Babies Galore.

My niece just had her second baby boy at the hospital I volunteer at. I think that was pretty special. I seem to be writing a lot about babies. Any new babies in your life?

And One Angel

I had a dream my Grandfather and I went fishing. He had passed away a long time ago and I have never dreamed of him. This night we fished and caught some big fish. Then he had to introduce a young girl to me. I was confused about this; still I met her. Then as I started to have a conversation with her, my Grandfather walked away and was gone. The next day my Granddaughter called to announce her mother, my daughter, was going to have a baby the end of December. That would make 5 and one little angel in heaven in her family. Was my grandfather trying to tell me this? Did you ever have a similar dream? If you do tell my Grandfather Hello and ask him what is he doing in your dream. He does get around.

Hacked, sacked and whatever.

My email was compromised and all my email contacts were lucky enough to get advertisements for sex stuff. This is discouraging because most of my contacts are family and they think I am drinking boxed wine or doing drugs when I send them. Why does it have to be porn? Why can't it be something nice or helpful? (Sigh) Has this ever happened to you and what do you do?

Twins

I have heard that everyone has a twin or at least someone that resembles another person. I was in church sitting next to a person that resembled someone. I could not place him until he turned to see why I was staring at him. Then it dawned on me and I blurted out, "Hey! You look like Bernie Madoff!" He looked a little shocked and I got this feeling he did not know what to do but hitting me might have been one option. He said his name was, let us say, Harold and no relation to Bernie. He also said that to a few other people who must have heard me when I got the connection and began looking at us. I do not think I made a friend. Did you ever meet somebody who resembled another person or do you resemble one yourself? If you do be careful sometimes it is better to keep it to yourself.

Forgot anyone lately.

I was visiting my friends home and we were talking about how sometimes someone passes away and we wish we could have done more for them when they were alive. Sometimes visiting a grave is fine but it would have been better to have done something for them when they were alive. Life being so fragile sometimes we mean to and want to but then the unexpected happens and we lose them forever. So I came home and did do something for people that I wanted to remember while they were still alive. It was fun and made them and yes it made me feel better too! Do you know someone that is still alive and is someone you would like to thank?

Pass words.

I have a problem with passwords. These words I pass around to save on my computer to log in to certain sites. I know they are important to protect me from Internet harm, but I have so many I cannot keep track of them. I try to save them with my Internet saving password type tools, but every now and then I have to change them and they save my old password not the new one and I usually forget the new one. Then I try to retrieve these passwords and they ask me secret questions which I forgot the answer to. Do you have any solutions to this password delimna?

Easter Replay

On one arm was her 6 month old baby. The other arm held Easter packages, purse and car keys. Also with her was an argumentative 8 year old not getting into the back seat of the car. After a bit the child gets in the car under protest. She is ready to close the car door when she notices a woman cowering in the front seat. Yep another case of wrong car in store parking lot. Realizing her mistake she apoligizes to horrified stricken lady, then takes herself and her children and finds the correct vehicle. Do you identify with the driver or shopping mom?

Happy Everything!

Happy Easter, Spring, or whatever Holiday you are celebrating. I went to my ATM to get some extra holiday money. I was happy and in the holiday mood. My money was ejected from the machine and as I counted it and was checking my receipt, I ambled over to my car. Still reading the receipt I did not look up as I tried to open my car door. For some reason it did not open and I looked in my car and was shocked and horrified that there was someone sitting in my drivers seat. A split second later I realized something else. It was not my car. The person looked very afraid and I quickly shouted out I was sorry, wished him a happy Holiday and found my car, which was in back of me. Realizing I had a little yellow VW Beetle and he was in a big white chevy I yelled back to him, "Wow I wasn't even close." He kind of slumped down in his car and he looked like he was trying to hide. Did you ever have this happen to you during the Holiday?

Wind

The wind is at it again. It seems the wind is all over these days. It is making Tornado's in North Carolina, strong winds in Pennsylvania and a bunch of other states. To save parking spaces in the City of Scranton Pa. people put out garbage cans and cheap lawn chairs on the street; in front of their houses. I was weaving all over the road trying to avoid them today. I had to stop a few times and let them pass in front of my VW Bug as the wind blew them across the street. Plus it is The Bay of Pigs Anniversary and well that is another story. Are you taking precautions to be safe from the wind today?

Yes Veronica there is a Sun.

I came to work and was happy to report to the person I was to relieve. I was also happy to tell her that it was going to be 80 degrees tomorrow. She looked at me and hopefully asked, "Do you think it is true?" It was then I realized how hard the Winter was on everyone. I reassured her and she looked happily relieved. How was your Winter?

