He celebrated his last birthday twenty years ago tomorrow, February 3, 2004. I use the word ‘celebrate’ loosely. Yes, there were balloons, cards, flowers, visits, phone calls, all the makings of a celebration, but… He was in a hospital room, losing the battle with acute rejection of a lung he had received three years earlier.… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Jack

During those times when I idle away hours playing games on my laptop, I begin to think about inane subjects, particularly after the doglets get bored with my verbal ramblings and begin to snore in response. One of those times of deep but trivial thought sessions, I imagined hosting a dinner party with a guest… Continue reading Guests for My Dinner Party
I’ve heard the term ‘hale and hearty’ describing someone’s health, but didn’t know ‘hale’ also is a word used for push or haul. Granted, my vocabulary is ‘challenged’, meaning it isn’t highly sophisticated or broad, but I can usually understand what is being discussed if spoken in simple English.

It’s what can happen to an idle mind: if you don’t like what is happening, repaint… Continue reading Just Cover It Up
The question was recently posed, what do we cherish? It came after a speaker encouraged his audience to be grateful for all things we have in our life, and to cherish each day and each moment.

This gave me a smile this week! See more smile pictures at https://trentsworldblog.wordpress.com/2020/06/01/the-weekly-smile-for-the-1st-of-june-2020-weeklysmile/
I took this series of pictures during a walk this week and the sequence made me smile. This gardener was attempting to water plants in a public area but wasn’t getting much water out of the end of the hose, unaware of the reason. When he looked around, he realized the problem… Off he rushed… Continue reading Hole in a Hose Weekly Smile
The mouse and his loved one broke social distancing rules when they met in the garden and sneaked a kiss, sans mask. That’s what this looks like to me…what do you think? In this uncropped version it appears he has swept his lover off her feet!
