Now that I have free long distance I try to call my brother in Canada once a week. In ways that’s not so great because now hearing from me isn’t a treat and when we only talked a couple of times a year it was. But still, I love talking to him and I always hang [...]

This old heart
Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This old heart of mine has been through many transitions. It has been bruised, broken, stepped on, torn and has many scars. I’ve been through heartache of many kinds. I dearly love my children and my grandson has a big hold on my heart. However, I want to speak of my granddaughter. I don’t know [...]
The Interview
Posted in Uncategorized on October 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today is Sunday. The interview Friday went well. Of course if I’d have known what the questions would be I would have given better answers, but I have enough past experience that I believe my answers were adequate. I was interviewed by four women. They were very nice but it was still kind of intimidating. [...]
I have nothing to say . . . .

I get grief about not writing, but I think I should wait until the spirit “moves me.” I usually prefer to write about something that means something to me instead of just day-to-day stuff. Now I’ve written day-to-day stuff, but I reread what I’ve written and it seems so trivial and boring, that I’m not [...]
I can’t get on to others’ blog sites!

This is frustrating. I don’t know what to do about it as nothing I do seems to help. I used to have links to the sites but somehow they went away. Arrrggghh!
I did find out that I will continue to get unemployment for another 13 weeks. However, if I haven’t found a job by now [...]
What about that 13 week extension?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I got a letter today stating that after this week my unemployment benefits have run out. What happened to the 13 week extension? It wasn’t even mentioned in the letter. I certainly need that if I can get it because I haven’t found a job yet. It is making me a bit panicky but I [...]
It’s been awhile–again

It is hard to get on the computer when my granddaughter is here. She pesters me because she wants to be up here too. She’s napping now. Yesterday she didn’t nap, so I couldn’t get on.
Christopher has a broken foot. He tripped over one of the gates we have up to keep Lexie out of [...]
Time to Blog Again

Okay, it has been awhile again. Nothing has really been going on so I haven’t written. Last Sunday I met two of my sisters and we went shopping for the one to wear to her daughter’s wedding. We did find something. I do believe we could have done better, but some dresses she wouldn’t even [...]
Wild Animals as Pets

I saw this on TV the other night. I think it was “Dateline.” This man has property in Alaska (about 40 acres I believe) and he calls it “Bear Haven.” For 20 some years he goes there and spends the summer and has befriended many bears and feeds them regularly. He walks among them, lies [...]
Underdogs
Posted in Uncategorized on August 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I seem to always empathesize with and root for the underdog. I’m not sure why, maybe because I feel I’ve been somewhat of an underdog in my lifetime. I grew up poor, made some bad choices in my younger years and now here I sit, umemployed and no prospects.
I saw a program on TV about [...]
