The fawn and squirrel have been my yard companions this entire summer. 8-17-2019 Perryton, TX
No matter how hot the
temperature was these two little animals have always welcomed me to
sit in one of the chairs that share their place of peaceful, cool,
shady and interesting territory. It is always comfortable under this
huge apple tree that shades this spot. My yard has always been my
escape from boredom from inside. I am now facing the reality of not
being able to enjoy this little heaven much longer this summer. No
more grilling steaks, or hamburgers that always made Chuck, and I
smack our lips. I've always been one of those who think about having
to give something up long before it happens. That makes the dull days
much longer, and harder to endure. Why do we rush up the blah season
instead of making every minute of happy time count? I think we are
too anxious to get it over, and start back to watching the birds, and
touching the flowers. I am anxious to lose that constant fear of
being caught on the highway in a blizzard. I have always been a,
never take a chance, kind of person. My husband always said it
doesn't cost any more to run your car on a full tank of gas instead
of a half tank. My dad always told us children to never go near the
water till we learned how to swim. All seven of us never learned to
swim, and we never wanted to learn. To this day the bathtub is the
deepest water I ever risk my live in. With all this being said is it
any wonder after nearly seven years I still leave alone? I have too
many, what if's, in my part of any contract I might sign. I lived
with my husband for 64 years, and I doubt there was ever a day that I
wasn't challenged, but we always worked through our differences. He
made sure I could live without him financially, although he told the
doctor he was ready to go, but he hated to leave me. I believe he was
the winner.
I spent an hour talking to
one of my sisters this morning on the telephone. I spent another hour
talking to my daughter, and about thirty minutes talking to a sister
in Albuquerque. What a blessing to have these lovely gals in my life
to talk seriously with. I live far away from all of them, but thank
God for affordable telephone rates. I may live alone, but I'm but a
call away from many friends, and loved ones. Of course one of my sons
lives just a mile from me. He never married, so he has no family of
his own. But like me he has lots of friends, and affordable telephone
service. We share a lot of good memories, and he helps me eat the
good food I cook. My many friends are always ready to help me if they
are ever needed. Other than that I am doing fine in my comfort zone
with great television service.
God Bless
