Gardening, music, life with MS
Back to NY again, for our granddaughters 2nd birthday! I am thrilled that we’ve gotten to spend time with her twice in the past two months. Her party was on Saturday, the 21st, and her real birthday was on Wednesday, the 18th, which is when we arrived in Westchester. We arrived in NY on Sunday, […]
I’m still out in the garden every day that the weather cooperates. I have one more bed to clean up. This is the big perennial bed in the front. I have cleaned up most of the perimeter but I need to get into the interior, which is very hard with my mobility issues. Anyway…. everytime […]
My question is, “Are celebrities who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis inspirations to me or other non-celebrity people who have MS; or are they inspirations to people who do not have MS and feel their stories are inspirational for them?” I bring this up because recently Selma Blair was on the Today Show and […]
This is the second year that I have not received a card from my son. I am very hurt by this. He and his family are in Disneyworld right now. I didn’t receive a phone call until 9 pm. By that time my hurt had turned into anger, (as it frequently does). He apologized and […]
Here we go, tada……140.2. Again I am not consciously dieting. With P being away I don’t eat as much, which proves to me a few things: 1) that I stress eat; 2) He always brings home treats, candy, pizza, etc.; 3) I feel pressure to cook when he’s home. The main problem is me! I […]
I have been watching the exodus of people from Ukraine. As with any fleeing their homeland because of war or persecution, my heart goes out to them. As I understand it, we, meaning America, (USA) have committed to providing asylum to 100,000 Ukrainians, as we should. This is where my mind starts to wonder. South […]
Paul McCartney began in 2022 tour in Oakland, CA. I was told that he was singing with John and I had to see for myself. I saw videos, (just one), of him singing “I’ve Got a Feeling,” with John singing his part on a big screen in the background. The footage was from the rooftop […]
I feel I need to write this post because I have stated over and over again the horribleness of my marriage. P was in Brussels for a week, last week. I had a good week without him, I always do. When he came home, he was actually pretty nice. He took me food shopping, and […]
This is one of my favorite times of the year! Everything is starting to grow and the early blooms are coming out. The Iris, Lungwort, Clematis and Columbine are blooming, (The Columbine have also started popping up throughout the garden). The Peony has many buds, as do the roses. The Coneflowers, Scabiosa, Salvia, Hosta and […]
Please don’t lie to me anymore! This past weekend, I went to CVS to get a new passport picture taken so I can renew my passport. The young lady was very nice and took three pictures. When I didn’t like any of them, she gladly took three more. Needless to say, I didn’t like any. […]
