   I remember seeing War of the Worlds and The Crawling Hand at the drive in. I was about 10. Apparently, I confused them together so I thought it was all one movie. Later when I saw the original War of the Worlds on tv, I kept looking for the crawling hand…

   My 12 month old son did the same thing. I chained the kitchen chairs to the table(a cheap kitchen set). Problem solved…..until a few months later when he decided to stack toys in the back yard to climb a 6 ft wooden fence to visit the dog next door……. Not an easy kid to corral

   You may be surprised to learn that someone with a certain form of synesthesia could actually smell the number 9

   I lost my husband 3 days after our 43rd anniversary. What I’m missing the most is the conversations we would have about little things happening in the neighborhood…no one to tell about the new streetlight on the highway, or the neighbor that finally put in a fence for her dog.

   And this January I lost my 91 year old mother so Mother’s Day this year is sad.

   The older you get, the fewer people are around that share your life experiences. That’s what’s hard, the holes left in your heart.

   The artwork on their costumes is great too. This has been fun.

   My grandchildren LOVE getting cards in the mail. To them it’s something special. I send the fancy ones. My sister sends me really pretty ones for my birthday and I keep them on a shelf. I have one on my dresser from my mother who recently passed. It takes work to show you care. So I hope Hallmark stays in business. Texting and emoji just don’t cut it.

   I guess urbex has been a part of juvenile exploration for a very long time. My brother, sister and I along with some neighbor kids were always exploring the LA storm drains in the San Gabriel valley 55 YEARS AGO. Being severely claustrophobic, I could only do the open ones. But I would follow on my bike and meet them down on Foothill Blvd several miles away. When I see the storms hitting that area now, it’s a wonder we survived. But then, it never rained in southern California.

   I got the nail polish package as well…immediately thought it was a scam attempt. It was, but not on me. Unscrupulous businesses on Amazon will ship innocuous items so they can show a “shipment” of their product and then post glowing reviews. Quite lucrative it seems.

   Even with a year after his passing, I still feel married. I can’t even imagine trying to find someone as perfect a partner as he was. I’m too old to “train” another one anyway. I miss him terribly.

    My husband of 43 years passed away last year…it is still very hard…while I am still having to learn to take care of the chores he did (cars, tractor, ATV), I am thankful to have survived him….he would have been so very lost with the general day to day life things even with our boys around, it breaks my heart to think about it.
