The story of a simple man, learning to live a simpler life, in an increasingly complicated world. My adventures in the toy hauler with my fur-babies and an old Harley. Please stay tuned..............

I feel like I have made the BIG TIME. My blog has been picked up byHitchitch.com. This is how I started my adventure....by reading about other full-timer RV blogs. Thanks Ron and Terry!!! Thank you, Maryanne. I am listed on her great site Frugal RV. These are great reference sources.
You know how when we were much younger and we thought life was going to get easier as we aged? That sure was a big, fat lie. I am once again in computer HELL. The computer that I use for my blog, an HP, late model laptop, has died. If the repair guy can get the monitor to fire back up, it may live again. I went to the dentist yesterday. I thought it was strange for a dentist to be open on Saturday, but I knew I needed to go. It turns out I was right. He wanted to do an extraction (pull out my molar!) on the spot. I insisted on some 'let me think about this' time. Could be it is inevitable. I will get a second opinion on Monday. I'm not afraid or anything like that. It's just that I am fond of my teeth. This is just a wake-up call for mortality.
My dad passed to Heaven about 25 years ago. I have realized that the older I get, the smarter he has become. I would rebel at some of his teachings and tell him that he was just old-fashioned. I have learned that true wisdom is ageless.
Aging ain't for sissies! What a cool picture...do you...or anyone out there in the interwebs...know what plant it is? Thank you for sharing...it's beautiful!
Kitty, Dizzy is right. It is a trumpet vine. My sweet Mary (78 yr old) takes care of my dogs when I go on trips, told me she calls them "Lady-fingers". She says she puts them on her fingers, even now, like when she was a little girl.
If it's not one thing it's your mother! I'm starting to think the computer is about 75% of all of our stress...much easier to read a book like I used to.

ReplyDeleteIs that a trumpet vine? They grow wild all over my place, dropping their orange flowers and replacing them with more.

ReplyDeleteI forgot that I love that song. My dad passed to my basement bay last May (I'm not speaking metaphorically).
