for her lab, so she was ravenously hungry. I pulled in to the nearest restaurant to get her some breakfast, in the interest of survival.

Daily Life in Greenwood, Louisiana
Written in response to challenge from OM on Harsh Reality. Greenwood, Louisiana suits me. The weather is good. The company is excellent, generally laidback and fun-loving Most of my family is there.

Don’t Let Me Catch You!
First Grade School Picture
Tommy got me in a lot of trouble. Oh, not the usual boy and girl trouble you’re thinking of. Three years older and much worldlier, he fed me jokes like a gambler shoveling quarters in a slot machine. Most of the time, they sailed right over my head, but Tommy made it clear theses were high humor and bore repeating. By the time I was six, I was Continue reading
Are You Healthy Enough for…You Know?
