Just One of Those Nice Days


Just One Of Those Nice Days

Elaine, Dolores, Ross and I started off the day by having breakfast at our local diner.  We heard that two popular personalities from our local radio station were going to be broadcasting from the diner.




Dennis & Judy 

Boo cuz they wouldn’t give a "Ciao to Uncle Bobby”.
We met Ray the prize guy.  The only “prize” he gave us, though was a coffee refill.

After breakfast we went to the beach.  Oh, first I had to go home and get a battery for my camera so that I could take these pics.

I have created a page for Anna's Diary.  It can be found under the Tab titled Anna's Diary.
I have posted all of the entries to date there, starting with January 1, 1929.


Here is today's entry from Anna's Diary:
Sat., May 4, 1929
Went to Broad to see Helen Menken play in Congai.  Very wonderful.  Had supper downtown and Jean, Edythe and I went to Shubert to see Rio Rita.  Enjoyed it. 

[Helen Menken was married to Humphrey Bogart from 1926-1928. Congai was a play.  Rio Rita was a film.]

    I'm very disappointed that those radio personalities could not spare a "ciao Uncle Bobby." But I love the photos as always and the video at the end was like a little cherry on top. :)

How's The New Place?

 Sunday, August 4, 2024 "How's the new place?" they ask.  Some might wonder how I could  not  love the "new place".   After all it's cute, right?  Reminiscent of a little New England style cottage.  Everyone who visits always comments on how cozy the "new place" feels.  "It's low maintenance, gated security, plenty of activities available and clubs to join," they say.  I am trying to love the "new place".  I've dressed it up with curtains and carpets.  I'm in the process of giving the kitchen a face lift with shiny new cabinets.  I've hung Ross' prized artwork and displayed his precious thrift store finds.   All of the furniture here in the "new place" is the furniture I brought with me from our old place.  I've re-arranged the living room a hundred times. I placed the "Big Toe" flower pot, the one that always made us smile, under the front yard tree and had the landscaping redone. Bu...

   The Two Beds The Two Beds Tuesday, February 7, 2023   It’s early, 5:31 a.m. to be exact and still very dark. Shadows of light streaming in from night-lights streak the walls.   Lying in the middle of the Big Bed, I’m tired but wide awake.  Ross is peacefully sleeping in the bed next to me. It's a narrow bed with cold chrome metal rails. I can hear his quiet breathing, in and out, in and out.   I am thinking of the last time we were together in the Big Bed.  It too was early morning, a few weeks ago. twenty-six days to be exact.     I was snuggled up to him, my arms across his thin bony chest.    I painfully recall that I was softly crying, murmuring  a lot of “I’m sorries”.   “I’m sorry I got angry,” I whispered.    “It’s just that I’m tired, so tired.”    "I'm so sorry."  All that week Ross had been particularly restless during the day but even more so at night.   That night I woke in...

Reflections - A to Z Blogging Challenge

Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2015 Last month I participated in the “ Blogging from A-Z Challenge ” What was it? I blogged everyday beginning on April first with a topic themed on something with the letter A , then on April second another topic with the letter  B  as the theme, and so on and finished on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter  Z .   The theme of the day was the letter scheduled for that day. My theme was short fictional (well mostly fictional) stories about women.  Each woman’s name began with the appropriate letter of the alphabet for that day. Today ’s post is a reflection of my experience with the A-Z challenge. I have participated in this challenged since 2012.  So this was my fourth time. This year, as in years past,  instead of having all 26 posts written ahead of time,  I wrote my posts just one or two days before the specified letter day. Doing it this way provided me with...
