HERE WE GO, on any number of domains. What cry my dear and gentle readers. And of course it happened on any number of fronts. THE Front page news. (does any one say that anymore?) My guy who is making the patios and all manner of repairs, son called, saying that the gentleman was on his way to the heart hospital in St John. There are let me remind you 4 tons of tailings, and patio stones strewn about. Almost 24 hours later, I receive a call while on my way to purchase food to keep the fridge door from closing, and it is the man himself, sounding quiet chipper. His body was rejecting the stint, he is alright. NOW to find someone to complete the duties and responsibilities, while my mom is here, before the snow flies, as he is going to be off work for a while. The list stalled out.
Mom’s arrival was completely uneventful, in hand with a 46 pound suitcase, its contents all over the house in minutes. Supper on the table, within minutes, she was an hour behind and me an hour ahead, we hope to correct that soon, time traveling in out own ways, what fun. And we are OFF for the visit. After her tiny meal, which she did not want to share with Lucy btw, Mom, Lucy and I strolled around the block listening to the men club play old tired 60s music from their front balcony, from there, I tucked myself into bed. Having yearned for a nap all day.
Did I mention the 45 minutes of running thru the forests the night before. I have legs that won’t let me sit down, since, making calls of nature, difficult to accomplish.
Just when you thought there could be no more, there is. We upgraded computers and the diatribe is now being inscribed on a new system. At this moment in time just not sure how to save it or where. The tower for the thing does just that, towers. I now have extraordinary TV shows, and with that, anyone and everyone I announce this too, has all sorts of shows for me to watch, everything from Spanish soap operas to Australian lawyers and British Uncles. ( I am questioning why there are none about spinster ladies running bed and breakfasts, but I digress.)
part of the ordained Baptists leave today and we have for the duration, until his apt is ready on the first of the month, a gentleman, who has just returned from having his broken heart repaired, and diabetic to boot. Some Chinese arriving to replace, and more, as I turned the systems back on just to keep the chaos in place, and as we say, stay tuned. I am off to make Bread pudding. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr, Moi, Mom, Lucy P
