June 1 / 2026

 Aha! It is June first and so far this year I have been missing my blog appointment on the first day of each month. Not today. Today, before I put a comb through my hair, I am all over this blog entry. I've been working in the yard and it is looking good, the garden is planted and the grass has been tended to. It's kind of up to Mother Nature now. I have come to realize, you can make all the plans you want and even put into policy all kinds of clever ideas, when it comes to mother nature, watch your back!

Have a great day

 Two months in a row. I guess I'm not one of those people who is a multi tasker, right now I am zeroed in on fixing the cracks in the walls of the house from the winter movement. Patching of the drywall and repainting is almost more than I can handle, I suppose it would be easier if I wasn't removing the trim and base boards, repainting them and reinstalling. Three rooms down. One to go, then maybe I won't neglect getting a new post on the blog to start each month. It's a good thing Louise is on top of things to remind me. Thank you Louise. Have a great day.

 Blast off!!! Nassau is sending 4 earthlings to the moon and I can't even get my blog entry done for the month. Good thing Louise is at mission control. That's all I have, I'm flying by the seat of my pants here, no booster rockets for me.

Have a great day, or should I say, great night.

February 1 / 2026

 I woke up early this morning, very early actually. My computer was flashing a blue light indicating it was on standby. It was then I realized it was Feb 1st and I hadn't even thought of an entry for the blog. I was going to go back to bed and get a few more hours sleep but when I laid down I stepped into a courtroom in which my own mind became the judge and jury of a lifetime of decisions. I am an incompetent lawyer in my own defense so it was better to step out of the courtroom and into the day. 

A few days ago Deanie and I attended the funeral of one of her cousins, he was 86, a farmer around the town of Bethune. That's where the funeral was. A lot of her relatives were there, two of which were Linda and Ken Eberts. They grew up on 11 block Garnet, just a few houses from us, if Deanie and I never played together on her many visits at her cousins ,we were at least in shouting distance of each other many years before we met. Linda and Ken, who was a good friend of Tony's, hadn't heard about Mary Ellen so when they asked about her I had to inform them. They both stated how much they liked Mary Ellen, who was a good friend of their sister Pat, and Linda remembers Mary Ellen walking her to school. It was a nice tribute to Mary Ellen. I miss her.

January 1 2026!

 I was going to start the year with a great quote from the pages of history and around the world. Perhaps from the great Greek philosopher Aristotle or the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. China's most influential philosopher Confucius comes to mind. Maybe from the analytical psychology of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Germany gives us Friedrich Nietzsche with his fondness of aphorisms and irony. How about closer to home with a quote from America's Ralph Waldo Emerson. Maybe that would be more appropriate. Alas. I am not inspired to do, so.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
