David picked me up today and brought me on an errand run so I could get everything done before the storm.  In the middle  of the errands we went to  the Canal and got to watch the swans aswimming.  Brought my entire system down to where it belonged. Can't wait to be able to do this  on my own.  Should be able to by Wednesday.   So  nice. Thank you, Annie.


 



We got everything I need for food while I get snowed in. I have 2 desires  for using my snow days.  I'm going to do some visual art and I am going  to  start up on my poetry manuscript again.  I am centering my time for a couple days on creative pursuits. I am stating that as  an intentional  goal.  
I have a car in my driveway.  I have a sweet car in my driveway.  It won't be mine or legal probably until Wednesday, but it is here in my driveway.  So nice.  


Over the past week I have thought of a few stories I want to tell.   A Queen's Narrative has a submission call out that I think I am going to respond to.   I'm  going to try and write one more story narrative  and decide whether there   is a collection of them that I need  to put together.   Any of you who know  me and think there's a  story I should write, let me know.


I did not get to meet with the group that is interested in my play today.  They had to reschedule.  I was disappointed,  but I don't mind  having  another week to think about it. Wouldn't it be exciting to  go to the theater to see a production of my play that someone else  produced? So cool.



 

This is my car.  I am so awed by the support and the donations that Kevin's GoFundMe got. It is so  overwhelming to believe that people from the  last 70 years of my life  participated in this effort.  Really, 72 years.  I want  to tell stories about my relationships  with them all, tell stories about the exceptional people who fill my life, truly, wonderful.  Thank you everyone.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.
