Gardening, music, life with MS
Chinese Fringe Flower ShrubLoropetalum I have always been a gardener. When we moved here from NY, I had to familiarize myself with all new species. One of those new species was the Chinese Fringe Flower. This was one of the landscape shrubs already on the property. It had been planted next to the house as […]
5/20 I’m reading this book, “This Terrible Beauty,” by Katrin Schumann. It is about Germany at the end of WWII and the separation between East and West Germany. It’s mostly about the East, the Russian led side. It travels to America and back again, following a young girls journey until adulthood. Anyway there are a […]
5/19 Well yesterday I went to the doctor. I have esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophagus caused by a pill. I got some medicine and hopefully it’ll be gone in a week. Better than anything I’ve become a grandmother again yesterday, May 18; 6 lbs. 8 ounces, 19 inches long, beautiful baby girl! She’s in […]
5/15 After two weeks of excruciating pain, yesterday I had a root canal. I’ve never looked forward to a dental procedure as much as this. I’ve also been dealing with another physical problem. I have a pain in the middle of my chest. It feels like something is blocked. When I eat, it is worse. […]

He had a lifelong career but initially made his mark in the 50’s. I’ve only experienced him on TV but I’ll never forget his energy and talent. There is nothing like […]
5/10 Watching the news is so depressing. This whole Corona virus and most of the nation out of work and businesses closing. There are no easy answers. One of the things that upset me the most is the violence associated with wearing face masks. People have died, been murdered, trying to enforce this simple rule. […]
5/9/20 Last fall we went to see Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience. I’ve love Led Zeppelin since I discovered them in 1975 in high school, (another story). I wanted to see this band because it had John Bonham’s son leading it. I had some doubts on who the singer might be. Seriously, who could live […]
5/8/20 I received a catalog today. A clothing catalog, (I receive ALOT of catalogs and magazines!) Anyway, I saw a few things I really like and would love to order. BUT have you ever looked at clothes in a catalog and loved things BUT again, they were for a former you! For 30 years I […]
