Sunday Selections #754
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.
A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.
Nothing rude or vulgar though.
And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.
The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.
Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.
Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.
They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch
three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his naturalisation certificate, as well as the photocopy mum gave me last century.
Andrew recently showed off his favourite pen, here are a few of mine, called "Jeststream" they write so smoothly. I've had these for several years now and don't often use them, but they are still as smooth as when I frst bought them.
We took a road trip to Port Pirie again to check on our sister J who is now 76 and I wandered around a shopping centre where I found it is possible to buy a "thinking cap" while R caught up with an old mate.
I had another clogged drain and when the plumber was unblocking it a piece of the pipe broke on the underside, you can see the half-moon of it lying there. We taped it up with gaffer tape...
which didn't work at all, you can see the water from my sink running down and puddling in the garden. She reported the break and asked for a work order to be drawn up to repair the pipe. That was three weeks ago now and nothing has yet been done, and because the upstairs sink also empties into this pipe (and my garden now) it's become quite swampy out there.
here's a pretty little geranium, in different shades
pink with white, white with pink
all on the same bush.
You all remember the twins have three older brothers? The middle brother recently had an accident with his bike
and broke two ankle bones! Apparently most kids break an arm or a collarbone when coming off their bike, but not this time.
this is last Thursday's sunrise, taken by "no-one" on her way to work.
here are the twins "walking" their "bikes" up the driveway slope,
then lifting their feet and rolling back down
both girls giving a "thumbs up"
declaring it to be great fun.
While I was in Port Pirie, the girls mum sent me this, turn your sound up and I hope it plays.
Even after arriving home again I was still smiling from that.
Those little girls are enough to make anyone smile. I love your hair, by the way.
ReplyDeletejabblog; the girls are so sweet. My hair always looks great the day after I wash it, then it soon becomes a big fuzzy mess.
DeleteYou look radiant ✨️ 💛 Beautiful flowers 💐 too.
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; thank you.
DeleteWhen you find a good pen, you never want to let it go! I had three favorites when I was teaching, and never left them out on my desk, lest a student "borrow" one. The loaner pens and pencils were on the front of the desk. I used my favorites until they ran out of ink, and then a search ensued for a new favorite. The girls' serenade has me smiling, too. Sorry for their bother's OOPSIE. That looks painful, and swollen. Does he have to stay off of it, or is a walking cast possible? Any surgery needed? I wish him a speedy recovery, so he can get back on his bike.
ReplyDeleteVal; that's so true about the pen, really good ones are hard to find. I was really surprised to hear the girls sing Happy Birthday. The brother does have to stay off his foot for six weeks, he had surgery with plates and screws now on both sides of the ankle and most of the swelling has gone down, so he has a plaster cast on it, he got to choose the colour and decided on blue. He will eventually get a walking cast, but in the meantime he gets schoolwork sent home so he doesn't get too far behind.
DeleteI thought a broken ankle was a relatively easy injury to recover from. But NO! Because even months after the cast comes off, the weight when walking is hard to distribute equally.
ReplyDeletehels; that's true and it's even harder for people on the heavier side, like this boy is. He is using his mum's spare wheelchair to get around at the moment, they've had a few chair races up and down the length of the sunroom.
DeleteOuch on the ankle. Of course you were smiling. How could you not? Love the geranium too and that skyscape.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I immediately remembered how painful a badly sprained ankle was and hoped the brother has decent pain relief. He has. He's a great kid and managing well. I smiled all day and am still smiling when I think of the girls singing to me. There are many geraniums around here and that is one of the prettiest. The skyscape is worthy of being framed I think.
DeleteAww, that was lovely work by the girls. I wonder if the Thinking Cap would deter people from speaking to you.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; thank you, their speech is increasing very fast now and the song was a nice surprise. They love to sing along with their favourite movies. Maybe people would be more inclined to ask what I'm thinking about? I didn't buy the cap anyway, it was too large for my head and too expensive.
DeleteNo es ningún secreto que tengo una relación muy profunda y personal con Dios. He resistido esa relación este último año a pesar de todas las tonterías que he tenido que soportar viviendo con herpes, pero una vez más, Dios es más grande que mi terquedad y me ayudó a superar ese brote, con herpes labial incluido, que tenía herpes genital. Personalmente, escuchar una y otra vez que no soy lo suficientemente buena me ha invadido la mente de la peor manera posible. Me cerré por completo y me despertaba pensando: "¿Así va a terminar la vida, con este brote temporal de herpes?". "Que se jodan todos los que tienen herpes, si sabes a qué me refiero". Pero seamos honestos... Es cobarde decir que no a la medicina herbal. Se basa en el miedo. Y es deshonesto con lo que mi corazón desea. No te atrincheres por miedo a las hierbas o a dar un paso audaz, especialmente cuando se trata de problemas de salud y de curarte. Tantos hombres/mujeres jóvenes me dicen una y otra vez que el Dr. Jekawo me va a estafar, pero hoy lo intento. Siento que nadie me convencerá nunca sobre la medicina herbal. Acepto la medicina herbal del Dr. Jekawo porque curó mi herpes solo dos semanas después de beberla y he estado viviendo durante un año y meses y ahora no experimento más brotes. Puede contactarlo si necesita su medicina herbal para enfermedades como herpes, Parkinson, diabetes, hepatitis, síndrome, cánceres, VIH, epilepsia, infertilidad y cualquier tipo de enfermedad e infecciones. Hechizo de amor. Correo electrónico: drjekawo@gmail.com y luego www.drjekawo.com. Mi consejo para cualquier hombre/mujer enfermo es simple... Siempre sea un libro abierto. Sea desgarrador, honesto acerca de usted mismo, su situación y lo que es. No se guarde nada. Contenerse no le llevará a ninguna parte... tal vez un boleto de ida a Lonelyville, y ese NO es un lugar en el que quiera estar. Así que mi verdad final... y apenas estoy empezando a comprenderla
