Back from the dentist...it was a looooong appt. I now have a temp cap and my permanent one will be put on next Thursday. So, no flossing there, no water pik, no sticky food (which i don't eat often so i don't care) etc etc for the next week. I'll be eating lots of fruit, overnight oats and stuff. I'm happy with that. I'm not the biggest meat eater and really don't care if i have any.

She was, i agree with you, Gary.

Thursday...Meh “Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” —Lucille Ball (1911-1989) actress, producer i think this could be true...

Wednesday.. Dentist tomorrow. Dog walking this afternoon. My morning walk now. And this.. have a good day everyone. “Those who wish to sing, always find a song.” —Swedish Proverb

i remember this. It is a wonderful story of love and challenge, hate and change. If you haven't read it, take a few minutes and do. You will not regret a moment. And then read everything Parker has posted here. He's an amazing writer.

I look at people's work and then decide if I can read it. Nicknames are a matter of personal choice/need for privacy, they are not an indicator of talent.

Happy Tuesday. i am just want to say to friends here whose work i usually read...i will. I'm struggling a bit with reading much of anything and while a few weeks ago i could read and was writing A LOT, i'm lucky if i can get thru a sentence.. and then i reread them i just delete them. i think if i could look at my brain (and i dont want to) it would be scrambled eggs. So i just want to say i have not forgotten you and i'll get there eventually. Now have a good day.

The Monday After ... oooh could be a title… Anyway, after a lovely weekend. We ended up at a nice party on Saturday and went for a visit on Sunday, and walked a lot. The weather was perfect. Hope everyone got to do something nice as well. Have a great day today. “No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the horizon of the spirit.” —Helen Keller (1880-1968) author, lecturer, activist

Saturday. Double batch of apple brownies is on the To-Do List. One for the freezer....they freeze well. Have a good one.

Enjoy writing. Sometimes, you just have to write what you need to write. It's better out than in... who said that? LOL “Everyone has a right to peaceful coexistence, the basic personal freedoms, the alleviation of suffering, and the opportunity to lead a productive life.” —Jimmy Carter (born 1924) 39th President of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Happy Thursday...i get to go to the dentist. Dental office called! My dentist is very sick and won't be in today...i get to go next week at 11:20am on Wednesday. @Gary L England won, it was a pretty good game. I enjoyed the Portugal- DR Congo game ... Portugal didn't enjoy it so much because they drew with DR Congo...as evidenced by their behaviour near the end. I'm not a fan of Ronaldo, time for him to retire (without a World Cup win). In any case, time for me to get a move on. Don't want to be late. (yes, yes i really do..lol) So, the dog is here for part of the day and then we have him tomorrow and overnight so his owner can go out and party. It's rather grey and there was the loudest thunder last night. It woke up everyone from what i've heard but it was odd and didn't sound like thunder it was more like a bomb or explosion of some sort. Doggo didn't like that much i was told. Anyway... have a good day. I've got a lil backpack to finish and maybe i can get some writing in.

Happy Wednesday.

“May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” —Peter Marshall (1902-1949) Former Chaplain of the United States Senate This seems to have been forgotten by, oh, EVERYONE! It's very breezy and i'd say cold. We needed blankets on the bed last night and today i have socks on and clothes. LOL Have a good Monday.

It wasn't a bad day weather wise. Got kinda warm at 5pm.. It's a little cooler now. We didn't put the air on today, but the fans are working hard. Let's hope continues to behave for a little while longer.

Michael read they drank all the booze on the plane and are now working on pubs and restaurants in the city.. lol

Happy Saturday from me and Michael...we will be watching the World Cup and baseball today I think.. we'll squeeze in a few walks too. Have a good one!!

Looking forward to reading them!! 🧡

Happy Friday. I'm off to the grocery store after walking the dog. It's breezy and nice at the moment. With humidity under 90%. That's a bonus. “When opportunity knocks, get the door!” —Luke Bryan (born 1976) American country music singer, songwriter, and television personality Hmm, Luke seems to be one of those happy, optimistic kinda people ... maybe i should try that. LOL.

This is a touching and beautiful poem. I wish You never had to write it, but i'm glad you have. xo

Happy HOT Thursday.. not hot in a good way... “All endings are beginnings, we just don't know it at the time.” —Mitch Albom (born 1958) Author, screenwriter, musician

I read Libby's article when it first posted, it's full of excellent advice. i love to write short stories, they are my preference. I have a hard time with large multi chaptered stories, they take too long, in my opinion. When I'm reading i enjoy short stories and collections of same but i also like a good long novel.

You could offer to arm wrestle him for the berries. Or give him a share.. lol

i asked once and they said, We can't take out healthy teeth. So, sorry that won't work.

So a while ago i broke a tooth. The dentist rebuilt it and said we should really cap this. So, we sent off the estimate, it came back last week, i went today.. this is going to take a long time.. today they took an impression and now i will go back next week for something and then he said likely the following week as well. I had to get a bridge a couple of years ago.. it took nearly 5 months with all the stuff that needed to be done and dentist vacations. erg.