Think about it.

Why do we think about what we think about when we think about it?

Lost in a driveway.

I was in my car the other day opened the door and dropped my keys. I thought they fell and bounced under the car. I looked at the ground area by my car door and found nothing. Then I got out of the car and crawled around looking underneath the car. Still no keys. Then I noticed a stairway leading down to a basement near my car. I went up and down the steps and scowered the area. Having again finding nothing I started to panic a little because that was the only set of keys I had with me. I crawled under the car again and then stood by my opened car door. To my relieved suprise I found that my keys had somehow had fallen between the seat and door toward the back of the seat. I felt a little foolish but happy. Have you ever dropped your keys in a Church Parking lot as it was filling up with people going to church? If you did then you know about the stares people give you and the horns that beep at you when you are looking for them.

Cold Heads

Tis the season of colds it seems. I noticed a few people coughing, sneezing and just looking a bit like they are not up to par, so to speak. I also noticed lately that little toddlers talk like the just huffed a bit of helium. Such is the day. Are you well and not suffering from one of those cold heads?

Just need a friend

I was going to work and before I got in my little yellow VW bug to leave. I noticed a little boy, about 6, walking thru the neighborhood. He had his head hung low and was walking slow and looked a little sad. Just then another little boy came from behind the house and threw a little plastic ball at the little sad guy. The sad little boy perked up; smiled and began to laugh as he picked up the plastic ball and started chasing the other boy. All he needed was a friend. Do you know someone you could throw a little plastic ball at?

Spring thaw.

Well it seems the children where I live are getting Spring Fever. I noticed this in the town next to mine also. There the children in that town are lighting cars on fire to celebrate. In my neighbor hood they are just content to knock over bikes and stuff like that. Which is dangerous because the bikers get mad and hang them upside down by tying the offenders feet to tree limbs. Government workers usually cut them down before noon. A hello to my two followers of this blog. I appreciate you reading this and hope you are still enjoying my weekly writings. I use to write more but it takes me awhile longer to get out of trees than do the children. I don't turn over garbage or bikes I just made the mistake of laughing at the bikers because I thought they were taking these Spring antics too seriously. How do you celebrate Spring in your town?

Illusive itch

I get all snuggled in bed. Find the right spot after much tossing and turning. Fix the blankets and sheets just right and the pillow fluffed perfectly. Just on the verge of my sleepily land dreams it happens. I get an itch. On my foot. It had to pick the farthest part of me. I have to disturb everything that is making me comfortable. Which I do. Take care of the itch and try to get comfortable again. But nooooo. Now the itch begins to travel. It goes to the back of my leg, to my back,to my left arm then my right. It drives me to a wide awake state then stops. That is until I get comfortable again. Do you sometimes get an evil itch during the night?

Windy.

We have had some very windy days in Pennsylvania, where I live. It was very windy the other night and my metal trash can was blown away by the wind. I looked all over for it but it was gone. The good thing was it was empty so no garbage got blown around. The next night it was very windy again. Low and behold the next morning I woke up and the wind blew back my missing garbage can. It was standing upright on my landing and neatly full of garbage. Do you have winds that can do this?

Valentines Day

I don't usually get excited about valentines day being single and enjoying it. I was faced with some lovely ladies that lost their husbands this year. It is sad when people are married for a long time and then are all of a sudden alone again. I think it is more difficult being alone for a woman more than a man. Don't get me wrong men get lonely too but for some reason women seem to have it tougher. So... they invited me to dinner to keep them company for that now dreaded day just so they will have some company. They are good friends and I was friends with their husbands so we both miss them. Yes they have families but it is not the same as they would tell you. So I learned that Valentines day is more than a day for lovers. It is a good day to be a friend and share some times with them too. What do you do on Valentines day? I bet you can think of someone that may need a friend.

Volunteer

I volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House and I am hooked on the Burger King new Jalapino sandwich and iced coffee. I have a Ronald McDonald cup so the ice coffee is easy to hide but I have to eat the sandwich real fast. I kind of feel like a traitor but those sandwiches are really good. I like my job at Ronald McDonald's because I get to give away stuffed teddy bears to the little children and their smiles are priceless. Do you do things in work like this too?

Icy stuff

I have a small yellow 2000 VW Beetle. I really like it but it is real low to the ground and a few inches of snow makes for a little tricky driving. Do not get me wrong it does drive pretty well in the snow. Unfortunately we had an ice storm and I got iced in. It took me a few days to find a man with a plow to dig me out. I tried to find a woman with a plow first to be fair but I could not find her. Anyway he did a good job and I am back driving around. Do you know any women that owns a snow plow?
