For "Older Folks" who find it difficult to keep up with this generation!

It is very difficult to be "cool" when you are no longer that! I will just continue to be myself and hope that someone will enjoy my experiences! Join me, you seniors!

Children and heartaches

I would like to make a comment on Sherry's blog, even tho I am banned from there. Your daughter's problem sounds very much like Toxic Shock Syndrome. I have had several people I know experience this and know the symptoms. Does your daughter wear artificial fingernails? That can be a huge culprit.

My own son is recuperating from his 2nd hip replacement and this time he had to have a new femur. He is doing nicely and is back to work now for Wells Fargo.

I am so terribly busy this time of year, and this year, without a hubby to contribute. I prefer to spend my time in the yard but sooner or later I need to face the inside of the house! Today I was delivered another new t.v. (identical to the bedroom t.v.) this one is for the living room and to replace DH's 35 year old Sony console, (which still works!). Now I do not have to go to bed to watch t.v. My older DVD is with the new tv, leaving the BluRay in the bedroom. I still do not savvy the Bluray, anyone want to buy it? I am too old to wrack my brain over something so trivial!!

I have passed the 1st aniversary of my husband's sudden death. We all react differently. He was my soul mate and my best friend, so I am still hurting badly. 'Keep trying to find something to look forward to! Meanwhile I have a pleasant home to live in and I have no money problems. Joe was very generous with me, without being stupid. He knew what he was doing when we made our our Wills.. If I see something I want, I buy it. Right now my big priority is new windows for this house. Our 135 mph wind gusts are hard on the windows, so I need to switch to vinyl that have more "give". Hopefully the new windows will outlast me!! Owning a home is a big responsibility and very expensive! I take a certain pride in this house and do my best to take good care of it and be creative so that it looks nice, inside and out!

My only advice to those who have lost (or are losing) loved ones, is: Move on. YOU are still here. The guilt will go away in time, but not without it's stabbing reminders. We did the best we could with what we knew at the time. Find something to look forward to. "There is a reason for everything under the sun".

  1. Sherry, my heart bleeds for you. I am so sorry. I cannot post on your blog, so I am posting it on my own. Be sure and keep us all updated. Your little girl was so young, what did they find out?
